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: |

Easy early morning run, south along the Jordan Parkway until the trails meets 700 W. Legs are still feeling funny from the friday leg weight workout. 8:55 pace as compared to 9:09 yesterday. for the same distance.
We all have our shoe stories, find those magic shoes that are just right for the marathon, these shoes feel like they don't have enough cushioning, these shoes feel like too much, these shoes are too tight, the story goes on. Anyway, I have found my magic shoes, green, luck of the Irish. I bought these shoes over ebay and they came with no insert. I took an insert out of a pair of Asics and put in these Nike Air Zoom Elite, magic. Anyway, I hope magic.
May have a tough week running, on the road to Kansas City for a couple of days.
I had a thought today, based on a comment by Lybi that I could not be the only clumsy runner. I will give you one my favorite stories of hitting the dust while running:
Hawaii, NikeTown Wednesday Night Run - I have been to Hawaii several times, each time we always make it a point to run the Wed. Nike Town Run with local runners. It is more like a race for 7 or 8 miles. This Wed. night, about 2 years ago, Gerry Lindgren was leading the fun run, I quickly got along side him and gave him the fan stuff about how great he was, yada, yada, yada, and I got his autograph at the Salt Lake Marathon. This Wed. night run, the girls cross country team from Xavier was there for a meet. Gerry was leading them in a fartlek workout. Well, I decided that I would try and do the workout with them. The first two pickups, about 6 min mile pace I hung with the group. I then started to fade. As I started to fade, a local runner (looked like he was 20 years older than me) passed me and said "I am slowing down at any time", I took this as a smart"A" comment and that gave me motivation to take chase. I was ten yards behind, chasing him along the sidewalk on Alomoana Bld, he was coming up on two ladies on the side walk and he yelled coming thru. The two ladies split apart like the red sea, (I thought they would stay split apart and saw me also), the red sea came back together as fast as it came apart. I had about two steps to make my move to the right off the sidewalk, I caught my left foot on a tree root, going a 6 min. pace, and did a dive that may have scored an 8. A quickly got up almost without losing pace to chase the guy in front of me. He beat me back to NikeTown, he did not even say good race or anything. I was soom the center of attention with blood running down my leg from a would along the side of the knee. (Good part of the story), two girls felt sorry for me and proceed to clean up the wound. *Note, I am a crazy and clumsy runner at times. Other stories to follow each week.
