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: |

Run with Sylvie and Roxie along STG Blvd and home, Roxie loves these runs, 6 miles. Roxie want to stop, did not want her to stop, well nature called, she stopped, had to cleanup poop off the trail. Went to the condo hot tub and pool after, worked on my stroke for 20 lengths, still, just don't get it. I am getting better at breathing and catching water, cannot get balanced in the water, dragging my legs.

Spin 40 miles, good solid effort, avg pace, 21 mph. 2 x Bench press, 2 x curls, 150 abdominal ball crunches with pullover weights, flys, pulls. I really don't enjoy this workout, but, know it needs to be done.

Crazy alarm day - darn power went off last night, the alarm went off, hurried to work, no one in the parking lot, arrived at 4 a.m, whatahey, the power went out last night, darn fancy alarm reset itself wrong. Dr visit, nuke a couple of pre cancer skin spots, everything ok.
Back to business, rode the bike outside for 26 miles along the JRP trail, had fun passing all the bikers, a couple tried to hang on, smoked them. Biking gets boring, trying to make a game of it. Hope to run in the morning if the alarm clock does its job. 200 ball crunches overhead dumbells.
Old times - looking through a couple old boxes at work, found a framed running memory my training buddies gave me back in 1997 after the St. George marathon (Diana, Bruce and Brett)
WARM HANDS COLD HEART AWARD
This is to certify that on October 4, 1997 Brent L. Barney completed the St. George marathon in record time. Brent finished first place in the BLACK GLOVE category never letting sweaty hands interfere with his quest to realize his goal.
Why is this funny - it was the hottest St.George, out of 17 ran, 97 degrees at the finish, I wore black gloves the entire race, got into a zone, like no other zone, fighting heat and fatigue, Ran a 3:08 in terrible conditions, darn, as many runners would say, may have had a shot at sub 3 hour if the weather was 30 degrees cooler. Another day at the races and another day of what ifs - This is the first St.George that Sylvie ran with me, one week after getting married. The framed momento will be hung in a good spot with other memories of good times. As we all know, remember little about PRs, remember the running buddies and the effort.

| Crazy, crazy, - when you go to bed a 9.m. every night, running a midnite 5K is not a wise idea. The race was fun, glow sticks, big crowd, etc. I was so darn tired when the race stared, B and S lined up towards the front, Slyvie took off like shot, my legs would not move, pumped my arms like crazy to get my legs going. The course was ran in mud, well, just for me. The first half was dreadful, an old lady in a walker passed me like I was standing still. The second half, blowing head winds, a short hill, started feeling better, ran fairly well the second half an sprinted to beat another old Please follow Fast Running Blog policy regarding vulgar language
Post Race - Sylvie ran a very good race in the wind, hill, ran a 26 something. They handed out cards with your place and time. Slyvie won her division and I was third her division, we would look good together on the podium. ha ha, race mixup, but, was funny. As we were waiting for them to call Sylvie's division, they called out the Women's Master winner, 40 and over, it was Sylvie, she was so excited, jumping up and down, yelling, I was cheering like crazy. She was so happy "I am so glad you signed me up for this race". It as very cute, the award was a very nice plaque. When they got to the women's 55=59, darn, they realized I was no female, took my award, darn, the goatee have me away. Don't know how I did in my real division, does not matter, tired of glow sticks, glow sticks were the awards.

What a great day for ride, rode from the house, up to the top of snow Canyon, down the canyon, over to Ivins, up through Kayenta to I-91, rode with a guy for a few miles, very good biker from NY, he was upset about all the wind, was on a 100 mile ride. Rode back the lava road and home, learned a couple of tricks on the bike going downhill and back up, and position in the wind (curtesy of the NY biker) .
