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: |

Family run day, signed up all the kids and grand kids for the race. Fun morning. I pushed the double baby jogger with two of my grandsons aboard, it was fun weaving in and out of people, slow start, baby joggers had to start at the back. The first mile, legs were somewhat dead, felt better and better, last mile was the fastest on the uphill portions with runner traffic thinning. Talked to Olaf (long time, 20 year running buddy, had heart surgery, has to really watch his heart rate, still out their doing it), passed him at about the half mile mark, note, my actual run time, no chips, was about 30 to 50 seconds faster than the than race time recorded, no big deal, but, my actual pace was close to 9 min miles pushing the baby jogger, happy with the effort. Jeremy caught me at mile one, grandsons on board father, weaved and left him. I almost caught Bonnie at the end, 4 seconds ahead.
Note, I ran without the brace today, trying the new running style, can go faster with low impact, seems to be ok, just very careful on the downhill, I wish the race was all uphill.
Sylvie won her division - yea, Taylor won the family trophy, with Jeremy injured, he was a shoe in.
The 4 grand kids ran the kids race, I ran with Tristan, the youngest, he had to be carried part of it, we were the last to finish, he was happy with the dog tag medals.
Talked to Harry and Colleen, both won their divisions. (Colleen has won her division twice at STG and Harry is likely the top runner in his 70 year runner in the state. Both were under 8 min. miles.
Bike rode, 2 hours biking along the trail, nice ride with little trail traffic, came home and did circuit weights.
Stay Kool, B of bS Rool sout
