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: |

Nothing exciting, going to Dixie Palms this weekend, son-wife and grandson coming down for the weekend, should be fun, hope to run 10 miles in west canyon on friday and two hour spin.

Worry, Worry, Worry, - missed my run this morning, worried about work stuff, was going to skip the day, felt so darn guilty - flabby, lazy - etc. Went to the work gym, bike 12 miles at a 23.11 mph pace, good hard effort, with tired legs, hopped on Milly, ran 3 miles in 25:11 minutes at a 3% grade, speedwork in disguise. Speed work, have done none in two years, ran the last half lap at a 6 min mile pace, felt good to run faster again. I am going to make it part of every Milly run, more leg speed.

Early morning spinning at Deseret Palms, 1 hr, 51 minutes, converted to 9 miles cross training. Good class, limited fun.
The real fun came later on the run
Rox, really wanted to go running, we took her for 2.1 mile warmup run, we then headed off to West Canyon of Snow Canyon. Dark of the night runners hear things go bump in the night, today was bump in the lite of day. West Canyon is red rock hard pretty, special, and super spooky at the same time. We hit the trail, after the first mile, stopped to watch a golden eagle glide along the canyon wall like a sentinel spirit watching sacred ground. The run continued, not another sole or soul in sight, we climbed hard to the top, 4 mile turnaround, held my own on the uphill with Sylive. We stood and watched our conquer of the top, like a mountain climber on K-2, only for a moment, then move back down the trail to safety of the start. The trek down, lagged way behind Syvlie, knees were yelling. As we moved down the canyon, our foot falls echoed off the canyon walls like ancient runners of long ago were running along behind to ensure we left this trail. West canyon is spooky, maybe that is why we see few runners.

We had a great weekend hiking the petrified sand dunes with my step son, his wife and son.
