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: |

Early morning run, with moon shadow and Cat, every nice temps, great to be out. Ran with a Treking pole today, don't like it, it seems to help best on the uphill.

Nice early morning ride, cool of the morning, moderate effort, semi taper for 5K tomorrow, legs feel good. Nice day to be off work, oil change and help Sylvie with some yard work.
I had a runner say good morning biker, struck me funny, hey, I am a runner. I will always first be a runner.

Nice day for race, cool, temps, the race was off, dead legs, gave a good go. 18:10 at mile 2, 9:35 the last 1.1 miles. Legs started to feel better as we hit the 3/4 mile uphill portion.
Sylive took first in her division, good race for her. We hung a round and talked to a few runners, hoped for prize, they drew for almost 100 prizes, best 5K, only $15.
I went for a 3 mile run on the parkway when we got home, nice to get out, then rode the bike for 20 miles, my ride again later today. Reverse brick, keep the legs guessing.
Bottom line - need speedwork, can run 9 minute miles for 1 mile or a half marathon, almost the same pace for SL and Ogden half as the 5K.
