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: |

Very quite day, Sylvie had to work, I had to work from home several hours to get ready for end2end testing in the morning. As the day moved towards the western falling sun, rode the spin bike for 96 minutes, bench press and curls. The days are getting longer, yea.
Blogging and Running Thoughts - My mind and body is moving away from running with every step as the knee complains louder. Regardless of the knee, I still enjoyed the run yesterday greatly. Anyway, ramble on and on.
Thanks for all the blogs, friends, thoughts, excitement and motivation. I will be watching, so, you never know when you will get commando points.

Early morning spin class, fun class, intervals. The instructor played running against the wind as the Kool down song. Me and Sylive are doing a 3hr spin class on saturday. After the class today, came home and rode my spinning bike another hour, bench press, curls and side lifts.
Sylvie has decided to let me coach her. I wonder how long it will take before she fires me as her coach. My first concern is for her to get back to a good base, cardio 5 days a week for a few weeks an then move up from there. Sylive's goal is to place in the top 8 in her new division this year at St.George. To obtain that goal, I think she needs to get back to running a 5K in 8 minute miles. With some good tempo runs and the proper training this should give her a good chance. Also, as Sylive does not like tempo runs, add a couple of extra half marathons on her running schedule this year. Halfs she will run: Salt Lake, Ogden, Bryce, Hobble Creek and Provo River. We would like her to add maybe two that would fit in the training schedule without stressing her too much. We will pick only a couple of them as complete PR efforts.

3 hour spin class this morning, my butt is sore, fun class, hard work. 4 instructors traded off each 45 minutes to keep us going. Me and Sylive kept right up with those hard core biker chickas and dudes. Rode 70 miles, converted to 17. 5 miles.
