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: |

| 6.25 converted cross training swim, swan 44 laps, nice to get back in the pool. Need to hit is hard in the pool the next couple of weeks. 3 hours spinning, 20 mph pace effort on flat, 3 x 90 wall squats, curls, bench press, flys and slant board pull ups. The weather certainly makes it a challenge for a good bike ride |

| Tired legs from big bike and swim workout yesterday, ran 10 miles hoping to somewhat simulate running the half marathon after the bike leg of the STG IM. Avg pace 12 minute miles, I know, slow, do what you can do. 12 min. miles pretty good pace for run/speed walking. I tried some new shoe inserts today, Dr. Scholl Gel pad sport, did not like them. I will stick to the RRS inserts. I cannot decide if I will go out and ride a few miles or just take the rest of the day off. Mind over body, tough to keep the legs going when you dog tired, going to do another dog tired brick next week. |

| Little Brick today, 3 hours spinning, medium hard, and 4 miles with Sylvie and Roxie right after getting of the bike. Surprisingly, my legs felt real good on the run. My conditioning may be coming around. Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out |

| Early morning run, kinda nippy, wind. Went out to the infinite bike shop to pick up my kit. Decided to got to the pool, swam a mile, 18 x 100 yards, 53.33 minutes. My form was breaking down, if I could keep this pace up, should be about 9 minutes under the time cutoff for the STG half IM. Happy with my run and bike training progress, going to focus more on swimming the next couple of weeks, try and shave off a few more minutes and gain some more endurance.
