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: |

Vodo Run - the sign at Sunset Lookout said the Hodo name can from Vodo?
The Hodo Vodo run is just what I needed this day to cleanse my mind of the past few months.
I got up early, before the hikers and rode to Fairyland Lookout. I ran all the uphill sections hard, stopped at the lookout points to enjoy the day, ran the downhill sections easy or walked. I stopped at Sunset lookout for a few moments and then made the run back.
I did not try and talk to the Hodos, didn't know if this would bring crazy running stuff, they are hodos.

Scenic drive and a half. After Bryce we drove to the boulder moutain lodge. If you have not drove highway 12, what a scenic view. This morning we drove the rest of the way, spectacular views. We drove back roads all the way to Nephi. If was fun, but, what a long drive.
Rode the bike 10 miles after I got home to loosen up the legs.

| Long tough bike ride, 50.67 miles, rode moderately hard the whole time. May run friday, if my right foot feels better. Bryce Trip with Sammy: I forgot to mention things about taking a dog on a road trip: 1. Sammy got me up in the middle of night, all three nights to take her outside to do her duty. 2. Sylvie snored the entire time and did not know I even got up. 3. Sammy does not like to be watched when she does her duty. I need to let her off the leash, not let her get too far, and act like I was not watching her. Sammy is very modest. 4. Sammy will only drink out of her own bowl, unless it is a paper cup with ice and water, she then loves that. 5. The french, we ate outside at "Hells grill" next to the Boulder Mountain lodge. We had sammy with us outside, a french couple "tourists sat outside with us and were upset with Sammy for some reason, or maybe it was us. 6. If you every have the time, drive highway 12, the views are spectacular. It is one long curvy drive. Stay Kool, good luck to all racers on the 24th, B of BS Rools out |

| Awoke to the alarming sounds of Jazzman, the cat. I rode the bike with Sylvie as she ran 6 miles. We then packed up and headed for a hike, Big Cottonwood to Dog Lake and back. I had intended to hike only. After about a mile, I told Sylvie, lets run. We ran about 3 of the last 4.2 miles. I ran almost all the uphill and moderate downhill portions. It was fun to get out with all the bugs. One reason we ran, the only way to keep the bugs off. I am out the door in a few minutes for a 10 mile bike ride. I plan on running from the bottom of city creek to the rotary in the mornng and walk the steep dowhill portions. Running uphill seems to cause me few problems. This will be an odd workout, but, I have the day off and Slyvie has to work.

Early morning bike ride: 32 miles, good effort, low energy today, less than fully motivated today. Watching the tour de france while I make this blog. I hope all this bike riding pays off and enables me to run more.

Beauty of the Long Run - There must have been 100 runners on the parkway doing long runs today.
Running: Ran 6 miles along the dirt edges of the trail on on the dirt trails. Spent most of the time attempting che type running. I may have the spelling wrong. Basically, a little short strides, keeping the knees bent with a forward lean. It seems to lessen the impact.
Running Buddies: I seen Breana and stopped and talked to her dad Bill. Congrads to Bill for winning Masters at the Des News Marathon. As I was headed home, I hear Jody, Kim and Paula excited to see me running towards them. We ran about 1/2 mile together. They are so much fun, wish I could have run a few more miles with them. (Note, found out the Jody and MarcieJ are related, makes sense, they both are such good runners). It would be nice if we could have a fun run along the parkway in mid October after racing season, with a BarbieQ. Sylive would be up for hosting if runners would want to come.
Bike Escort: Ran home and got on the bike, found Sylive and rode along while she ran 6 miles. Her legs are still sore from the Bryce half. 14 miles on the bike converted to 4.25 cross training miles.
