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: |

2 hour, 20 minute bike ride. 200 crunches, upper body free weights - better energy today.
It was just nice to get outside, perfect weather for a ride. There is beauty in excercise without a defined purpose, other than enjoying being alive, out in the day.

Nice early, 4:30 a.m. run, ran south along the parkway, very nice morning. I focused on leg turnover and staying smooth. Scheduled for a 16 miler on friday. It is difficult to find slow running partners, Colleen, bless her heart, has volunteered to pace me for the 16 on friday. Where would we be without running buddies. Sheldon may also join in the pacing.
Spinning tonight, give it a hard effort, 24 miles, hill climbing to movie songs. .

Spinning 60 minutes, 200 crunches, circuit upper body weights. Rock N' Roll -
I have been putting off making my scrap book pages for the St.George marathon last year, scrap booking is for sissies. Mentally, have just not wanted to relive that marathon. I have not even read my blog entry from last year. I just recently, last weekend, added that medallions to my race room. Maybe it is time to accept was is and move on. I may open the scrap books and take a look back and be ready for the next adventure. This entry may not make sense, it would make sense for some.

Early morning run along the Legacy parkway with Colleen, the knee and endurance held up fairly well the first ten, avg pace 10 min miles. Last last 5 felt like the end of the worst marathon. I should not expect much, my running has been so limited, my mind says yes, the body, heh! This run gives me a feel of what is to come at St.George. My thoughts, never have done this before, usually, never stop during a marathon, run 1 mile and walk a minute, Galloway method. My next long run in two weeks, try this method, may also try this at Hobble Creek. Colleen was great to run my pace for 10 miles, finally told her to go on, wait for me at the finish, she ran an extra mile and finished with me.
Dehydration: weight before the run 158, weight after 154, that really says something about fluid needs during the run, we only stopped once for a drink. Next run, will either carry or set up aid every three miles.

X-Traiing today - 2 hours spinning, 400 crunches, 2 sets curls, 2 sets bench press, 2 sets X 2 different shoulder/upper arms, move the weight up 5 pounds on the bench press today, whenever I can do two sets of 12, move up 5 lbs. I don't want too much upper body bulk.
Old running stuff - it is so hard to part with old running clothes, shoes, etc. Sylvie gets after me, just move them to a different spot. A guy in my spinning class commented a couple of weeks ago that me and Sylive likley have a basement full of awards. Well, we have been running for 25 to 30 years, just by luck, if not effort, we would have some momentos. His comment got to me, put all the marathon medals in shadow boxes, hung up the placques, hung some runnning picutes, etc. My workout room is now adorned with running memories. No one except me and Sylvie will likely see them, but, good reminder of good times. Every race has a story.
Rode the bike with Sylvie while she ran 8 miles.
Biggest loser - 156.2 pounds this moving, down 3.8 pounds. 6 weeks left in the challenge, Mike down to 190.
