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: |

Sleep for a change, did not get up until 7 a.m., went to my mother's house, fun to see my mom and dad, sister. My legs are a little tired after all the spinning and bike riding last week, 240 miles - Decided to just lift weights today, workout room downstairs - spin bike, Nordic Trak and weights. Completed the double set of bench press, curls, back dumbells, hamstring ball, and 100 crunches. Decided to ride the spin bike for few minutes to loosen the legs, ended up spinning for two hours.
Personal note - my X of 30 years ago, broke her pelvis today on a 4 wheeler, my girls are pretty upset. Hope she is ok.
Self Fitness Assessment - still need to lose 8 to 10 lbs, I still eat like a runner, just don't burn the same calories on a bike. I'm getting the quads of a biker.

Moon shadow, moon shadow, I'm being followed by a moon shadow, with Cat. Beautiful morning running. I just love running in the dark at 4:30, nice cool morning, running by the light of the moon. Countless mornings gone by.
May the wind be at the back of all runners at Ogden, feet lite as air.

| Race weekend, really wanted to run the half marathon, tried to switch, no luck. 2 weeks ago, ran a 29:04 5k, goal was to get under 9 minute miles, 8:28 pace today, knee felt fine. It was darn cold before the race with a wind blowing down the canyon. Not expecting much, lined up in about the middle of the pack, what a mistake. The 5k funneled onto the trail, not enough room for all the runners. Hard to measure how much time was lost getting around runners and being slowed at the start. The fun part was passing runners, had big positive road kill with only two runners passing me after the first mile. I lost count at about 50 runners positive. The first mile was 9:57, did not do the math, but rest of the race was a little under 8 min. miles. I know, not fast, but, fast for me. This is the first 5K for some time the has given me the racing rush. Next goal, under 8 min. miles next month at the Art attack. This was my 10th run of the year! Sylvie says I should only run on race days, save the knee. Sylvie, took third in her division with a very nice award for her effort. Sylvie has great potential if I could get her to train more. Post race, could not stick around and watch the marathoners, had to hurry off to work, bummer. Project rollout at work, work again tomorrow. Hopefully, last overtime for a few months. Blogger sightings: Sasha, fast and darn determined. There is no other look like Sasha gritting to the finish. Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out |
