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: |

Maria (without Carey) was by running buddy, pushing me forward going north and my para-sailing coach running south. I could almost hear Roger Petersen singing, instead, I sang the only two lines of the song I know. It was good no one was on the trail to hear me. It is pretty bad when even Clint Eastwood has better pipes. I seen no wagons to paint on the trail.
Lunch time treadmill: 8 miles to make a 20 mile day. Davey got on one of the treadmills just before me, that got me motivated to not stop before him, good thing he did 7 miles, I only had 1 mile left. Avg pace 7:45 with last mile at a 7:19 pace. Very happy to get a 20 mile day with the weather outside. I always remind myself when staying in bed seems good, run now or you may deal with unhappy weather later in the day.

Thank goodness for great winter running gear and shoes. All us WOWs are almost worn out with winter, but, we keep trudging, knowing that a PR or placing in our age division will not come without extraordinary effort. Every morning when I think about staying in bed, did the guy who beat my last saturday to win the age division stay in bed, I think not, so we dress, get it together mentally and head out the door. The interesting part of this morning mental game, once we are out the door, we are just running and enjoying the experience. Our bodies have learned from hundreds of past runs, we just put it in automatic if we choose.
Lunch time, treadmill, 4 miles at 8 min pace. Legs a little road weary.

Treadmill, early morning, 8 min. minutes, one potty stop at 2.5 miles. Last mile at 7:20 pace.
Nothing to report - uneventful dreadmill run.
Nooner Run - treadmill - 2.25 miles with 8 x 100 yrd striders at 6:31 pace, 1% incline.
Upper body circuit weights, hamstring ball excercises, gabbing with Joe, Teri and Mann. I don't know if gabbing counts as working out. But, when I am asked the same questions about running almost everyday it seems like a workout to keep responding thoughtfully.
1. Doesn't running outside burn your lungs
2. How far is that marathon anyway.
3. If I ran that far I would die.
I am sure there are many more. But, what is interesting, the same people keep asking me the questions. I try to encourage them to run, give it a try. Positive side, over the years, have converted 4 joggers at work into marathon runners. Once a runner buddy, always a running buddy, cannot have too many running buddies.

Body be Good Miles - Run around the streets of Murray this morning, decided to hit the snow covered trail on the parkway for a couple of miles. Well, biffed it, tripped over a stick in the dark. Caught myself fairly well. Laying on the snowy trail picked up the stick, it had teeth marks. Well, I knew right away who left the stick on the trail, that black lab who runners with his owner always carrying a big stick. Go figure. Another crazy winter running adventure.
Body Be Good Miles - Treadmill, no tree break, right knee a little sore from the biffing on the dog stick. 3.5 miles at 8 min pace.

I like the sound of "track speed mileage" Pre or Gerry Lindgren banking the corners like a race car. I am going to enter my fast quarters in that category just cause it looks good. Did kind of an odd ball workout today, treadmill:
Ran 8 x 1.25 mile repeats with full recovery between each repeat. 1st mile of each repeat was at a 7:55 pace with the last quarter (5th qtr) at a 6 min. mile pace, full recovery and then go again. I know, best to only recover for a minute between quarters. This workout may have not done much except make me feel good about a 6 min. mile pace quarter. Tried to spread a few breadcrums while I ran, they kept flying off the treadmill, good thing I didn't get lost.
I should borrow a wheel when the weather breaks and mark off some distances. My eyesight is not 20/20, even if the Garmin was accurate, I can't see or hear well enough to run a workout aided with my Garmin. The place I like best to quarters / halfs is on a dirt trail. It seems from comments on Warren's blog that the wheel has problems other than flat hard surfaces. (last note about the Garmin, tried to run the St.George marathon with the Garmin last year, turned the darn thing on just before the start, the runner next to me said, hey your battery is low, so much for B of BS Rools high tech.

Body be Good Miles today: Ran with Sylvie and Sammy the first three miles. We have a great bald eagle fly low over our heads, what a sight! We dropped Sammy off at home and ran another 4 miles. Sylvie has had a cold, but, toughed her way thru the run. The next few weeks will be workout races, character builders for the summer races. Really, as everyone else is really, really, ready for the weather to break.
