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: |

Arc machine tempo workout, 1 hour - PR for 1017 calories burned. 12 minutes cool down on the spin bike. Avg HR 151
5k wake up on saturday, I need tempo type workouts at least twice weekly. I want to set my bum knee PR for the 5K, like to be under 9 minute miles either at Ogden 5k or Art Attack. It seems silly to think 9 minutes miles could be a PR, my real 5k PR is under 6 minute miles.
This reminds of Myron (Navy buddy), since passed away, when he found out he had MS, he said, if your given a lemon, make lemonade. Thinking of this always brings me back to a peaceful place when I get down about my running situation.

Spinning, like crazy, 21.23 miles in 1 hour. Legs feel good, the best the knee has felt in the last year. Hopefully, run in the morning.

Ran with the early morning moon light, without Cat. The orangesh moon setting over the Oquirhs was a beautiful start to this 4 a.m. morning run. Some running days are just better than others. I have ran this same route several hundred times over the years. I first ran this route when two miles of the trail was dirt, I like the dirt better. Now the trail is fully paved and loaded with walkers, talkers, bikers and runners after first light.
Back to the run, not another sole or soul seen during the run. The only sign that I was not running in my dreams were birds calling as I went by. Often wonder, what are these birds saying, danger, danger, runner is coming. Who knows, but, birds seem to really chatter during the nesting season.
Nice to run in shorts and feel the cool morning air.

Spinning wheels - arrived at the spin class 45 min. early - no American Idol for me, singing with the IPOD, waiting for the other spinners, a lady shows up, I say hi, a few moments later I started singing with the music again, forgetting she was there. Well, after a couple minutes, realized she was laughing at my singing. I should not sing, the shower shuts off if I start singing. Nice 39 miles on the spinner today with a good effort.

Time in the saddle, gettee up - Rode 50 miles on the new bike, and then rode 8 miles with Sylvie while she ran. I have a sun burn face and a tired behind. It seems the hard part about riding, the rear end and the hunch over position. It was fun to get out on a beautiful day.
