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: |

Early morning work for 6 hours. Decided to do a light workout, bench press, curls, side lifts, wall squat, 30 minutes spin bike and 30 minutes Nordic trak.
It is has been a quite boring day, read the first few pages of The secret life of bees, it seems like a chick flick?

Long 12 hour work day, rode the spin bike 30 min and Nordic Trak 30 while reading the secret life of bees, curls, side lifts. Sylvie was gone home teaching, Cameron was painting the pantry, the house is mess. The best thing about painting hte pantry, found great things like Geradaldi brownie mix, Olay bar soap, gus, magic energy drink, etc. that was in the lost world has now came back. The down side, Cameron is out of work right now, so Sylvie is going to have him paint the Master bedroom. We will be in chaos for a couple of weeks.

Stress of work is building, rollout of new accouting system in three weeks and we are behind schedule. Stress is affirmed with me forgetting my dress pants this morning. I now wearing an hodge podge outfit of dress shoes, sweat pants and pullover dress/causual shirt. Hopefully, I can spend most of the day in my office.

Not a running entry - Feb 14th, 2009
Barney Thoughts:
Valentine Day yesterday - Very nice day with Sylvie
Visit with my mother - took my mother 3 roses, Sylvie's idea. She had a biopsy for her breast yesterday. She a small cancer tumor remove about 4 years ago. We will know in a couple of days. My father is 84 years old, likes two things: bitch about everything and old western movies. Often times when visiting with my father, I just leave with he carries on about grudges he holds, bitching about this that and the other thing. A very poingent moment yesterdar. As my dad was bitching about all kinds of things that happened in the past, sometimes 60 years ago, I said stop complianing, everytime he started, I abruptly stopped him. I then went on a chewing him out session, bless and release, forgive the other person and forgive yourself and why waste time on things the mean nothing, enjoy to day. For example, he was bitching about an old friend who did not share deer meat with him on a hunt. Robert died last year. My dad has held grudges is whole life, alienated family, based on crazy stuff he deemed more important than family or friends. Well, I went off on him to the surprise of my sister and mother. My dad constantly says he is going to hell. Well, I said no, god is forgiving and you need to be the same, forgive yourself and those you feel need forgiving.
It was an enlightning momemet for myself. I had held resentment for my father on several things to include swearing, yelling, lying, etc. . Today, I forgave him and myself, and said bless and release. I hope my father gained something form the exchange other than holding a grudge against me.

2 spin classes, nice workout, 40 miles, 2 hours - hamstring ball curls, crunches, 3 min wall squat.
Love is in the air - presented my vegatation to Sylvie this morning - a bulb plant, cannot pronounce the name. She was very happy. I went last night to pickup a valentine card, several men were hovering over the cars, with vegetation in hand, hoping to find the right card that best expresses and put happiness in the heart of the loved one.
Sylive took me to lunch yesterday, I am taking her today. I bought her a rain coat for biking and running.
