B of BS Rools Recent Reading List - In order of recommended reads.

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: |

| Early morning run, easy first couple of miles, then 5 miles at 7:45 pace, last three miles 8:05 pace. My allergies have been bad the last few days, took Clariton D yesterday, helped quite a bit. I hope to get it back together by saturday. I really need hill work from all the reading I have been doing. After the marathon this saturday and recovery, I only have one 5K over the next month, plan on really hitting the hills. |

Tough day, fighting alergies and a cold the last ten days. No energy in my legs all week. I decided just to get thru the race, warmed up much more than usual because of the hamstring problem at SLC marathon. Good news, no hamstring issues for the day. Bad news, no energy. Ran a 1:47 first half and was done at mile 12. I ate 14 gu's on the course, Lava salts, etc. still no energy. Tough day. Anyway, Syliva placed second in her division at the half marathon, another outstanding effort. I have not had a decent marathon since last year's Ogden. I wondering what I can change. I seem to doing fine at the 5ks up to the half marathon for my age. I would not blame my day on the heat, I ran grandma's marathon when it was much hotter with humidity much better than today.
Some running soul searching, researching and maybe a coach is in order to change my training. I have TOU and St. George to get ready for.
*Note, I ran with an IPOD for the first time and last time. I find that I really enjoy listening to what is going on around me with some chatting with other runners. I ran with John Watson's daughter for a few miles. He was a great runner from Idaho in his day, passed away at 52. She talked about him for miles about how he was an inspiriation, stories of his training. She started crying while she was running. Runners are people too.
Running friend of mine, Brett and my wife Syliva, both said, almost like it was rehearsed, "its about time" when I crossed the finish line.
Congradulations to all the bloggers who ran the half and Marathon, some great efforts and PRS.
