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: |

Brick workout, rode spin bike hard for 12, miles, at 23.03 mph - hopped right off and ran on Milly for, 3% grade, avg pace 8:37, converted pace based on 3% grade, 7:57 - hope to get a ride in after work. Ran the last quarter mile at just under a 7 min mile pace, I know this does not sound like much, but felt like it was flying for me at the moment.
Positive note, suprised to have good legs given the 50 mile bike ride yesterday. It seems maybe my conditioning is starting to come around, still a long ways from where I would like for STG.
After work, 20 miles bike- moderate effort, recovery ride.

Easy early morning run, warm, still nice getting out. Nothing eventful, seen big black rabbit. I have seen 5 big black rabbits in the last few days. Either they have escaped captivity or the have been set free. Setting rabbits free on the JRP, they are doomed, the fox will eat them one by one. Also, people will release cats on the parkway, same fate for the cats.
Spin 2hours, tired butt - cardio, free weights,

Maybe I was born nuts - many people express that sentiment, including Sylvie at times. I think a little nuts is good. Rode the spin bike 32 miles watching the Tour De France, nice to see Lance have a great stage. Today was going to be my easy day, got home from the Dentist, Sylvie was heading out the door with Roxie for a short run to the Never Bear and back, 3 miles. What the heck, I said, I will run a mile with you, once I got going decided to give it a good effort, brick 5K sprint Tri effort after a bike ride. These workouts are killers, but, only way to really improve for Tris, they are painful like a marathon at times. (Note, stayed ahead of Sylive and Roxie, take small victories wherever I can get them)
Legend siting, old running buddy Demetrio, DC, exchanged high fives, always great to see him, has a fantastic attitude and still remains the best Utah runner ever winning 9 Des News Marathons in a row on the old tough course. We are off to STG in the next few hours, not too excited about going, given the heat, we will need to get up at 4 a.m. for a run.

Pool swim, 1 mile, 1/2 free and half back, slow, 1:13 to swim the mile. The free is locking me up, gotta stay with it. I was the lone swimmer at the Sand Hallow Acquatic center, go figure, I thought it would be 10 swimmers per lane given the heat, had my own personal life guard. She keep looking at me when I was swimming free, is he going down?

Trail run up and down West Canyon in Snow Canyon, we ran up to the top, down a mile and back up to get another two miles in, finished ahead of Sylive on the uphill and she kicked my butt on the downhill, she waited for 2 minutes for me with a 1/4 mile to go so we could run the last together. We seen several Biggest Losers from the camp walking up as we were going down, always have some fun giving them all high fives and telling them to keep up the good work. I always get a kick out of running right at them and yelling coming down the middle for high fives, they laugh. It would be interesting to see how sucessful the camp.
*Note, seen about 100 smaill rabbits.
