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: |

Annual Greek Festival, we have ran this race for several years. The race seems to get smaller each year, don't know the reason. No expectations going into the race, guads a little fatigued from yesterday's biking. Today was Sylvie's first race in her new divsion, she kicked butt, 1st place, she is awesome. The start: no frills, maybe 200 in the race, Sylvie took off like a shot, she hit the first mile in 7:05, may watch had me at 7:22. This is the fastest mile I have ran since knee surgery last year. The fast mile may have been a mistake, but, nice to know I can run a mile under 8 minute miles. The second mile was tough, could see Sylvie up ahead of me starting to walk on the hill, decided if I was going to pass her, on the hill would be the place. As I went by her, said come on, she said, your a beast. As we crested the hill and started on a short down hill, I could hear Sylvie coming, held her off for the next quarter mile, about wiped me out. The next 3/4s mile gradual uphill, starting picking off runners, had one runner pace me after the first mile and passed 15. Positive road kill 14. The second mile was slow up the hill, 16:35 at two miles, held on the last mile for an 8:15 pace. Post knee surgery PR by 6 seconds. It was a fun low key race, Sylvie won a night's stay at quality inn, and we each got a medal. Poast toastees, race thoughts, my training all year has been based on endurance, strong and consistent. The knee cannot handle the speed work to get faster, will need to be ok with endurance. Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out
