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: |

Open water swim, sand Hallow Res. first one mile open water swim and without stopping, slow, but finished in 59 minutes. Sylvie said it was like herding cats, she rode life gaurd in teh Kayak, I likley swam more thatn a mile, per Sylive, not keeping a straight line. Very happy, gives me confidence for the half iron coming up next month.

West Canyon of Snow Canyon, good hard 10 miles on the dirt road, ran to the top, back down a mile and then back to the top, the best run I have had for several months. It helps that I have ran more this month than each of the last several months. Sylvie ran great, we raced the last 100 yrds to the top, beat her by a few steps, she kicked my butt good on the down hill. This was a good training run for the 15 mile trail run in pine valley, in two weeks. We did it last year, tought run on dirt roads, hell hole 15 miler, three miles fairly flat, down hill, for 4.5 and then back up 4.5.

Funny part - the biggest losers were walking the dirt road, I always give them a hi five and tell them great job. Today I did a chant, they got a big kick out of it, "I don't know, but I just herd, her comes the biggest loser heard, sound off ( ladies sound off while laughing, they got me laughing, could not finish the chant). Anything to keep me entertained while running. |
