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 - nice temps, a little humid - things go boo in the dark - a darn cat or something really histed at me, had my pepper spray ready, but could not see the creature. No more sci fi for me. The sky was pretty with white clouds covering venus, nice backdrop to the morning breaking. May spin or ride later to day.
110 ball crunches, upper body free weights, 48 minutes spinning.

Low energy day - had zone bar and ate 3 gus while running, toughed out the 14, longest run since STG last year. Beautiful early moring run, started at 4:30, fairly uneventful, had one standard poodle jump on me, that was about the excitement of the day. Rode the bike 16 miles and did 200 ball crunches. Completed one set, free weights: bench, curls, 1 set shoulders fly, and pull up shoulder.

Slept in this morning, rode the bike with Sylvie while she ran 16 miles, sag wagon. I counted about 50 runners on the parkway. A Jeff Galloway club was running.
We then proceeded to yard sales for a couple of hours. I bought a 20lb set of dumbells for $5, and bike seat bag for ($1) Sylvie. Sylvie bought a bird house, headboard and 22 carat gold serving dish. We stopped on the way home and made an appointment for a massage tomorrow, grocery store and home.
2 hours on the spin bike watching replays of football games (Seminoles vs BC and BYU vs. Utes), did 40 crunches every 12 minutes for a total of 20 miles spinning and 400 ball crunches. When will I lose this blubber? 1 oz. at a time.
