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: |

Odd Run today. Decided, from reading the dark horse's blog, to give the Olympic Oval running track a try today. When I got there, the only people were about 100 Army reservists doing a PT, there were in the process of doing pushups and situps. Interesting, kind of deja vue, I was in the Naval Reserve, CPO, for 22 years. Well, ran about 8 laps and the Army guys had moved to the track to get ready for their 2 mile run. When I came around the track they split like the red sea to let me go thru, I gave them all high fives on both sides, just like in some races. It was pretty cool. As I came around the next lap they were ready to start the 2 mile timed run. About 30 yards after I passed them, the leader said go. I wondered if their would be a real runner in the group. Sure enough, a young Army guy was quickly at my side, decided to stay with him as long as possible. To my surprise, when we came around, after the about 7 something laps, the young Army guy had a about a ten second win on me. He ran a 13:00 flat and I ran a 13:10. I was pretty pooped. The Army guys doing the timing were real supportive yelling at me and yelling my finishing time. So, I ran a sort of race today with Army guys and girls. I took a couple of minute break and then started running around the track. Lapped well over half of the troops. I was going to stop at 40 laps, about 12 miles, but, a couple of runners hit the track when I was at about 30 lapes, ran 20 laps with them at an 8 minute mile pace. I slowed down a bit to run with them. Good running chatter with them. I kind of lost track of the laps, either ran 50, 51 or 52.
It was nice to run 8 minute miles again without snow, ice, wind and 20 lbs of extra clothes. I really thought I was getting slower and slower.

Monday morning came without no warning of what was to be, O' monday morning. The mamas and the papas were not runners. But they knew about mondays. Bloggers, have a great running week. Treadmill, 8:25 pace converted. Switched between two treadmills to lessen impact or repeated steps. Legs a little tired from yesterday. There is likely no way I could have ran outside this morning without real risk of biffing. The parkway is a sheet of ice, the streets around my area have no shoulder and are icy. I hope conditions improve today.
I long for the summer days.
Lunch time, 10 minutes warmup on excercise bike, 1 mile on treadmill with 4 striders at 6:36 pace. It is interesting how you can force you self to pick up the pace on tired legs. Cool down, stretching.

Early morning, no sun shine, no walkers, no bikers, no dogs, no other runners, just me the lone morning runner in the dark trodding along a snow packed trail dodging ice patches. I know it was not colder than other recent morning runs, but, the legs were saying what the heck are you doing running out here. I need a vacation.

Treadmill run this morning, started at 8 min pace and gradually, every lap moved to 7:13 pace (converted treadmill pace) for the last 8 miles. Picked up the pace the last 1/2 mile to 6:50 pace.
Very happy with the effort, total time for the 10 miles 1:13:00. *Personal note, this run was with no taper, no warm up miles, straight out of the shoot. It seems the increase in miles is starting to payoff with more speed endurance. May run a few easy miles at lunch. Lunch time, 2.25 miles, stretching.
Last note, don't know what category to put miles in, somewhat between threshold and marathon pace miles.

Good News!!!!! I will not need to carry Sylvie's gym bag at Moab, I am in the Moab Half Marathon. I better get training.
Early morning, baby stepped the run thru ice patches along the parkway.
Lunch time, ate a pizza while I ran, 1.75 miles on the treadmill with 4 x 100 yeard striders at 6:36 pace. It was an imaginary pizza.

Nice morning for a runner, upper 20's this morning. Ran part of my run on the road this morning to avoid ice on the parkway. Funny thing, it seems everyone trains different when they have a goal, getting into Moab Half now gives me a goal, lose 4 pounds by then, no more Jelly Bellies, cookies or icing from the inside out at night. The blog is getting to be like a bunch of simblings, joust, battle and makeup like it never happened. Good thing, cause the blog has been way fun.
Lunch time run, eating a pastrami cheeseburger from Apollos, while running on the treadmill, 3 miles easy in 23:40. The eating was imaginary.

Easy run saturday morning, had to run early as we are baby sitting our of our grand kids all weekend. Holy Cow, I am hungry, I could eat a horse. Enough with the WW. We need food to run, lots of calories. We are generally taking about non-runners here? I hope they become runners and don't need WW.
