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: |

| Ran with my wife Sylvia, fun run, easy steady pace, ran hard on the few short hills. Sammy (my dog) ran the first 4 miles with us. We have her on a diet, hoping to increase her endurance. Now until St. George, every sunday at least 14 with every other sunday run increasing by 2 miles. Legs felt much better today, last sunday's run was hampered by fried shrimp at Red Lobster. I should know by now, stay away from the fried food, it does not agree with me or my running. B of BS Rools out. |

| State Capital to 200 yards past the water plant, up City Creek Canyon. Good effort, best hill leg strength run on the hills in the last five years. Out sprinted Brett, Frank and Dave up the two steepest hills, excellent leg strength. Maybe the increase in weekly mileage is starting to pay off. It was nice to surprise my running buddies with the burst of speed over the top of the toughest hills. I wish my legs would have felt this good during the Murray 5K. B of BS Rools out Treadmill at lunch, 3 miles at 8 min pace, .5% inclince. Leg weights, 2 sets x 12 reps leg press 440 lbs, 2 sets x 12 reps hamstring curls 80 lbs, 2 sets x 12 reps quad extenstions 80 lbs, calf raises 2 x 12 at 240 lbs. |

| South along Jordan River to 700 West, 1.5 miles chasing a couple of runners, faster than MP, but not as fast as threshold. Long run in the morning with Sylvia. *Note, 5 weeks in a row with 60+ miles. My legs have seemed to adapted to the increase in mileage with no injuries. I need to start ramping up the tempo runs and speed work. |
