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, easy does it. Foot feeling better, nice to run before the heat of the day. I stopped and talked to guy who ran Chicago marathon last year, the heat, ran out of water, etc. It sounded like a joke. I also talked to Cindy, not running St.George, broke her arm.
Fitness evaluation: I am in poor running shape. my avg running miles per week over the last 4 months has been about 6 miles a week, what a drop from 70. My main concern right now, just run easy and slow, build some base. My cardio and fitness (biking) is in excellent shape. Hopeyfully, this cross training will help spring me back into some running shape.
Stay Kool, have a good sunday, B of BS Rools out Rode the bike 10 miles, convert to 2.5 cross training. Forgot to mention, middle of the day, I has heading south on the parkway, tree area, another biker was headed north, right between us, a doe and a fawn. As often as I have seen deer, nornally, never in the middle of the day.

26.5 miles bike commute. Hot, hot, hot, coming home.
Sylvie ran 16 miles to day in the heat, good for her. I expect she will have another very good St. George.

Enjoy the day adventure run (per Sylvie's orders): The goal, say hi to everyone, be funny, keep a good attitude. I don't know about the funny part, three ladies I passed on the right side, kind of startled them. I went ahead of them and took short cut thru the trees, I will be darned, ran into the same three, how in the heck did you get ahead of us again? Well, I said, you need to be quick. With that said, I shot off like bolt of until beyond their sight, I was pooped from the effort. So went my adventure run, tried new trails that hit a dead end, ran around the outside of the dog part for the first and last time, too many scary dogs. I jogged a loop around a soccer field that was soppy wet, have a blood sock and Sammy is giving the cold shoulder for not taking her. All in all, met my goal, adventure day. By the way slow 10 minute miles.

| Day off today, Dr.s orders, after the knee injection. Her advice, she is a marathoner, run two days a week and cross train. She has had other runners who have managed for years this way. Also, she said I can blame my dad for the arthritis, I wouldn't do that. Sylvie Running Reprot: Sylvie ran 5 miles this morning, I rode along with the bike. We played a game guessing how many runners we would pass, 34 total. Stay Kool, work my butt off this week, B of BS Rools out |
