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: |

Easy - Hard Miles if that makes sense. Ran outside at lunch with Davey. The first half of the run was into a hot head wind, and the second half the wind stopped, or it seemed like it. Almost too hot for a lunch time run.
Ran an extra, who knows how many miles, chasing my grand children around the playground. Watched Tigger the movie, I had bouncee legs also. |

Run from state capital, un City Creek Canyon 3 and half miles and trun around. Good steady hill workout. Ran with Sheldon this moring. We plan on extending the run another half mile each week until we are running all the way to the rotary and back..
The hills are always tough, hate and love triangle, I love the hills when the done, hate running up them in the moment and my common sense tells me they are needed for good St.George Marthon. It is much easier to run with friends than to trudge up yourself.

Early morning easy run. Nice to get out in the fresh air of the mornng. Circuit upper body weights at lunch and some exercise ball hamstring exercices. Seemed to recover will from the City Creek run yesterday.
I only have two races next month, I am trying to talk Sylvia into adding another, she thinks we race too often. Murray 5k and Bryce Canyon Half Marathon. |

Early morning run, 8 min. first mile, then ran the next two miles in 13: 58, ran easy the last 2 miles. It is very tough to make myself pick up the pace during an early morning run. I need to be mentally tough. Happy with the effort, the first three miles, even with the 8 min. mile the first mile was 20 seconds faster than my 5K last saturday.
Note, it is fun to run faster when you have the feeling of flying. It is not often I feel like the Devine Miss M is singing while I running. Today was one of those days, at least for a couple of miles.
Old shoe story: My wife never chucks old running shoes. She cleaned out the garage, washed a bunch of old running shoes that I had forgot about. She then dumped the 11 pair of shoes, clean, on my side of the bed. Now, I wonder, do any of them still have some good miles left? It is always hard to part with our old friends, even if they be shoes. By the way, I still have the shoes I ran the 1996 Boston Marathon in. |

Early morning start to beat the heat. Sylvia and myself, we took our dog Sammy the first two miles. Sammy really gets upset if she does not get to go run a couple of miles. She sulks all day if she does not get to go. Anyway, we tried to stay in the shade of the trees along the trail as much as possible. Our method worked for about half the run until the bikers started hitting the trail, we then had to stay on our side. Not the best long run we have ever had, but, nice and steady. I think we will sign up for the Provo half marathon. That we give us 3 half marathons this summer. With the effort of a half marathon it is almost like a 20 mile easy run.
Garmin: I have really liked most of the features with the Garmin. But, the pace per mile really seems out of whack when the graph and zone charts display in the training center. It seems the accurate display of pace is in the graph, right clicking on each mile mark to see the time and pace.
First half running year summary: Marathons - Salt Lake and Ogden- below par, strider half marathon - 7:30 avg pace - best race of the season so far. Best 5k 21:29 - Over 1250 miles for the first half. No injuries - need more quality work - Goals - run City Creek for the hill workouts once per week, run a race or a tempo run once a week. (have more guts in races)
