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: |

Run by the light of the moon, Snow Canyon Parkway, beautiful view of the moon peaking in and out behind the clouds. Legs tired after the race.

Lunch time run outside, whatahey, ran with Dianamal, shorts, tee shirt - first lunch time run in many months, nice to run with an old running buddy. I started her running marathons 10 years ago, she is now a Tri Geek. Good to talk about old times. I usually don't mention pace, toooo slow, 8:50 pace.

Early morning run, nice morning, a few ice patches on the trail. For a change, seen half a dozen runners, three running 7 min. miles with ease, talking and almost singing. The others, were running at a workmans pace, hoping to reach whatever the goal - written effort in their faces. No singing for me, but, no workman effort, more of a purpose of thougt - leg turnover with the lightest touch possible as my feet met the ground.
Without much of a break, heading to spin class, did two classes back to back and arrived early, 42 good hard hill climbing hours. The spin instructor, build you quads my staying in the saddle when climbing.
B - think -ego - wore my 100th running, Boston marathon jacket today for spinning, only wear it a few times a year. It always promps a few questions and brings some attention. It is not good to boast too much, wearing the jacket is a boast. Maybe my ego needs a jump once in a while, remind myself, that you may have knee running problems, but, effort is not one of them.
