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: |

Spinning wheels, 21.10 miles in 60 minutes, good effort, likely spin class tonight. Nothing exciting about spinning, no one to chase up ahead, no dogs nipping at your feet, no bugs on your teeth, no sun burns, no flat tires and no red rock cliffs. Why do we run outside? Nature
Spin class with Sylvie - good hill effort - 20 miles

Nice morning for a run, easy does it, a few hot spots, slower than slow today, stopped three times to stretch. The run along the river today was very nice, bright morning with the smog/cloud cover. I have ran this route several hundred times over the years, never get tired of the trek.

B-thinks - let it be, oh, let it be - something said - let it be - stiring ashes can bring a fire out of control - wisdom, another word for let it be, with the beatles - applies to so many situtations.

Brick day - 33 miles spinning - 5 a.m. - with instructer for 45 minutes early - packed class today for some reason? Ran along the parkway north 4 miles and back home, 8 total, ran about half the run on the dirt side of the trail. Always nice to give the knee a rest. Also, did a few short pickups, practiced chi running. The Jordan river was high and weirder than usual green color. Seen 3 runners going both ways, and another runner, don't know his name, but, we stop and talk a few moments every time we meet each other on the trail. This has been going on for years. He is one of those hardcore, run any weather or time.
The day was dreary, are we dancers?

Spinning wheels - arrived early, two spinning classes, last hard spin until race next saturday. 53 miles, converted to 13.25 miles cross training. Knee feels good today, tempted to run, likely run tomorrow.
B-think - I read a comment on a blog, won't mention the blog - running accompishments - "nothing noteworthy" Now, if we never run a race, are we still a runner? Yes - I almost mentioned, put "I am a Runner - love running - " as running accomplishments. We are sometimes so set on PRs, races, etc. we do not give enough credit to running for the love of running. Have you noticed, race reports are in the order of finish time on the blog, this seems to encourage more accolades for the fastest. We have age division runners, runners with injuries, phsyical limitations, etc. Does the fastest runner deserve more attention? Good question?
