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: |

Stay Kool, Vroom 24, B of BS Rools out
Thoughts of the day - Some moments live in time for all of us. I had one of those moments today. This first time my grandson smiled at me. He is just over three weeks old. I was holding him and barely touched his nose, it must have given him a tickle, he gave me such a sweet smile. It seems when you are raising you own kids, just trying to ge thru the day, we may miss some of those special moments. Tristan, is Kool, By the way, my daughter and her husband (Jenna and Jeremy) were standing right with me for the smile, we were all quite giddish.

32 miles spin bike class, hurry off to work. Spin classes offer some social and some limited entertainment. We have all sorts in the class, from the novice who can almost crash a spin bike to those who wear their century shirst, Triple Crown ect. Also, the lingo is somewhat like runnng with PRs, etc. I have not quite caught on to the lingo. I feel like a runner out of place. I know this will never be my passion, no races to win, no PRs to tackle. My challenge is to enjoy the moment.

Before work, ARC trainer 30 minutes, circuit weights upper body
After work - 95 minutes of spin class with Sylvie,
We lost our internet connection at home yesterday, Sylvie had to down load a report from her work, we drove over to a Mad Coffee shop that had wireless internet. I felt guilty setting outside the shop using the internet.

Not a running entry - and entry on life 2-19-09
four weeks ago, my oldest daughter Jenna, had her first baby, a boy named Tristan. She was quite upset, scared, hormones, etc. I reassured her that she and her hubby Jeremy would be great parents and in a couple of weeks her son would smile at her with approval. So is the cycle of life, as Jenna listened, I was hoping that to live to see Tristan's first child.
Today, the life cycle continues on, my mother was diagnosed for the second time with breast cancer. It seems more serious this time. I quickly called my youngest daughter Shanna, she is a radiation therapist to get some feel of would could be expected. Expectations may not be the best, or could be, who knows. My mother, is in farily good shape at 78, she very well could enjoy life much longer. I called my mother again today, she was funny, she really hoped to outlive my dad so she could feel freedom. It is a long story of a generation of men who were not the best to their spouse. Anyway, I could write a book about the goodness of my mother and her sense of humor. I could write another book about my father, salt of the earth.

60 minutes Arc Machine - early morning workout, working long hours is not good.
Almost finished the Secret Life of Bees, not happy about the direction the book is taking.

2 and 1/2 hours spinning class today, good effort, another 10 miles with Sylvie, 61 miles total. Sylvie is practicing for our duathlon next weekend. I rode my new mountain bike today, sweet, sweet ride. I counted 23 runners on the trail today and about a dozen bikers. I wore my Boston Marathon jacket today, got a few double takes from some of the runners. Said hi to BC, has won the masters division at Des News marathon like 5 or 6 years in a row.
