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: |

Happy Birthday, Jenna, my oldest daughter is 33 today. When you look back, time does fly. Look forward to seeing her today and my grandson.
Spin bike 90 minutes - convert to 7.5 cross training.
Murray Park Centre Pool - 1,000 meters - convert to 6 cross training - It was a tough day in the pool, of the 40 lenghts, did 10 of those back stroke. One good thing, if I have trouble with the free style, rely on the back stroke.

84 minutes, spin bike - kinda boring workout. Swim in the morning and maybe spin class after work. Signed up for the Arts Festival 5K, receive a free ticket to the Arts Festival as part of the race. Sylive loves the festival, she used to have a booth, oil paint artist.
Running note, strained by right calf muscle saturday running, taking a few days off running. I hope the WinterCrest helps.

Swim, 1,000 meters, still a struggle, rest every 25 meters. More working out later today.
Later today workout, upper body circuit weights at lunch.
Las Vegas Spinning Class, songs with a Vegas theme, poker and prizes, show girls and fun. We had 6 (women spinners) we called them our show girls. The instructer, Kelly, really works hard to keep it fun.

Brick Day - Awoke to the alarming sounds of Jazzman, our cat, had a belly breakfast, made coffee for Sylive and was out the door, arrived at the gym 5 a.m. to spin before the 5: 45 class started, good class, 40 miles spinning. The instructor ran the Ogden marathon, runner chitter chatter about the marathon for a few minutes, she ran a 3:47.
The swim, 1,000 yards, swam the first 300 yards without stopping, just to see if I could do it next week. A swim coach named Noel, was there giving a private lesson, one of the coaches on the Total Emersion web site. I am going to take a lesson. The last two laps, my foot and quad were starting to cramp, likely not enough fluids, seems odd to drink before swimming as I feel like I'm drinking a gallon of water in the pool.
Last Brick - rode my bike on the parkway for 15 miles, nice morning, geese, ducks, strang people walking, dogs a barking, birds a singing, the sun a shining and not a joke to be told.

Spin 1 hour, bench press, shoulder work. Difficult to get workout in, we are watching one of our grand kids for 3 days. Hopefully, get in another hour later in the day, hope to ride outside. Although this is a running blog, swimming, becoming a decent swimmer has become one of my goals. Bought the Total Immersion book yesterday, great read if you interesting in swimming or doing a few Triathlons. No running today, had the 3rd shot of HA in my knee yesterday, will run a few miles tomorrow and see how it feels.
Afternoon, 10 miles spinning, curls.

Stop Here: No cause to read on.
I will have some cheese with my whine, not often the whining shows itself. Today was one of those days, I so much would rather be running, rain, sun, dark, etc. Two of my former runnng buddies ran the UVM day, ran many miles with those two. I was one of the postmen of running, deliver no matter what. Accepting what is, not always easy. Many runners have been are injured on the blog, I'm sure many ask, will I ever be back, most will, a few may not return to former form or even running. Anyway, this shall pass, I will take the challenge of finishing triathlons, no matter how slow and not competitive. Never whine once the run starts, I am going to add a new BS Rool: Never whine once a goal is set, move forward, regardless of setbacks. |
