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 morning run, many dog walkers, station to station run, legs felt very good, energy a little on the low side. *Note, Sylvia received her 2nd place plaque in the mail from the Ogden Half Marathon yesterday. Nice award for 2nd in her age division.
Norman Rockwell Saturday Evening Posts - Just like out of the post, sunday morning scene. The sun was cresting the Wasatch, an old lady, 85ish, on a old, old, three wheel bike, pedaling as hard as she could an only moving like a turtle. I wish Sylvia would have been there, with her expensive camera. It was a classic shot. |

State Capitol, up to city creek canyon, up the canyon 3 1/2 miles and back down. Ran with Sheldon, Colleen, Brett and Frank. Nice effort going up and coming down. Good to practice the up hill and downhill running. Sheldon and Collen gapped myself, Brett and Frank coming down by 150 yards. Picked up the pace to a 6:20 pace for about 1/2 to catch and pass them just before the bottom. This will now be a weekly run until St. George.
Garmin: Overall pace 8:17,

| Easy recovery run, slow, legs tired. I read an interesting little article about running in the morning. It said that it takes about 3 hours for your muscles to restore after your wakeup and eat a bagel and energy bar and that you should alwasy do this before a race. It makes sense that it should apply to morning runs also. It may partly explain why I often have low energy for early moring runs. I usually eat a banana, 15 minutes from alarm and out the door. |

Sylvia, 2nd in her division, 105th overall, 25:40 - I mention her first, as she did the best today. Her best 5k time in quite some time. The couse measured 3.08 on my Garmin and 3.11 on Chad's garmin. Close enough, not a certified course.
The race started with us close to the front, I could not get my legs moving, Sylvia passed me and gapped me by about 30 yards, finally got going at about the 3/4 mile mark, caught Sylvia and passed her. My first mile was 8:27. The last two miles were at about a 6:55 pace. I have been sick with a cough all week. It was fun to pass about 50 runners after the first mile. It was likely close to 85 at the finish of the race, hot morning. I really like the course better than the last few years. They ran us into the west side loop of Libert park and back out. The race had kind of a fun run race feel to it with a free entry to the arts festival. Happy with the effort, not the time.
