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: |

Bike to and from work, 26.5 miles. Nice day for a bike ride, long day, worked 11 hours with 8.5 hours of straight meetings. Tough day with no caffine. I have also quit caffine 5 days ago. It appears I have another week or so of withdrawls stuff.
Running Shorts: Fathers Day - Some days are just better than others, yesterday was one of those days. My oldest grandson, 5 years old has stared at some or our running trophies for a couple of years. He has wanted a trophy for running. Sylvie decided to hold our own kids race on a grass part of the parkway. The course was about 50 yards long, the kids are only 3, 3 and 5. The starting line was marked with flour and the finish with flour. The dads were also in the race. The dads had to run backwards.
PreRace: Running star rising, Alex Jr. warmed up about a quarter mile running all over. The other grand kids ran about a 10 yard warmup.
The start: Ready, set, go and the kids and dads were off:
10 yard split, Alex Jr. quickly had the lead on everyone, even the dads running backwards.
15 yard split, (Alex) Taylor (dad of Ty) falls down running backwards.
20 yard split, (Alex is cruising, look back to see if the competition is coming)
25 yard split, (Ty) Ty falls down crying, dropped a toy car out of his pocket in the grass and almost DNFs.
30 yard split, Tiger Lilly, is one fast little chicka, great form, smiling all the way is in second place.
40 yard split, Alex Jr. is giving it his big kick, Lilly, great form is cruising. Ty is still crying, this time I think it is over being in last place.
Finish, Alex Jr. crosses the finish line with high fives from everyone, Tiger Lilly finishes a close second by 20 yards and give high fives. Mom and Dad run back to Ty, Mom tells Ty to run while dad is not looking, Ty takes off like a shot accross the finish line. It seems he was really concerned about beating dad.
Post Race Awards: All three kids get trophies, they were all so excited, with pictures taken.
Funny Part: After we get back to the house, Alex Jr. has to use the bathroom, he is in there forever. We here him singing, I love my trophy.
We are going to sign him up for a real kids race, Utah Arts Festival a week from saturday. We have another running in the family.

Early Morning Run with a couple of short walking breaks. Ran slow but sure for three miles on wood chips and the dirt trail along the river with a couple of short walk breaks on the asphalt. I hopped on my bike for a quick 20 mile bike ride, just got done.
I stood up both Colleen and Bonnie this moring. (Well, kind of stood up, I did not confirm) I hope we are still running buddies.

Slower than slow miles on the trails along the river. It was nice to get out in the day. Rode my bike with Sylvia while she did 10 miles. She is running strong right now. She ran the ten miles at a faster pace than she ran the 5K last saturday.
