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: |

TRy Zone - mixed up brick workout
Nice morning run, warm morning, puffy white clowds, patches of ice - playing hop scotch - just nice to be outside - 3 miles into the run, looked up in the sky to the west, the moon had found a window to shine through the clouds, pretty sight - roosters singing good morning - looked to the wasatch mountings, blue sky peeking through the clouds as the morning coming to life.
Swim - Murray Park Center - only one in the pool with two life guards watching - felt self conscious doing the back stroke for a mile. The water was warm, good workout, relazing hard if that makes sense. It would make sense to swimmers.
Spin - home to watch the puppy while Sylvia at work - good effort 60 minutes.
Thoughts about the day - wish alll winter days were like today - what shall I do with the rest of the day? Do laundry? Start a new book? Blogger gone crazy? Plan my diet? Eat two boxes of dots? Make NewYear's resolutions? Post to my journal? Does free time agree with me?

Moopy start to the day - rode spin bike for 30 minutes, avg effort, kind of in a funk this morning. Later in the day - comment from coach about Again to Carthage - put some fuel in the tank - my days of any elite running in my age division are gone, but, I can still attempt to be mentally elite at times. Inspiration comes at odd times - good time for me.
After work - hurried home, grabbed my running and biking gear - Me and Milly have a strained relationship, but, she makes me work. Call in zone, crazy - put on the running brace, calf sleeves and slowly stepped on Milly - decided today would be a mental day - plugged in the IPod - cranked up to 3% - 7 miles per hour pace - lightly held on to the bar - quick start - closed my eyes - listen to seven songs - ran with purpose - thought of race moments of mental toughness. opened my eyes - the finish had passed - happy BS Rools - off to a spin class dripping wet. Great day to be a runner.

Darn, weather just too cold for my knees. Met the spinning instructor, 30 minutes early, to get a good warmup for the two classes, very good effort, happy with the 52 miles. My endurance seems good for this time of year.
Goatee report - old news
Puppy report - Roxie is great, potty trained. Our only issue now seems to be her liking my socks and Sylvie's house shoes.
