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: |

Tuacon - practice Duathlon workout - my workout partner Sylvie - we arrived at the gym just in time to run on the treadmill and go right to the spin class - ran 1.7 miles at 3% grade, 8:15 pace, good hard effort - Sylvie ran 1.5 doing pickups - hopped off the Millies and ran over to the Spin class, the class was warming up - rode hard simulating the bike portion - hopped off the spin bike when the class started cool down - ran 15 laps around the indoor track, 10 laps to the mile - it was fun running with Sylvie, she got me on one pickup and I got her on the last lap. Normally, never run on such a surface in circles, too much pressure on the knee, the knee did not bother me today - good thing. We were both very happy with the workout, our legs are ready.

Spin - 22.38 miles in 1 hour, good effort - first 30 minutes road hard at 12 resistance avg pace 22.11 mph, lowered the resistance to 11, avg pace 22.27 - what this says: more resistance is not always faster. Also, legs were also somewhat fatigued from the first 30 minutes. I am going to try higher cadence with 10 resistance later this week. Why is this important - in Tris or duathlons - want the most efficiency from the bike and save legs for the run.

Dark side of the moon this morning - absent be the moon, snow flakes, runners, walkers and noises in the dark. Very uneventful morning of running, almost a sleep walking run. I won no imaginary races this morning.
Almost out of the funk - spinning - crashed the first spin class in the middle, Tina, instructor gave me the go ahead any time, just keep it on the down low. Rode hard for 90 minutes thru the second class, 31.15 miles. Nice people in the class, two or three always ask me how many miles? What are you training for? I wonder why? Feel like rock start with groopies? Hum, Kelly started this with giving kudos for marathons, 100 bike rides, etc. to the class. I would just as soon set at the back and spin in anonimity like any upstanding workout junkie.

5 a.m run, Snow Canyon Prkway - dark as heck going west towards Tuacon, almost ran head on into a couple of runners wearing all black. Nice morning run, as a I headed back east the moon had a crooked smile for me, saying, hum, you are back to running with me again.

Run with Sylvie, we run up West Canyon in Snow Canyon Park, 4 miles up a nicely parked dirt run with rolling heads up to the end of the 4 miles. Very nice run on red dirt. Sylvie ran great and gave me a good workout. Later that day, rode bike, from the condo to the top of snow canyon, good workout, 30 miles.
*Note, we are going to do this 8 mile snow canyon run when in St.George, very good run for my knee on dirt and good for Sylive to practive up hill, love St.George

Snow Canyon, up west canyon again along the dirt road with Sylive, legs somewhat fatigued from yesterday. Sylvie was a trooper doing back to back after not running much for three months, very nice day. We had mom, dad and two kids pass us on the way up - the mom told her kids, look at the muscles on those runners, that is why they run everywhere, funny. They beat us to the top on mountain bikes by a few minutes.
Money Pit - fixup project - got the tile done, now the toilet leaks - this is becoming a project.
