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: |

| Nice run south and home along the parkway. Not many runners run south, because it is kind of isolated. It doesn't both me. It seems I have recovered from Odgen, start planning some speed work. |

Fartlek day today for me and Sylvia. We took Sammy, the dog, the first 2 and 1/4 miles: Estimated workout, no mileage markers:
1/2 mile warmup, easy
1/4 mile up a long hill, 6 min mile effort, approx. 6:30 pace, Sylvia, 7:15 pace, our legs really felt tired after the first one.
run easy for a while
1/4 mile, 6 min pace, Sylvia 1/8 mile at 7 min pace - over a rolling hill
run easy for a while
1/8 mile, 6 min pace, Sylvia 1/8 at 7 min pace - on dirt along the river
run easy for a while
200 yards at 6 min pace, Slyvia 100 yrds at 7 min pace - on dirt along the river
1/10 mile a 6 min pace, Slyva at 7:30 pace
1/8 up a gradual hill on paved trail, 6 min effort - 6:30 pace, Sylvia 8 min mile
1/10 over rolling hill, on paved trail, 6:30 effort - Sylvia, 7:30 pace
1/4 mile at 6 min pace, dirt trail, Sylvia, 7:30 effort
Overall, happy with the workout, after the first tough hill, managed the fartlek effort very well. The Garmins I ordered should help to be exact on distance and pace.
It is hard to figure the miles at threshold, may be a little more than estimated, estimated on the short side. Sylvia was a trooper on this workout and hung with me for the first 50 yards on most of the fartlek pickups, it was fun and tough.

Early morning run along the parkway north and back home, 8 miles. My legs felt ok after yesterday, tired the last 1/2 mile. Beautiful morning along the river, on the way home the birds start to sing and the sun breaks day.
Lunch time short run, treadmill, 7:55 pace for 3 miles. |

Early morning run, almost did not get out of bed. Upper quads a little sore, ran easy the first few miles. I saw a runner in front of me and decided to catch him. Ran him down, then saw a running couple ahead me. Decided to chase them down also. The couple I had seen on the parkway a couple of days ago stretching and getting ready to race, it seemed. I mentioned to them a couple of days ago that I would say go when they were ready to begin the race. When I passed them today they both commented that I had won the race. The pace was approximaltey a 7 min mile for the 1.75 miles. Not fast, but, I know that I am getting in better shape when I can pick it up to chase runners when I have tired legs. I will be glad when I get the Garmin and know the pace for sure.
Lunch time, circuit weights, upper and lower body. No leg extensions, they seem to bother my knees. May go for a run after work.
Evening run, 3 miles along the parkway among the dogs, bikes, kids, walkers, roll bladers, etc. Legs a little tired, trying to up my mileage to 60 for the next few weeks.
Crazy, note, I have wore thick glasses for 40 years, hard contact lens requiring reading glassess for 17 years. Now, finally find out technology has caught up to my eye sight, it looks like my vision can be corrected to 20/25 for about $4,000. Flex plan next year.

Easy, run to Gardner Village. First run with the Garmin. I have not programmed it or done anything yet. During the run I go under to under 3 under passes. This seems to goof up the mileage as the connection is lost and takes about 30 seconds to connect after coming out. But, the Garmin should be great for speed workouts as long as I do not have one of my laps go under the underpass. Play with the toy tonight.
Lunch time run with Rob (tri-geek), Diane (tri-geek), Tony (trail runner), Sheldon (regular runner) and Colleen ( 55-59 phenom). 4 mile run, 8:30 pace, 90 degrees. Fun to run with a large group. Unusual to get all of us together for a run. |

Easy run, early morning. First time in several years, 5 pelicans on the river, beautiful white birds.
I had to report for military muster this morning, came home and ran with Sylvia the last 3 miles of her run. We played with our Garmins, cool toys, our 3 mile run we have done for years measured via the Garmin 3.02 miles. Pretty darn close. What was interesting, Sylvia kept checking our pace, watching the pace made her pick up the pace.
