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: |

Arch for 5 miles while listening to the 70's. Yesterday was Alex's birthday. Alex is unique, tatoo aritist, vegan, loves guns and fast cars. Go figure, the combination just does not seem to add up at time. Great step son. He has two cute kids - Tiger Lily and Alez Jr. Our house is not becoming a zoo when family comes over, kids running all over, Sammy (our dog) chasing them, very fun.
Spin class with Sylvie - fun class, Sylive brought her plaque from the race last saturday, it was fun talking about the race. Another guy in the class did the race last year.

Upper body weights, circuit - getting stronger - 30 minutes bike and 30 minutes Arc Machine, will likely workout another hour after work.
Running Shorts: I have two step sons who have ran the St.George marathon, both vying to beat me next time. We are signing up for a Soldier Hollow mountain bike and run in June, they will both get their shot to take me out. It should me fun.

Arc Machine 60 minutes, 2 minute wall squat. My grandson is now 10lbs 3 oz. so exciting. Ramble on - I hope to get in 90 minutes spinning in the morning.
Slyvie is have dental work, implants, so, I will be at the waiting room for a couple of hours. They should have excercise equipment at the dentist, we may go more often? Na.
I am on the verge of another quest, a road bike. Sylvie's brother is finding her a frame, he is a swapper, buyer, collecter, sellor, etc. and finds great buys. Slyvie wants to build her own bike.
The diet did not go so well today, free pizza gets me everytime. Two days in a row, yesterday, my supporting crew bought pizza lunch for our last cutover meeting before the new accounting system rollout this weekend. I will be working all weekend. Today we had pizza lunch celebrating the testing crew's great job. As the leader, gave my pep talk, thanks and great things ahead. There are days, I would rather blend into the crowd, like at a big marathon, lost in your own running world, pondering every step as the miles melt away.

Early morning spin class, arrived 45 minutes early, 31.22 miles. Much chatter about the 100 mile ride in St.George last weekend. My mind has not adjusted to chatter about biking, I am a runner at heart.

Upper body weights - spin 30 minutes - for runners - we are not known for upper body? Bench press 135 lbs, 12 reps. This may be my max as I don't want too much upper body bulk.
