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 morning run, wanted to get done to go watch the Des News Marathon runners on Foothill. Easy run. Made it up to foothill in time to see the two first place runners, black guys from? The third and fourth place runners were running together, the top blogger Sasha and someone else. They had a good 4 minute lead on the next runner. I expect Sasha took 3rd or 4th and was in the money. Carol Cannibilis was the first women by a mile.
The people you meet and when: A story - when I was in the active duty Navy back in 1970, we were ported in Subic Bay - Phillipines, the ship was next to another destroyer and we had to cross her brow to go onto the pier. As I saluted the flag and requested permission to come aboard, I was saluting a long time childhood friend I did not know was even in the Navy. Today I had another one of those experiences. I parked on a small side street off Foot Hill waiting for a couple of my running friends to pass. A large Victory motorcylce parked next to me. The person the got off was another child hood friend I had not seen for 39 years, his son was in 5th place behind Sasha running the marathon. I don't know the son's first name, last name is Olsen. I took his son's picture and talked about old times a little. You never know where you will meet someone.
Lastly, my long time running buddy, Brett, appeared, I ran with him about 1/4 of a mile and talked, Frank another running buddy had pulled over sick, upchucking, at mile 6. Brett did not know if he had kept going or not. The first words out of Brett, he hates the new DesNews course, way too much down hill.
I got a good picture of Sasha and Brett. Look forward to reading the race reports.

Early morning run, about 9 min mile pace. Did some strength yoga with Sylvia last night. I really need some consistent core work. My house got toilet papered last night. Sylvia caught the two neighbor boys last night and they ran like heck. They must of used a dozen rolls of bum fada. I sure the parents will not be too happy given the price of toilet paper. So, 10 minutes after my run this morning was getting toilet paper off the tree. We have a globe willow, could not get it all. Boys will be boys. I have still not fully recovered from the Bryce Half Marathon last saturday. The down hill really pounds the legs. The race had a 1800 foot elevation drop. The DesNews marathon had a 3200 foot elevation drop. This all sounds great for a fast time, but, my experience tells me that this severe of a drop costs more time than it saves with the pounding on the quads which slows you down when you hit the flat or rolling hills.
Lunch time run, 2 miles at 8 min. mile pace. Upper body circuit weights. Attempt to get my weekly mileage to avg. 60 for the next 8 or 9 weeks along with speed work. |

Nice easy run, humid 65 degress. Legs seem almost back to normal. Ran along the parkway to the Freedom Shrine at 45th south. After work run while Sylvia went home teaching, 6 miles. Nothing exciting to report, it is hot and muggy, my dog Sammy pooped out and didn't want to go running with me, I lost both big toe nails from the Ogden Marathon. Whats the good news: everyday is a new adventure, the previous day is always history.
B of BS Rools out. I may need to change the BS Rools thing, runners may get the wrong impression unless they read my profile. |

Crazy day: I could not get out of bed this morning to run. OK, run a tempo run on the treadmill at lunch, no can do, runner on the treadmill. Jump in the truck and hussle to the state capitol, ran up to City Creek Canyon (1 mile) and up 3 and 1/2 miles. It was hot and humid, slow going up and down. It was bike day, crazy bikers going 50 miles an hour down the canyon, or it seemed like it as has my hat was blown off by the wind from the passing bike.
I guess, all us runners get upset when plans go crazy.

Run with Sylvia and our dog Sammy. Sammy was a poop butt today, she was ready to stop after 2 miles. Humid day, easy run. Sylvia has not completely recovered from the half marathon last saturday. Many bikers, runners and dog walkers on the trail today. We got a later start than I would have liked. The earlier the start, less bike and foot traffic.
