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: |

Nordic trak 30 minutes, spin 90 minutes, 100 ball crunches, stretching. Does anyone not like watermelon? Bought a melon at Sam's club today, was bad, took it back and got double back? Heck of a deal, would rather have the melon, great for a diet.
Training note, time to ramp up the training, goal 60 cross training miles this week, then 70, an hold between 60 and 70.

Well, be careful what you ask for, I now have two new du rags from my step son. I am going to have some fun with this, do rag will be part of my runnig attire for the SL Half.

| Early moring run, dark - days gone by - it was so nice to get out in the dark, light misty snow falling. To my surprise, several runner running in the dark, must be last long run for SL or Ogden. The first half of the run went fairly well, the last half was harder and harder. This was my longest run since St. George. Days gone by - for years, running long runs on the parkway during the winter I would pass a guy, Japense decent. He was always wearing bright BYU blue color running tights. After several years of passing him and saying hi, we met at the Provo River half marathon and chatted for a while. Today, I seen him again, he stopped and asked me where I have been. Funny how you see the same runners for years. He is an intersting runner, loves to run in the winter and do a long run every weekend, today, a 23 miler. But, he does not like long runs in the summer and has not run St. George because of the heat. I told him, hey you missed the perfect year at St.George. Spin class 24.66 miles, good hard effort after running this morning. As I walked in the spin class, a little late, handed the instructor my pass, she said: I will need another pass from you, you always work twice as hard. Nice of her to say that.
