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: |

Body Be Good Miles - Nice to run with no ice and warmer temps. No problems from the race yesterday, just a little recovery today. Ran with Rob and Gil for 3 miles (they were running 18) and then the rest on my own. I am trying to decide what workout to do on tuesday, blacksheep or do a 5 or 6 mile tempo on my own, leaning towards the hill repeats around sugarhouse park with blacksheep, need the hill work.

Body Be Good Miles, nice morning for a run, is there ever a bad morning for a run?, heck no. Nice comments on the race from several bloggers, thanks for the support. My top running partner, S of BS, is having sciatica type problems, tough weekend.

By the way, caught two young boys, taggers, with spray cans this morning and scared them off. It looked like they were getting ready to tag the trail underpass at 4800 so. They likely did not expect anyone at 4:45 to be on the parkway.
Lunch time run, the enforcer, 3 easy miles looking for trouble makers on treadmills.

Body Be Good Miles - what a nice morning to run, took the trail south today, first time going south 5 miles since last November. The darn trail just has not been good for running with the snow and ice. If I had time, would have added a few more miles. My legs were not tired today, means, I did not run the hills hard enough yesterday, will make adjustments next week.
After work 2 miles, wore my lead shoes.

Hey, hey, hey, its a yucky day. Well, one step outside, the air tasted like Geneva Steel. The treadmill and IPOD were my running buddies today. The run started out pretty shakey with quads feeling it from the hills on tuesday. Legs finally started coming around after 6 or 7 miles. 8 minute miles for 9 miles with the last mile at 7 min mile. I am taking Vanilla Ice off and my ipod, tired of that darn song. Willey Nelson is also getting trashed.

Changed my mind, was not going to call this a race, pin on a number, it is a race, Ran the Striders 10K today, It was a good rac today with great weather. Ran the first half about 22 minute 5k, not on my game today (legs beat up from the 15K last week and hill work), effort is what counts. The second half was kind of a grinder up the hills. The toughest hill, seemed like a mile long with a steep grade most of the way, passed about 20 runners this mile and had one pass me back before the finish. Considering how trashed my legs were before the race, happy with the effort. Me and Sylvie are getting a massage today, 20 miles tomorrow, hills on tuesday and then taper for Moab next saturday.
By the way, met Dee today as he passed me after we crested the first big hill, he looked strong today.
Congrads to FRB, they kicked butt today at the striders 10K.
