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: |

Running on a prayer, without BonJovi. No doubt, with Gwen, cross train cross train, does not translate into faster running. Althougth this was a personal worst, I would not call it such, lucky to still be out there pounding the pavement. Back to the race - PreRace - arrived an hour early for a good parking spot and plently of potty stops. We ran into Tom and Kim, hope Kim got her PR in the 5k, check her blog tomorrow. I love all the prerace stuff, colorful outfits, the excitement and the anticipation. We lined up mid-pack, decent start given the large crowd. Sylive was out like a shot, Devine darted past me, not even enough time for a shout out, then a lady running just to the left and behind took a header and almost took me out, amazingly, she was back on her feet in an instant. My legs quickly told me a story, you can finish this race if you run at my pace, darn. At about mile 4, a couple of ladies passed, the one looked like K-Power, found out later in the race she was pacing a couple of friends, paying it forward. Anyway, she looked in great shape, running at a snail's pace for her.
Back in the pack - a rose of a different color, glad to have the company, not so glad to not be able to run the tangent, sudden stops in front of me, runners 3 abreast, ipods instead of running chatter, would rather have the chatter. First loop, passed by the first 6 leaders, Paul was leading, looking strong. The second loop, starting slowing at about mile, not stops during the race. One moment of conquering - I was the only runner running up the hill at the second loop of the trail that I could see.
Finish, mustered up a kick and passed a dozen or so runners down the last stretch. The crowd really gave me a yell, thanks.
Devine Miss M - always great to see you and get race talk for a few minutes, wish we could have extended that chat a bit. Sylvie had had enough, she had a tough time the last three miles, 2:09, and was not happy with her race, wanted to leave.
Overall, glad to be out there, little kid high fives, darn great, people yelling encouragement, sweating and struggling with fellow runners, just something good about being in the game. Game on - Dog Town next month.
Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out
