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: |

Maiden St.George run - took Roxie, ran up to the trail head going to Snow Canyon Parkway- headed a mile west towards Snow Canyon and turned around. It was a beautiful run. Mine and Sylvie's backs were aching from all the work gettting the home issues taken care of. Just a sample - installed new applicances, measured for 468 sq ft of tile, re-keying, heat pump service, fixes electric breaker box issue, baja cable, St.George Electric service, fixed a gate, storm door, toliet seats, etc. We still love the place, another weekend of work and we should be close to our weekend getaway needing little work - next weekend, tile installed, fix rain gutters, fix door frame, fix fiberglass shower crack, run 5 miles or more each day. By the way, the run along Snow Canyon Prkway was beautiful looking towards Tuacon.

Followed by a moon shadow, moon shawdow, without Cat - very nice morning chasing my shadow as heading north along the trail. The slight tailwind put a slight pep in my step. I sure Andy Williams did not sing moon river with the Jordon river as the backdrop, but, the moon lite shining off the river was a sight for rhym or song.
B of BS think - first time running 3 days in a row for several months, felt ok, maybe this running thing is for me. No matter how many times my feet tread along in the dark quite early morning, never lose the my thanks for such a peaceful adventure. Every run is truely its own adventure. Fat man is after me, it is me, need to lose 8 lbs, darn holidays, starting the trek to stop belly jiggling.

All you need is love, highway to hell, mercy - sounds like a bad love affair - three songs in a row - Millie run today al la T na na -eyes closed - 10 songs long - 3% grade increasing the speed .1 after each song ending at 8:30 mph. - enough of the numbers - Tony and Colleen, long time running buddies - had to stay on as long as they did - peer pressure always works. Tony is training for the buffalo run and Colleen for Spectrum, considering doing one of those races, just for fun, finish before they turn out the lights, fandango.

Easy miles? Hum, - ran in the drizzle rain along the Snow Canyon Parkway - did not have my garmin, ran 30 minutes out and came back, faster on the uphill than the downhill, a minute quicker coming back. It feels kind of strange running in St.George when it is not the marathon. Besides the great red rock back drops, really like dirt trails and able to run along the dirt most of the time when on the asphalt trail.
Condo / House update - (the reason house/condo - it is a stand alone house in a planned community - not hooked to other places) things are coming together, fixed two exterior lights, master shower, hung pictures, drapes, etc. The big kahuna next weekend when we get 468 sq ft of tile layed. Left on the fix up list - fix rain gutters and painting the outside of the stucco house some time later this year.
B Think - don't like handy man stuff - will be glad when playing, raising heck with my working out.
