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 run, avg. 8:25 pace, felt better than expected after the 10K race yesterday. The last four miles were into a headwind with rain coming down. I was glad for the hat. Passed, SLC Track club members: Jency, Karen and Olaf on the run today. It seems the conditioning is coming back. The last attempt at a long run was a real struggle at 14 miles.

Early morning run, running at 4:45 in the morning is most mornings uneventful. But, some mornings are different. Today was different. About two miles into the run, 2 men on the trail each had a pit bull on a leash, they both were dressed in dark clothes. I ran thru the middle of them and kept going. Odd, odd. On the way back from my run, the same two men were headed the other way. This time one of them was now pushing a bike. Hum, it seems that they acquired a bike in the dark. I always carry pepper spray in the morning. I have never used it. But, as the population and use of the trail increases, there seems to be more odd activity.
10 minutes excercise bike and then 4 miles on the treadmill at an 8:10 pace.

Easy mile warmup, 8:20 pace, repeats with full recovery between. Great effort. Treadmill workout with times based on treadmill conversion chart 1%.
2 x 1/4 mile @ 93 seconds
1/2 mile @ 186 seconds
8 x 1/4 mile @ 93 seconds
This workout may not be much for fast bloggers, but, for 56, I'm hoping ot keep these workouts up. Next week, shorten the recovery time, maybe slow down to an 8:30 pace for a quarter between repeats. I was quite happy with the effort given my recent race times.

Nice morning, kind of a slow and easy run after speedwork yesterday. It seems a storm is coming in, it was nice to run ahead of the storm, 42 degees, no wind, nice morning. I can hardly imagine I don't seem more runners on a morning like this. Mind over matter, my mind still thinks I can breack 3 hours in the marathon again, not likely at my age, but, those thoughts help me keep motivated.

First 4 miles with our dog Sammy, me and Sylvia then ran another 6. Nice day, quite a few runners along the trail that appeared to be on a long run. Legs somewhat dead. The biggest mileage week since last August, 62 miles. Anyway, may take a day off tomorrow.
