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: |

| Arc Hachine 75 minutes, good workout, remix mercy with Duffy. Could not survive these gym workouts without the tunes. Diets and Yoga are not for sissies. I always thought that I could out run any diet. Well, the diet has caught me, calorie counting, goal weight 153, giving myself two months. Second workout, spin class with Sylvie, 23 miles, converted to 5.75 cross training miles. The legs were a little hammered from this morning. It will take few weeks to adjust to two a days. The game is on Garth, goal 9 minutes miles for the Ogden marathon 5k. Stay Kool, don't think food, B of BS Rools out |

Runner at heart - this morning - the spinning instructor, Celestia, hey Brent, my name was drawn to run the Ogden marathon. My reaction was great, congradulations, big smile. She said, wow, you are more excited for me and I am. Others is the class, not runners, did not share in the excitement. Celeste has ran the Salt lake marathon a couple of times. But, she is a real runner and has talent if she chooses to apply that talent to training.
Back to the workout, rode 36 miles in 1 hr 45 min. Good workout.
Personal note, my mothers surgery for cancel went well today. Spent 6 hours at the hospital with family. I then came home mentally exhausted and slept for two hours. The doctor said, she will not die of cancer, it will be something else. The doctor then pointed out my mother's other health problems. Anyway, good news, try and get my mother to change a few things about her life style.

| Woke up the sounds of a shaking dog, Sammy. It is her signal that she needs to go outside for doo doo business. I decided to stay up and spin for an hour, spinning bike in the basement, before going to the spin class. Spin class was good workout, got there early, one the instructers also was early, spin a total of 56 miles. When I got home from spinning Sylvie was waiting for me, road another 10 with Sylvie while she ran and served as her sag wagon. SLC running company was doing a training run for the SL marathon, counted about 50 runners on the parkway. Note, I am signed up for the SL Half, plan on running. I need a couple of 4 hour workouts in the next two weeks. Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out |
