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: |

| Hum, ran with Brett and Diana, lunch time run. Gaining 10 lbs the last two montths really shows, mirror test. Also, running 8 minute miles feels like a 7:15 effor. It is time to get back with the program if I expect to be in decent shape for a spring marathon. |

| Not a pretty story, being upset with the mirror, ran 7 miles in the dark, slushy, icy trail. Maybe not a smart run, but my running mental health needed to check into runner's rehab. Stress at work with limited running is not a good training diary. |

| Interesting run today. Colleen, division winner at St.George ran with me, Brett (30 marathons) and tri-athelete Diana today at lunch. A nice relaxing, talk as you run turned out to be an up tempo challenge. Right out of the chute, Colleen led us by a few yards. I decided to move up and stay with her (she is training for the Hilo Marathon). The run was then on, she kept us at a good 7:15 pace for the next mile and 1/2. Dianamal quickly fell off the pace. Brett, game for the effort, caught back up to us. Then all of a sudden a young fast runner ran right between us. Colleen was off on the chase to stay with him as long as possible. Myself and Brett were impressed with her gutty effort, we soon took after the chase and caught back up to her. The game was then on, Brett surged for the next half mile. It took some real effort to stay with him. Colleen dropped off the back a few yards. We hit the turnaround, Brett surged again, I hung on and Collen keep right in step behind. The pace settled back to about a 7:30 and it was my turn, took off at about a 6:45 for the next 1/4 with Brett in chase. Anyway, it was fun to do some up pace running. The warmer day helped. Colleen let us go with 1/2 mile left. We found out after the run that she had ran 6 miles in the morning. She is a tough runner, won the womens division at the Boise marathon. I hope this type of running keeps me motivated. B of BS Rools out. |
