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: |

After work, 72 minutes spinning and 15 minutes on the Nordic Trak, attempted to lift weights, low energy. It was fun to watch a replay of the Sugar bowl last night. Funny thing, I still got nervous even knowing who won, crazy fan.

30 minutes bike and 30 minutes ARc machine, kind of a boring workout, tired of my old music. I got a call from my daughter last time, and old family friend passed away in a car accident yesterday. My daughter was quite upset.

Spin class with Sylvie and then Yoga. Star Struck, David Archeletta, 2nd place in American Idol was at the gym tonight. It was funny for all the girls to go ga ga. A young lady in our spin class was going nuts. David seems like a very nice young man. The whole scene was funny.
Running short of it: I keep putting off running because of the knee. Well, time to give it a try for a couple of miles tomorrow.

Today was the day, my first grandson was born a few minutes ago, I am off to see him. Some days are just special.
Back from the hospital, how cute, how special, I am so happy, my first question to my grandson, are you going to be a runner? So cute, my daughter was so excited.
Barney Shorts: Today brougt back many memories, when my first daughter was born, could see the blond hair coming out, was it a boy or a girl? It really made no difference. the happiest days of my life were when my two kids, Jenna and Shanna were born.
