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: |

Incognito Spinning Wheels - Wore a disguise today, dark shades indoors, who's your daddy hat, IPOD and earphones, zoned out without anyone recognizing me in the fitness center. I'm not sure it worked, several gym rats smiled at me like they knew who I was and my secret, listening and singing to the music. Crazy mixture of music it was, No Doubt with Gwen, Gwen without no doubt, ACDC, beatles, doors, Janice Joplin, CCR, Led Zep, Across the Universe, etc. It was a darn fun 90 minutes, 31 miles of a fun road trip with my music buddies without leaving the gym. Darn cool workout without any of those why aren't you running questions.

Birth of Commando Point Chronicles - Only three bloggers have asked about those darn commando points. Funny thing, several have asked why they didn't get more and several have given points to others. Some bloggers seem indifferent to the pionts, others really appreciate the recognition. Whatever the reaction, everyone deserves the recongition of the strength of spirit to hang it all out on the line in tough weather, a race or overcome obstacles that would hinder most.
The Beginning - A couple of years ago I was training with my step son for the St.George marathon. We were on a long run when he decided we should have a contest to be the first to jump a chain stretched accross a shut down part of the trail. Well the race was on, (the chain was about 50 yrds ahead) we both took off like a shot to jump the chain, I tripped over a tree root, splattered on the ground, was back up in a split second and jumped the chain a split second after my step son. My step son said, wow, you are a real commando and get commando points. From the point on we awarded commando points for outstanding efforts. The real benefit of commando points, they will be cashed in for runner high moments when you least expect. The next time you feel great about your effort, your run, you can look back and say, hey, the run where I earned commando points really paid off.
