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: |

Some apprehension about this race, essentially, not have ran the last four months because of the SF. Well, turned out to be fun and a good workout. My oldest daughter, Jenna and her husband, Jeremy, ran their first half marathon, they were so excited. Jeremy pushed a double baby jogger with his two boys, ran a 2:15. Jenna, did a 2:28 and was very happy not stopping during the race. Sylive did a 2:10, not what she would have liked.
The morning started with chaos, what do we wear, etc. rounded up two ponchos, gloves, got them layered and ready to go. Jenna and Jeremy, were not prepared with rain garb. The two boys, grand kiddies were great, the rain do not bother them. Sylive started up towards the start, the rest of lined up almost at the very back. I ran with Jenna and Jeremy the first quarter mile, Jeremy took off. I soon started the run/walk routine, ran all the uphills, some of the down, had fun passing runners on the uphills.
Overall, good training run, not too sore, avg pace about 12 min miles, I know, slower than slow. But, do what you can do. I ran with a guy that had lost 70lbs and had 40lbs left to lose before the Odgen half, gave him 10,000 commando points, raised hands together in a photo op, and then left him the last couple of miles. My stamina was good, had all postive road kill the last 2.1 miles.
It is just how things go, go from the top 10% to the bottom 10% in four years. Well, maybe that is not the way to view it, could be on the couch, still out there, giving the best each day.
Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out
