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: |

Nice morning, real easy run, woodpeckers pecking, dogs runing, ducks a quacking, kind of a listen to nature day, stop and smell the roses.

It hard to make an entry today, race did not turn out as desired or expected. Myself, and two runner buddies, Brett and Frank, decided we were going to try and run just under and 3:30. The race started fine, we moved up towards the front at the start and got off very smooth. After the first 8 miles were were right on 8 minute miles. On the way up the second up two uphill stretches, 15th to 20th East and the second 20th to 23rd East, my right hamstring really felt tight. I decided to back off going up the hill catch back to them after we turned right on 23rd east. After the turn I caught back up with them for a short time, the Cliff 3:30 pacing group caught us, the group was going at about a 7:45 pace, Frank and Brett went with the group. My hamstring was starting to get tight. I decided to back off the pace just a little and hopefully get past the issue. At half way, !:45 45. The leg was not getting better. At about mile 16, had to pull up and try to strech and massage the hamstring, pulled up again, 3 more times. I finally took a long stop and did some longer streches. At this point I could shuffle/run somewhat, stiff legged on the right leg. Anyway, it was a beautiful day and I decided to jog/hobble in the finish and make lemonade of of a lemon run. The last ten miles, I don't know the running pace because of the stops. But, I did take the opportunity to visit with several runners, Indiana, Idaho, Provo, etc. The most interesting runner was a young lady I named dynomite. She look real fit, small of stature. She stopped at every water stop and walked, I caught her while she was walking and encourged her (dynomite). She really appreciated the words of encouragement.
To make a long story short, maybe trying to run good marathon time is just not for me anymore, run them for fun, and race other distances. It seems as I have got older I do much better at half marathons, 5Ks.
So much for the whining, I need to quickly get recovered for the Ogden marathon, I am going to break 3:30 and have fun. I will call the phsical therapist on monday.
Syliva ran a 1:53 int he half marathon, improved her Striders half marathon time by 3 minutes, she is on the upswing.
