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: |

Spin on and on, then on again - Well, do what you must - Spin 1 hour before work - crashed the spinning class, 30 minutes in - as soon as I entered, the instructor, Tina, looked and me, laughed, says this is a chick only class and we are playing girl music- I said, on my, you have likely play girls just want to have fun 5 times already. Well, it was on after that, 13 women and me in the class, "Axe to Grind" her handle as a roller derby gay, said the place reeked of estrogen, and the ribbing went on and on, I was gay, couldn't keep up, they had fun giving me the business. BS Rools is always up for some fun poking - gave it back, when the class was done on a very hard standup hill, I said, when are you girls going to pick up the pace? It was funny, the two gal spin instructors each gave me a laugh and a high five as they left. Now the rest, 4 guys, regulars in the next spinning class were giving me the business outside the class, pointing, etc. Well, it was fun.
The workout, total 51 miles, today, 12.75 cross training, 2.5 hours in and out of the saddle.
B-think - my step son cleaned the garage, found a savings bond issued in 1978 and old pictures of me and my girls, and our dog Baily about 20 years ago atop Granduer peak with snow covered peaks in the background. On the hike back down that day it started a wet snowing, the trail was muddy as heck, we slipped fell several times hurrying down the 6 miles, we were a mess, my car was a bigger mess after hike. I was a single father with my two girls for about 5 years, raising them during teenage years, good memories and I hoped that I helped them along, they both are college grads and have great jobs.
