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: |

Who in the heck gets up at 4 a.m. to workout, crazy me, upper body circuit weights, 2 hours on the Arc machine before work, 1800 calories burned. The race yesterday gave me a surge, a push, etc. to train harder, lose some lbs. It was inspiring to watch the runners yesterday.

Early morning run, beautiful morning, with the skunk. I had a skunk runnng about 20 yards ahead of me for about 1/4 mile on the trail. Did not get sprayed, but the tail was up. Me and Sylvie got a shoes sprayed a few years ago, it took two weeks for the shoes to set outside and air out.
Home spun - bike 1 hr watching the idol - upper body weights, 100 crunches, ball hamstring curls, stretching.

Knee note - made an appointment to get my knee checked out again, want to ensure I am not doing additional damage by running. I love running, but, love the knee more.

Early morning, spin - oops - I may have the most crowded workout room - 3 bikes, 1 spinning bike, Nordic track, bench press, free weights and TV.
After work bike ride with Sylvie, hurt my pride and skinned a knee, fell over when stopped trying to get out of the clips. Clipout early and often. Rode 20 miles watching a rock concert, American Idol, best Idol ever.

Arc Machine, without Arches, boring workout, no IPOD. Look forward to 4 days off, riding outside.

Well, fun filled day, spin class this morning - 27 miles, swimming lessons with my Tri buddy Diana, 150 meters is a long swim for a non-swimmer. It will take many lessons. I need to work up to 300 meters for a sprint tri next months. Rode 33. 73 miles on my road bike, fell over stopping for dog, small tear in my handle bar taping. What next, going mountain biking with my step son this afternoon. The good weather just brings out the best.

Mountain bikeing adventure - first ride on my Stumpjumper expert, what a fantastic bike. Me and Taylor rode the Quary trail at the mount of little cottonwood canyon, 3.7 miles up with sections of snarly rocks, riding up a creek, going thru mud, weaving thru big rock, awesome ride, not for the faint of heart. Taylor can really crank them on the downhill, had better cardio than him on the uphill. Very good workout, I will count the 3.7 miles, based on all the uphill as half for crosstraining. I am covered with mud, shoes are wet, great fun, we are going again next friday.
