Personal: BSRools, the B stands for Brent and the S for Sylvie. The Rools come from my personal running rools over the years: Never complain once the run starts, allways pick up the pace into the wind and always pick up the pace on a hill. If someone whines, pick up the pace. Once a goal is set, no whining, regardless of setbacks. We were running when running was not Kool. Kool comes from a race story, ran my first race, 5K wearing a "beanie that had "Kool Aid Kid" Favorite Blogs: |

Snow Canyon, west canyon run - great day to run in the sun, shorts and short sleeve shirt. We bought two Iron water belts, worked real welll, good effort on the dirt rolling up hill the first 4 miles. On the way up, 6 turkey vulchers, circling high above a red rock cliff, really cool to watch, they really have way of catching the updraft. Legs were somewhat tired on the way done, knee was giving me a little trouble. Syvlie was smoking me on the downhill, decided to try and catch her the last mile, caught and passed her the last 200 yrds, yea, beat her to the end, she laughed, she slowed down to let me catch up. This 8 mile run is a very good workout.
Biggest Loser Fitness camp, about 10 women and 1 guy, jogging walking down West Canyon, gave them all a high five, and said great work, keep it up. I gave a few more high fives to others, Sylvie laughed, hey, those are not biggest loser campers, didn't care, just having some fun giving encouragement, gave on camp member commando points, she was jogging slowly downhill, really putting out the effort. I'm sure she knew nothing about commando points, but, she smiled and said thanks.
After we got back to the house, rode the road bike for 30 miles, up to snow canyon blvd, over to Ivins, down thru Santa Clara, back up Dixie downs to Snow Canyon Parkway, over to Snow Canyon, up the duathlon turnaround and back the house, nice ride on tired legs, good way to simulate a long run.
St.George has been great, love the area, running, biking, hiking. Last note, contacted a swim coach, taking a lesson every two weeks, she has coached many Tri athletes. I am still o the fence about signing up for the 2011 Iron Man, may wait until 2012 if my knee holds out.
It is hard to blog when your blogging for 3 or 4 days at once, loose some of the special thoughts about the day.
Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out
