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, Early, moring run with Sylvie, she kicked my butt, maybe pay back for beating her in the 5K yesterday. Nice to run with her again, we ran almost the entire run on dirt trails. Hopped on the bike and did another quick 20 miles. The bike ride was fun.
The Comeback trail is full of ups and downs, wrong turns, booby traps and every excuse to get off that trail. Staying on the trail, never give up.
Stay Kool, happy trails to you, B of BS Rools out

Liberty Park, without the bell, awoke to the alarming sounds of Sammy shaking and Jazzman meowing. What the heck, 4:30 in the morning? Decided to get up and get going. After attending to my the masters, the dog and cat, headed out the door to da park, without da bears. Not knowing how far Bonnie wanted to run, decided just to start running.
Burst of energy and enthusiasm – about 3/4ths done on my 3rd loop, here comes Bonnie yelling my name. It was like were old Army buddies reunited. Although we had only met once before, we talked and ran, talked and ran the time away the next 5 miles. My pace was quicker, my spirits lifted as we talked and talked.

Bike, 20 miles, 90 rpm, good pace and effort, ran .25 miles on the treadmill, 8 min. pace, have some issues with outside of right calf. It appears to be from compensating for the inside of the right knee. I need to figure out some exercises. Good side, did not bother the knee. I am sticking to my slow recovery plan, only 20 miles this week all on dirt or grass and increase slowly.

A few easy miles this morning, attempted to practice not compensating for the right knee, went well at times, not so well at times. I will likely ride 20 miles on the bike sometime today. I'm off to ride the bike with Sylvie while she runs 11 miles. Goal for next week, 10 mile run at liberty park and another 12 easy miles, 3 or 4 days of running for a total of 22 miles. Also, practice running smooth and not compensate for the right knee.
