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: |

Spinning Wheels - 21.66 miles - good effort, avg. HR 155
I was at a spinning class last week, the instructor asked, what do you want out of the last 10 minutes of the class? No one in the class spoke up, I remembered an Obama speech about a little old lady at a fire house who was the town cryer, who's cry: "fire it up". Well, without hesitation, I said fire it up. The instructor, hard core biker chick fired it up.
Well, why am I telling this story? For the first time in months, I have two days off from exercising in less that a week. My nfew motto: fire it up. fire it up, fire it up. No excuses to rest on my getting fatter duff.

50 miles on the bike, 1 hr spinning class with 10 min. warmup, then 30 miles on the Jordan trail. It was a great fall day for a bike ride.
The hard core biker cicka led the spin class today, nice workout. From a guy's point of view, who has better looking legs, biker chickas or runner chickas. Who knows, they all look in great shape.
