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 4:45, chilly morning, recovery run. Legs still a bit tired. Reluctantly signed up for a 5k, race for the cure. My step son and his wife wanted us to run with them. The race is usually too crowded and really not a runner's race. If possible, I am going to get as close to the front as possible. |

Treadmill workout, 1 mile warmup at 8:10 pace. 2 miles in a row at 6:44 pace (threshold miles) This pace is based on treadmill conversion chart. Stop and rest, 3/4 mile at 8:10 pace with last quarter mile at 4% incline at 6:50 pace.
Glad to see all my running buddies made it in St. George, two of them signed up for the grand slam just in case. I never thought that when I ran my first St.George in 1982 that this would grow into such a big event with a lottery. Congrads to all the bloggers who got in. Myself and Sylvia are beyond 10 years and get auto-in.

Run at lunch with Colleen, Sheldon, Tony D. and Davey. Colleen and Davey are running the Ogden marathon next week. This is a marathoning bunch. Hot day, everyone had a tough time getting use to the heat, they ran 5 and I stopped and turned around at about 1.5 miles and walkedback part of the way. My right hamstring started giving me trouble. Odd, it has not bothered be for the last two weeks. I am close enough to Ogden hat I will hit the excercies heavy and be careful on any running. The main goal is to get to Ogden.
One note about Colleen, 58 years old, tough as nails, won her division at St. George marathon last year. When we turned into a hot headwind I picked up the pace (BSRools) she was the only one who gve chase. I expect her to win her division at Ogden next week.

Race for the cure today, not really a race, ran the first mile with Sylvia, 7:45, I thought maybe she was going to have her best 5K in the last couple of years. She strruggled on the hills and had a hard time with breathing, ashma. Anyway, tried to run just on the edge with the hamstring issue, picked up the pace for about 100 years at about a 6:45 pace and decided not to keep pushing with the Ogden marathon next saturday. My daughter in-law ran her first 5K today, she was very happy that she did not stop, about 10 minute miles. She has not been a big supporter of her husband, Taylor, running another marathon. Maybe this will lighten up her attitude. Taylor ran with her pushing the baby jogger. She seemed to have fun and seems to be over the anxiety, being self conscious in front of me and Sylvia, and seemed to just enjoy it.
It is difficult to get a proper warmup before a race with relatives show up to run 10 minutes before the race. No warmup or cooldown today. No a good formula for a good race. I mentioned this to Sylvia and she agreed, it may have cost her her best 5K over the last couple of years. I expect we will run more 5Ks and Odgen before we start cranking up for Top of Utah and St. George Marathons.
