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: |

Spin 60 minutes, Arc trainer 24 minutes - nothing like running to train for running? Hey, crazy statement? I have been cross training, with the anticipation that it would allow me to run on occassion. I found out saturday after 8 miles, 4th run of the year, and then spinning for 90 minutes, my legs were hammered like racing a half marathon. Legs felt fine this morning.
Two a day - 48 minutes spin bike while channel hopping to UNC and MS, and dancing with the stars. Bench press, curls, side lifts, 3 minute wall squat, 110 ball crunches, 1 minute each foot balancing excercise and some stretching.

The beatles, every beatle song, be gone from my IPOD. Sylive reload with over 30 beatle songs. I may be old school, but not stuck in old school.
Spin 42 minutes, Arc trainer 30 minutes. Limited energy for some reason this morning. Hopefully do a better workout later in the day.

Spin class, 30 miles, good effort.
Spin bike after work, 20 miles, bench press, curls, 100 crunches, side lifts. I am kind of in a funk right now, still training, but, lack that real spark of motivation. I need some new goals.

Nevels - great quote
Running short moments that take your breath away:
West Jordaon Stampede 5k - 4th of July race - several years ago, hot race 90 plus degrees. I really wanted to break 20 minutes, thought I was in shape. Went out like a bat out of heck and was on pace to break 20 minutes, with 1/2 mile left to go, "took my breath away, starting hyper ventilating and walked for 15 yards, starting running again and missed breaking 20 by 2 seconds. I was so darn upset, waited for the awards to end, everyone to leave the park and ran the race course again, ran it in exactly the same time 20:02, but, did not take my breath away. Anyway, several other races where I have done simliar "take your breath away moments".
Why this running short, read Nevels quote of the day. You never forget these moments.

Early morning run, north to 4100 south and home, passed a few runners, a few dog walkers and a few bikers. It was nice to get out and run in the morning.
Rode my bike with Sylive while she ran. Sylvie ran 8 miles, looking strong.
