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: |

Spinning, 40 miles watching the Tour De France, too bad for Lance. My training has been stagnent. My goal in the next couple days is to take a new training direction, maybe more swimming for cardio, longer bike rides, maybe shorter runs -but more up tempo.
I don't know at this point, the inability to run 50 to 70 weeks has kinda put me in a mental funk. I realized yesterday, difficult to be happly plodding along at 9 min miles, maybe being in better shape will take the stink out of the slow pace. Another side of running I really miss, I now do all my runs solo, Sylvie's pace is faster, all my old running buddies have a faster pace, many have offered to slow the pace and run with me, but, I would not want to have any part of any run that would hinder a workout of another. Mike asked me a couple weeks ago about biking, well, the big reason I enjoy being, can ride along without the feeling of holding anyone back.

JRP, north to 45th south and home - Early, 4:10 a.m. out the door, very nice morning for a run, love those early summer time runs, took a different approach to running this morning, practiced fast short steps for leg turnover. I have a race walking friend (Colleen), now runner, who has the fastest leg turnover in the west. The fast leg turnover works for her with knee problems. I was surprised that my pace was about the same as my normal stride without as much impact. The down side, it will take some time and practice to keep this turnover going for a marathon.
Spin, bike or swim after work. Spin 20 miles

Very nice early morning run, leg turnover practice, good run. When crossing over the river bridge at 4800, three muskrats on the bridge, irrating little creatures, they did not move, just ran by them. I have done two a days everyday this week and will bike ride 20 miles after work. I now have a concern about long runs / workouts.

Spin, spin and spin, 48 miles, average effort, saving the legs for run and swim tomorrow. Missed my two a day yesterday, had to watch my grandson for several hours while my daughter was at the hospital, false alarm and the arrival of the new grandson, hopefully she will go full term, still almost 7 weeks left. Tristan was a blast, he is real goer.

Early morning run, easy pace, nice morning, see a fox with a duck it it's jaws. I had thought the foxes had moved off the parkway, no Muskrat love this mornng, followed the run up with a 20 mile bike ride, moderate effort. My body is a little tired from bumping up my workouts this week, need a combination of 11 miles tomorrow to hit a 70 mile combo week. Makes it tough to hit a combo, only count 5 miles on a 20 mile bike ride, and 5 miles running for 1 mile swimming, this equates the the approximate cardio time for running 5 miles. Although, swimming is more of a cardio workout that running at my pace. Anyway, need about 10 of these weeks in a row to get ready for the cardio effort at SGM.

Humid run, some fun, ran with Sylvie and Roxie, south a couple of miles, chatted with T NA NA and Riverton Paul for a minute, nice to meet Teena. Darn if I can remember that name of the other lady runner, takes me several times to get the name, nice person. This is the first time I have ran with Sylvie and Roxie for about a month, was surprised to have good legs after a tough week of training, actually pushed Sylvie the last few miles. One note, took Hydraplenish yesterday, seems to make a difference for the knee. 16 bike ride, moderate effort, yea, 70 mile combo week, first time this year.
