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: |

| The slush, mush and wet stuff, sloppy morning of running, somewhat like trail running where your feel slip just a bit with each step. |

| Early morning run, 8 miles, lunch time run with tired legs, 4 miles at 7:50. Not quite my "wish" list marathon pace of 7:30. But, if I were to run a marathon right now, pretty close to marathon pace. |

Interesting morning, average pace on easy runs seems to be getting faster. Smooth cadence today. Hopefully, my increased mileage is starting to pay off. 7 miles
1 mile run at lunch, treadmill, after exercise bike warmup, leg weights.

Decided to make this a long run after the 5 mile warmup, I just did not have it today. Anyway, ran the second half of the race 45 seconds faster than the first half. Good effort to not have anyone pass me after the first mile, not saying much. But it was something mental to try and make the race positive.
Syliva, my wife, was the story of the day. SLC Winter Series for Sylvia:
5K - 8:42 pace
10K - 8:44 pace
15K - 8:46 pace.
When the awards were being given, Syliva was first in her division, the two previous races she was beat and took second. When Sylvia was announced as first, the lady the beat her the other two races was talking to herself, very upset. It was funny. Sylvia has the uncanny ability to hold pace. She ran an 8:48 pace for the St. Georage Marathon last year. |
