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: |

Morning run, full moon, 57 degrees, does not get much better. Legs seem recovered from Saturday long run. Did a couple of short hill repeats.
Lunch time run with Brett and Diana.

Good effort, I thought I was done on the 3rd repeat. I read an article on Mantra's RW, no guts not glory was mine when ready to quit.

| Nice morning run, legs a little tired from yesterday, overall, very nice morning run along the river trail to Gardner village and back home. Changed my route this moring, newscast indicated an escapted inmate from the youth detention center may be along the river parkway a few miles north of my house. Who cares about socks? I changed the type of socks I have been wearing, big difference, more cushioned sock has really helped on leg fatigue. |

Very happy with the race today, best time in the half marathon for two years, not counting the Provo River 1/2.
Mile 2 - 15:02 - Did not log the first mile and the mile was mismarked.
Mile 3 - 7:08
I am not good with the Chrono. But, stuck to race plan. Try and get 6 minutes under 8 minute mile pace by mile 7. Almost right to the second. Gained another 30 seconds the last 6.1. This may seem like an odd race plan, but, I felt I could hold on to 8 minutes miles the last half if I could gain some time on the easy part of the course.
Syliva also won her division as the winner of her divsion placed in Masters.
I am very happy with the 7:29 pace overall considering 3 weeks ago at the Canyonlands 1/2 I was 5 minutes 30 seconds slower.
Sasha likely has a comparison for the two courses on difficulty. I would also wonder if the course was certified given the first mile marker in the wrong place.
Mantra during the race, have some guts. Finished ahead of a runner who beat me at a 15K about for weeks ago by 4 minutes. It seems some of my harder workouts are starting to result in some improvement.
Another running friend, Colleen Southwick, won her division also, tough as nails for her age, she won her division and St.George last year.
I now need to develop a race plan for the Salt Lake Marathon in a couple of weeks.
