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: |

Woke up early, watched the NFL draft for 3 hours while spinning. Legs were getting a little tired at 2 and 1/2 mark. I need to keep building up the endurance. I hope 24 wins today.

Early morning run, darkness shining by the white clouds, very pretty. No souls or soles to be seen on the run. Really miss those morning runs.
Rode the new carbon bike 16 miles after work, scary, scary fast, great uphill climber and great in the corners. I can now she why so many bikers love biking, kind of like running fast and smooth dowhill, oh what a feeling.

Early morning spinning class - could not sleep, arrived at the class 45 minutes early and spinned before the class started. 34. 5 miles
Now you can't make this stuff up: Lack of sleep, my daughter went to the U of U emergency last night, scary night, first thought she may have a blood clot, then the doctor thought it was an electrolite or calcium problem. She had a very low oxygen level and her hands were numb and crunched up. Still worried, they sent her home.
Anyway, I always thought ER was kind of made up, high drama, maybe not has unreal as I thought. No rooms last night, maybe the swine flu thing, my daughter and three other patients were on beds in the hall way, just like ER, a zoo with nurses and doctors hurrying here and there. My oldest daughter Jenna, was on a guerny, with a drunken guy next to her, the drunk, had bloody stuff on his head and he said that he just got 5 pints of blood, more likely booz, he was suppose to lay flat with the IV and other things stuck in him, he kept raised up like a corspe in a coffin and started talking weird stuff. The nurse would come back and lay him down, he would do it again.

Cookie Chaser - support Girls Scouts buying horses. Fun little run, felt sorry for Diana, the race organizer, the race only had a 1/3 the runners given the rainy weather. Diana (Dianimal) is a triathlete, great running buddy over the last 10 years, hopefully, if the weather holds out, we are going on bike ride in the morning.
I had no expectations for this 5K, knee felt fairly good and limped along at a steady pace. The first half of the race had a couple of short uphills, made up time on these and almost caught Syvlie and Tony. They both put a couple minutes on me on the flat. Mad dash on grass to the finish, just my kind of running, soft on grass.
Good thing about this race, gave me hope that I can continue to run a few races, although slow, still fun to be out there.
After race cooldown - upper body weights, 2 hours on the spinning bike
