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: |

Early morning run, dark, haze from the fire against the moon, nice temps. Nothing exciting, except a lady with the two pit bulls ahead of me jogging. Rather than attempt to pass, stopped and stretched, let them get far enough ahead that I would not catch them before turning for home. Spin 50 minutes, 100 ball crunches with 15lb overhead weights, 2 sets bench press, slant board dumbell lifts tricepts,

Full Brick practice today - 5 a.m., swim 1 mile, every other lenght back stroke and free style, hopped on the spin bike for 10 miles, and then on the treadmill for 2.5 miles at 2.5% grade, 9:10 minute miles. The run was tough on dead legs, need to keep practicing this set, move the bike and run up to an Olympic distance. It seems the run is always a gut check. Spent half the day with my oldest daughter and my two grandsons, lunch, etc. was a fun break from work.

Have a nice day, with BonJovi, knees achy starting out, ran south 2.5 miles and turned around for home, Gene Turner caught me, ran with him for a mile talking about races gone by, he is still running great, nice to have a pacer for a mile, forgot the achy knees and ran about 8:15 for a mile. Back track, made Sylvie a cup of coffee before heading out for the run, she wanted to run 5 miles when I got back to the house. Ran with Sylvie to the never bear, felt better mentally, kept up a good pace to the never bear, close to 8 min miles. Sylive kept going, I turned back for home. A group of women runners, 2 by 2, were running off the dirt trail back to the pavement, going up the circle hill, decided to pass the them all, great fun, they circled back the dirt trail along the river. When I hit 53rd, a guy passed me, said hi, did my best running off the pavement, along the dirt to stay up with him, hung on 1/2 until the turn to home, about a 7:30 pace.
Overall assessment, my knees ache at 10 min miles or 8 min miles, try and run more miles up tempo along the dirt, should help for the run leg of Tris. It was great to have a positive running day heading to STG next thursday for the marathon.
