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: |

12 miles spinning, 22.4mph, nothing special - two zone bars - cherry choc. Spin after work, weights.
Sylvie and Roxie were hassled today, out on the run, by a pit bull, no owner in sight. Sylvie hit the dog with a couple of rocks. I am so tired of some dog owners.

Swim like a fish, well, swim like what, no descripton for my swimming, maybe slow and steady, Murray Park Center, 5 a.m., 36 laps, 1 miles, feel like I'm plowing a corn field when swimming, lessons coming.
Next part of the day, truck serviced, bought lovey a valentine day present, a little pricey.
30 miles spinning while watch history, Eygpt - knowledge shall set you free - there is a reason some countries do not want women educated. Hopefully, the power of knowledge, internet, etc, will change the world for the better. 200 rubber band pulls, simulating swimming, 100 ball crunche with 20lb weight.
Summary: a little tired today, not Mountain Goat Pooping, hopefully, long run in the morning.

Park city Nike store, new shoes and new jacket for Sylive, use $75 worth of gift cards, 2 new pair of Levis. Sylvie says a look like a homeless person in my old cargo jeans. Well, now what, new levis, look like who? A rock star or old mexican mountain goat?
After noon start to the run, had planned on running back and forth along the dirt trail, it was too muddy, moved on north not sure of the turnaround point. When I hit 3900 So, bridge over, stopped for a couple seconds, hear comes DC and his daughter up the ramp. Always good to see Demetrio, ran with them for a half mile north and chatted a bit. DC one of the nicest runners ever. Funny thing, after 30 years of running still run into DC like it was 30 years ago. I looked at my garmin, turned around at the 4.6 mile spot and headed back towards home. The new shoes had more cushion, less support, but worked well. I started to get tired towards the 6 mile mark, seen two runners stop ahead of me and walk, went by them and said to myself, do not let them pass me back, I held them off all the way home, good mental effort for me. There were several runners out today, seen no others I knew, most were friendly. I did not high five or hug any of them, I don't have Burt's magnet personality or Karen's sweetness.
Kool, down, did 4 miles on the spin bike, done for the day, baby sitting grandson while his dad is out racing his Lotus at Larry Miller speedway. Chit chat with Bonnie and Sylive on how to break up the legs for the Lake to Lake relay, told them I would take the uphill legs. It seems the women are worried about time, etc. Who cares, just have fun.
