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: |

one hour spin, off to the Murray Park Centre, swim 26 to 30 laps, lost count, got a free swimming lesson from an sTG Iron Man, real nice guy to take the time. I now have the endurance, need to swim with ease and speed. Hopefully, take a few lessons in the next couple of months.
Nice quite day - no pressure, not chores, just relax for a change. Sylvie cleaned my race room and moved furtniture around, thanks, owe her.

Spin Deseret Palms, 22 miles, converted to cross training. 5.5
Now the fun - my daughter Jenna, Hubby and two grandsons, Bridger and Tristan were down to the STG house for a few days. Jenna has been runnin almost two months since getting a milly, she is up to 1.7 miles at a 12 min mile pace. So, well, we needed to give her a challenge. We took her to West Canyon, branch of Snow Canyon, we run in and down the hilly dirt road for 3 miles, with an avg. pace of 9:45. I would not let her stop, kept a foot ahead of her. Proud of her hanging on, she we so excited she had to buy a running log. It was kinda like the magic of race day, never know what ou can do until you try.
Later that day went on a 3 mile hike with Tristan and his dad, it was fun showing them the red cliffs preserve.

Spin before spin class, class, spin until the next class, waiting for steve the rock star, witout nickel back. The class was awesome as ususal, best spin instructor ever. He is know as the rock star in STG, walks the walk, Stg IronMan, spin instructor at both Summitt and Deseret palms, also heard he works at the biggest loser camp, great motivator, giver of energy.
Jenna, Hubby and the grandsons left for home today.
