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, 24 miles - would be torture without the IPOD. Attempting this week to move my running miles and cross training converted miles to plus 60 for the week, time to tack on endurance for the marathon coming up and 15 mile trail race in August. My training approach is a hybrid, running 10 or 12 miles with biking 30 or 40 miles the same time, hopefully get the workout benefit of a long run without doing a long run, save those knees for the races. Another workout later today - 17 miles on the parkway.

Spin 24 miles, Deseret Palms fitness, good hard class.
Yard Sales with Sylive - one an only for the day - stopped, an old guy, mid sixties in a tie dye shirt selling a bunch of old stuff, Sylvie bought a Kool old gothic desk. I asked him if he made his own shirts, the dam burst, yes, I am openly gay, made 200 shirts, was an original hippy form the hade Ashbury area, what a character, he said he was in 4 books regarding the Hade Ashbury area, funny guy. Sylive is going to a get release and picture of him and his companion next week. Last thing, he held out is hand wanting to shake my hand, when I went to shake his hand, he kept moving his hand. After about 3 or 4 little kid games of miss the hand shake, I lightly bopped him on his bald held, he was a little upset, but, then started laughing, well, the characters you meet.
Sand Hollow Acq Center, swam 1 miles, half mile free and 1/2 mile back stroke, one length at a time with a 5 to 10 second rest each length, I was pooped, have never swam free style that long. After about 30 lengths of free, started to get the fell on hip rotation, with free lengths faster than back stroke. Bottom line, happy with the hard effort, pooped.

Snow Canyon, West Canyon, 6 a.m. run to beat the heat, hard run up, ran fairly well going up, Sylvie beat me going up and down, she is getting in good shape. I may be the only runner that can run faster uphill than down. I made the mistake of wearing my road shoes rather than trail shoes. Sylvie says she seen about 30 little rabbits.

West Canyon, Snow Canyon run with Sylive, 5:30 start to beat the heat, half way up, 3 runners caught us, wow, I hate to be passed, Sylive picked up the pace and we held them offf for a half mile, the two guys passed us then stopped 100 yrds ahead, the girl ran with us for a while. We got a kick out of the pick up the pace, when we were heading down, the three of them were walking and look spent, it is always nice to have a little fun. No matter how many times we run this run, the view is spectacular. I ran with a Treking pole for the first time, hard to get the hand of, it did seem to reduce the pounding on the knee somewhat. If you have ever rode the "Soaring Ride" in Disney World or Disney Land - Snow Canyon would make the best soring ride, what a kool place.
Rode my mountain bike for 10 miles, fun ride, love that mountain bike, it would cost 20 tickets at lagoon for that ride.
