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: |

Two hours spinning -
Sad Day, tough day, many tears - our best friend, Sammy, our standard poodle passed away last night. It was tough when I found her this morning and broke the news to Sylvie. Happy thoughts about Sammy:
Sweetest "daog" ever
Great running partner for the last seven years, several hundred runs
360s, when she was excited, turned 360s like like crazy
Loved to play with our grand kids
Could give high fives with both paws
Loved to go for walks on the parkway, we took her on a walk yesterday
Great snow running, loved running in the snow, my favorite run this last winter is a 5 mile snow run with her in 6 inches of snow.

| Kool morning ride, flooded parts of the parkway, decided to ride through the water, not a good idea. The water as a foot deep in places and darn Kold. After about a dozen water crossings, reached 21st south, flooded parkway under the freeway, turned around and headed home. Spin 1 hours, lifted free weights, 100 crunches and called it good. I feel lazy today. Stay Kool, Hu Rah, B of BS Rools out |

Early morning run, running fairly well, got a right calf strain, cramp, wow, had to cut the run short and walk home the last mile. Feels somewhat better after stretching and a spin class. Sylvie went with me to spin, getting ready for a duathlon in two weeks. Kelly, the spin instructor is a biking nut, has done LoDaJay 4 times, just rode the Iron horse in Durango. I am meeting him at 5 a.m. on friday to spin 1 hour and 15 minutes before the class starts. Maybe I not not getting enough salt? I may take electrolytes the next few days. Still sad, not yet glad. It is too early to think about another dog, we sure miss Sammy.

Spinning 1 hour - went the the doc, had an HA shot in the right knee. I will get the same shot for the left knee in a couple of months. This is a series of three shots once a week. The theory, encourages the body to produce more HA and preserve the cartlildge. There is enough medical support that the insurance company pays. Had my knees X-Ray - no change in the last year.

*Note, the doctor is a tri-athlete, she says I will love it? The swimming part, not so much.

Brick day = swimming 750 meters and riding 41 miles. The swimming was darn tough, the bike ride was a breeze. Convert to 15 miles cross training. My tri-coach stood me up this morning and did not return my phone calls? Well, maybe she is tired of coaching a newbie.

Passing, always great to pass another runner, and not get passed back, passed a lady and gent from my spin class, 27mph for about a mile to catch and pass them. Always Kool to pass.

Early morning spin 1 hour, 8 miles on the bike waiting for Sylvie to run, road 6 miles with Sylvia, we then went to the start of the summit duathlon, Kamas and rode the bike course up Mirror lake highway 6 miles and back down the beautiful course. The bike course is not too steep, the question, will they have traffic on the road during the race.
