The transistion to the back of the pack has not been easy, but, acceptance, stay in the game, root for others, enjoy the rest of the journey. Another off the bucket list second = Provo Half IM - have done 6 open water Tris and 6 pool Tris. Gave the STG IM a good Tri, hope to take another shot at the IM.

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: |

| Run with Sylvia, good day, early start to beat the heat, 5 a.m., Sammy got scared by a skunk and a red fox during the run. I would not think that a big dog would get scared. |

| Recovery day, morning run along the Jordan River. Seen a red fox this morning. Lucnh, 5 min. warmup on bike, stretch, 1/2 mile at 8 min pace, 1.25 miles at 6:44 pace, .25 miles at 6 min pace. VO2 max seems to be getting better. I think I could hold a 6:45 pace for a 5K if it were a flat course. Draper 5K on saturday. Plan on running a 6:20 first mile (downhill) and then try and hang on to a 6:50 to 7:00 for the last 2.1, hope to be in the 21 to 21:15 range. |

Raced Colleen down to the bottom, pulled away the last 1/2 mile, she is a great downhill runner, placed 2nd in her division at St. George last year. 6 min. pace for the 3 and 1/2 down. As Garth would say, game on, each week at city creek now. Frank set a hard pace up, myself and Colleen set a hard pace down. 6 runners in our group today. |

| Draper Days 5K, 1st in div, 21:31, Sylvia 3nd 25:02. My time today was 35 seconds faster than the Murray 5K. We both had sore muscles from the yard work. 6:28 first mile on sluggish legs, held on at a decent pace, had one runner pass me after the 1 mile mark, passed about a dozen runners. I am going to add a hill day and an interval day the next few weeks in addition to a few races. B of BS Rools out. |
