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: |

I am not an Ipod person, first run with an Ipod. I like the clarity of the music, but am somewhat irrated with the Beatles. I have too many beatle songs, need more variety. Anyway, back to the running, no trouble with the hamsstrings today. Ran north to the Redwood Multipurpose center and home. Nice even pace the whole run, 8:20 pace.
I was quite amazed to see the quick recovery from the Salt Lake Marathon for some of the bloggers who ran the Striders 30K. Congrads. |

6 miles - Gardner Village and home, great morning for weather. Some leg fatigue. It seems all the hamstring excercises are keeping the legs somewhat tired. I am going to move to an every other day routine as the hammys did not bother me on the 15 miles yesterday.
Upper body weights, 5 min. excercise bike, 1 mile on the treadmill.

5 a.m. run today, weather great, first day since the marathon that I have had some zip in my legs. Ran the first half in 7:45 pace, second half about 8 min mile pace. I need to get a garmin. I have not timed myself on a morning run for several years, I am going to start timing me for the first 4 miles to allow a comparision over the next few months. I tend to get lazy in the morning and just stroll along.
10 minute warmup on exc. bike, 2 x 1/4 repeats at 6:10 pace, 1 mile at marathon pace and 1/2 easy. Legs feeling much better.

Hot and wind run at lunch with Davey. I first ran with Dave 2 years ago when he was just starting to run. He has really improved. We picked up the pace about every other mile.
Legs feeling much better, happy with the effort. |

Cold and windy day, ran 6 miles north along the trail and back home, ran the last 10 miles with Sylvia. I was ready to quit after 14, no energy, ate a cliff bar and drank a large bottle of endurance gatorade. It seemed to help. I made it thru the last 8 miles ok. Very happy with the week of running after having hamstring problems. I am ready for summer.

One note, passed two lady runners going up a small hill, I heard one of them say I wish I had leg turnover like him. I should never complain, there is always someone behind and someone ahead, its all relative. Keep the running faith and move forward.
One last note, if I counted sunday and monday in this week of running, 74 mile week, highest of the year.
