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 Miles - 3 hours of cross training, on nordic cross country, old wood ski track and ropes on a handle. Although, went many more than 12 miles, my standard coversion is 4 miles per hour. Hopefully, this equates to running miles. I ordered the scrapper, after Josse's treatment, has not arrived yet. All the leg excercises seem to be making the knee more stable. Sylvie, bless her heart, bought a core thing called the firm, you stand on it one legged and balance. This seems to really be helping the supporting tendons, muscles, etc.
Lesson learned - hopefully, when I get back to running, never ignore the supporting excercises, no matter if I am up until midnight doing them. I do not have pain, just soreness on the inside of the knee. It does not appear to be a sprain, more classic runner's knee. Ramble, ramble.
Observation, it is so much fun reading the race reports, I want to be in the race too. It is a great thing, all the joy that is felt on blog when anothr blogger does well. Pretty darn Kool.
Anyway, off to the zoo with the grand kids. I am not really big on the zoo.

Water Boy - 90 minutes of acqua jogging this morning, the water felt nice. Bought a used mountain bike yesterday. Get a tuneup, and get out there cross training. The only way I will not lose too much conditioning, cross train like an animal.
Ski Machine - 30 minutes after work.

Some effort - slacker - 30 minutes on exercise bike today, easy one minute, 30 seconds fast, etc. etc. etc. I got on the treadmill for about ten strides, not ready to run yet, give it time.
Got the scrapper in the mail today, read the instructions, attempted to remember Josse's comments, and did the scrapping. Funny thing, had some immediate relief. Sylvie is upstrairs trying it on her achillies. (darn, my spelling needs help)

Body of Water - Acqua jog today, 1 hour. Knee seems better today, hardly no limp. The scrapping seems to be helping. I am signed up for the SL half marathon on saturday. I am going to switch to the bike tour if possible. I now have a used mountain bike fixed up and ready to ride. I may be the slowest, don't care, just give the legs a good hard workout for the 26.2 biking miles.
Spinning Wheels - 20 minutes excercise bike.

Spinning Wheels - Exercise bike 1 hour. 20 miles per hour pace. Shakey, thinking about the 6 a.m. start in the dark for the bike tour in the morning. I have not ridden a bike that actually moves for about two years. Although my bike is used, it is new to me. I wonder where I could get some big training wheels real quick.
Blogger note, I am taking my camera and will try and get some pictures of bloggers finishinng the races.

Salt Lake Bike Tour - 24.5 miles of the marathon course. Trak train was late 20 minutes to the start, the bikes were gone. Headed off like "Benn's" crazy rider, no camo. Funny thing, first time I have rode a bike for two years and first time on this bike. This darn old Cannondale mountain bike (1994) rocked. I was crusing to a positive road kill of 94 bikers after giving them a 15 minute head start. Very happy with the effort and cranking out those miles like nothing. My butt was the only objector. I had a time limit of 1 hr 45 minutes reduced to 90 minutes. I was the last rider to not get diverted off the course towards the end to make room for the 5k runners.
Race Watching, much like bird watching - wait and wait - 5K - Running buddy Harry won his division in the 5K, cool for him, John won my division as usual.
Half marathon - 1:06 something for the winner, outstanding time with gusting head winds on the way out. Sylvie beat her striders time by 2 minutes. I think she placed, we did not stick around for the results.
Marathon - First 4 runners, either Kenyan or Ethiopian, I think, who knows, could be US runners. Sasha, I think 6th with Kory and Holt in the top 10. I could be a couple of places off. No pictures - camera did not cooperate. I cheered them all on, they were all in a zone. *Note, this was a tough day for running with the gusting head wind at times and the side winds while on Van Winkle. I am sure to was gut wrenching for many marathoners.
Knee - no aggravation from the ride.
