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: |

Family Shorts: Yesterday was Tristan's 2 week birthday, no party, but, I sure feel like a party everyday being a grandpa.
Shana: Jenna tells me that Shana just loves the baby. Shana planned out the menu for Jenna and Jeremey all week with her mother doing the cooking.
Shanna and Jenna: they have a great bond as sisters, many siblings move apart, I am so proud of them staying close.
I am going to start a college savings program for Tristan real soon, waiting for the SSN. I will do the same for Shana when she has children.
Sylvie - she is great with babies and always neat ideas. I took a papa murphy's pizza, gourmet deluxe, vegetarian to Jenny and Jeremy yesterday, Sylvie's idea.
Well, I am going to start logging sunday as my tales of current and past, a log for my kids and grand kids to read.

Early morning spin ride, arrived early, rode 34 miles, good workout. Well, me and Sylvie have decided to take a rode trip to St.George in two weeks and complete a short duathlon. We have a friend, Diana, who is going down. Run 1.5 miles ride 12 and then run 1.5. Maybe the change in scenery will break up this winter. If you have never rode a bike and then ran, it is a tough transistion.

Early morning spin class, arrived 40 minutes early, rode 2 and 1/2 hours, 55 miles. Good workout.
Odd where you will meet people, this morning while waiting at the door to the fitness center, an older guy, all gray, about 100 pounds over weight and 2 inches shorter than me, starting gabbing and asking me questions. I finally told him a grew up in Magna. Well, it turned out he was in my high school class, have not seem him since high school, 40 years ago. When he told me his name, Terry Wright, he was the rocker boy, always building and setting off toy rockets. Why am I putting this tidbit on the blog?. Terry was 2 inches taller than me in high school, has lost about 4 inches of height. Younger runners, keep working out and out and out.
