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: |

| Crazy, crazy, - when you go to bed a 9.m. every night, running a midnite 5K is not a wise idea. The race was fun, glow sticks, big crowd, etc. I was so darn tired when the race stared, B and S lined up towards the front, Slyvie took off like shot, my legs would not move, pumped my arms like crazy to get my legs going. The course was ran in mud, well, just for me. The first half was dreadful, an old lady in a walker passed me like I was standing still. The second half, blowing head winds, a short hill, started feeling better, ran fairly well the second half an sprinted to beat another old Please follow Fast Running Blog policy regarding vulgar language
Post Race - Sylvie ran a very good race in the wind, hill, ran a 26 something. They handed out cards with your place and time. Slyvie won her division and I was third her division, we would look good together on the podium. ha ha, race mixup, but, was funny. As we were waiting for them to call Sylvie's division, they called out the Women's Master winner, 40 and over, it was Sylvie, she was so excited, jumping up and down, yelling, I was cheering like crazy. She was so happy "I am so glad you signed me up for this race". It as very cute, the award was a very nice plaque. When they got to the women's 55=59, darn, they realized I was no female, took my award, darn, the goatee have me away. Don't know how I did in my real division, does not matter, tired of glow sticks, glow sticks were the awards.
Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out |
