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: |

Upper body weights, light workout day.
Little Running Shorts: tender day, spent two hours holding my grandson, giving my daughter and hubby a break. It was so special and sweet. It brought back memories of raising my two daughters with all baby things that happen. Also, having a grandson, gives me a peaceful mind. I can't explain the feeling, but, just peaceful, happy, and something great.
Stay Kool, thanks for the well wishes, B of BS Rools out |

Early morning - spin 30 minutes and Arc machine 30 minutes.
Spin class with Sylvie - 1 hours, followed by a Yoga class for 1 hour.
Well, three hours on working out today. My body is starting to adjust to the yoga after 4 weeks. The spin class instructor loves the 80s music, yuck, give me the 70s or give me new music. He play bon jovi, then rush, then bon jovi, back and forth for the entire hour.
Spinning short: I had a challenged spinner next to me for an hour, quite interesting on his take on music and everything in general. The instructor somewhat dismissed his comments at first, and then seemed receptive to his comments. I hope he returns, people should not be intimidated by the so called "jocks".

Early morning Arc/spin - 1 hour.
There are some very impressive runners on the blog, in ability and in spirit. If you lack motivation, read, read, read.

Baby Running Shorts: Tristan, grandson, a week old on friday, my daughter lives so close, yet so far away. Having a grandson really brings back memories or raising kids.

90 minutes spinning, nice workout class. The rest of my morning will be boring work stuff, then get the shock put on my mountain bike and then off to take my daughter and her hubby dinner and spend time with my new grandson.
Some days, just wish I was retired and could spend 4 hours working out everyday. less than 4 years left.
By the way, today is the last day to get the reduced price at the Odgen marathon, half and 5K. I signed Sylvie up for the half, me for the 5K. I really wanted to run the half, but, the downhill and slanted roads would likely not make for a pleasant run for the knee.

Spinning class, 2 and 1/2 hours, good efffort.
Maiden voyage on my new Mountain bike, only fell once, hurt my pride, could not get out of the clips. Darn, just as I was stopping to talk to Rob and his buddy about running. I rode 8 miles on my new bike while Sylvie was running. It was a fun day to get out.
Intro to Barney Shorts: I am going to start blogging family things and thoughts, kind of a diary. So, if you read on, may not be very interesting.
Barney Shorts: Yesterday was a touching day. My daughter, Jenna, who had her first baby last week, my first grandchild, was having a very rough day. She had the baby C-section and some very tough days. I called her yesterday, telling her we were coming for a visit, to Marion (by Kamas for you Utah bloggers). . She broke out into tears with depression and being scared. It is a big responsibility to realize you are responsible for another person. This is likely a very natural reaction for new mothers. Me and Sylvie went to visit, took them dinner and we visited for 3 hours talking about life. As we arrived, Jenna, broke out into tears again. We talked about prayer, the cycle of life, Yoga, and my experiences with her as the first baby.
Sylvie Short: Sylvie was very positive, reassuring and kind to Jenna. Sylvie is so sweet and a great wife.
Closing baby Short: I have volunteered to tend the baby when she works on fridays. We'll see in grandpa still has it. Jenna really misses family, not many visit because of the drive up and down Parleys canyon. I am making it a point to visit at least every other week and spend time in the summer with her and Tristan.
