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: |

Running times, Buffer, article workout. Warmed up 1 mile, ran 1/4 at 6 min mile pace - no rest slowed down to 5K race pace for 1/4 at 6:48 pace, rested, and completed 2 more of the same with a 1/2 mile cooldown. Interesting workout, I did not think that after running the 1/4 that I could slow down at run 5K race pace. Running faster and slowing down seemed to make the 5K race pace not as hard as expected.
Plan running increasing these by 1 set each week until reaching 12 sets during the workout.
Also, hill repeats planned on Friday, start with three reps at 5K race pace effort and build from there.
I think these old legs still have a sub 20 minute 5K if I can do the right training.

| 3.1 time trial 5K - 22:45 (1%) grade) - Good effort, rest, then 1 mile at 8:20 pace with 4.5% grade (hill), 1 mile easy. Then Tony Dearcos and Diana showed, up quick change to outside running gear, ran 4 easy miles with them. Tony is one of these ultra marathon trail people, his running stories are of mud, guts, and lonely hours on the mountain. |

| Easy run with Sylvia and Sammy (Dog). Sammy loves to run, took her three miles and then dropped her off at home. Me and Syliva ran another 4 miles. Sylvia did not feel good, fighting a cold. Anyway, longer run in the morning. Hope to run 16 or 17. |
