The transistion to the back of the pack has not been easy, but, acceptance, stay in the game, root for others, enjoy the rest of the journey. Another off the bucket list second = Provo Half IM - have done 6 open water Tris and 6 pool Tris. Gave the STG IM a good Tri, hope to take another shot at the IM.

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: |

Wow, sore quads big time - don't run downhill for months and then run downhill - crazy fun. God thing, the knee is no worse for the effort, just normal soreness. It was so darn fun to run mid pack, grind and grit, I really do miss the toughness of races, getting in the zone, pushing on, no feeling quite like a hard race. Also, really love the excitement of the bloggers, what a fun group of runners. Back to everyday blogging;
Rode the spin bike for 80 minutes, moderate effort - rode 10 miles on the bike outside, 200 crunches, upper body weights, curls, bench, Tris and shoulders. No running for a couple of days, need to recover and hopefully run a long run next weekend.

| 1st post race run, quads still sore, tried a little chi running, not easy to make the change. Beautiful morning, said good morning to a homeless guy on a bench. Unusual for a homeless person to be that far south on the parkway. Weird saying hello at 4:30 in the pitch dark of morning. Hope to get in some spinning later today. 30 minutes spinning, 150 crunches. Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out |

Spin 1 hour, good upper body circuit weight workout. Weight 155 after the workout, check it again tomorrow, down to 5 lbs left. Rode the bike 14 miles putting out 4 bottles of vitamin water for my longer run in the morning. It seems the week after the hype of a race, race day excitement, kind of a let down. As hard as races may be at times, they are sure fun to gab about.

Early morning run along the parkway, not fully recovered from the Half. Fun mornng listening to music and enjoying the day. Rode the spin bike for 60 minutes, 250 crunches. Sylvie is working this morning, off to do a little shopping and later headed to see my daughter and grandson.
My feet just beat up, no injuries, losing two toe nails, a couple of small blisters. I sure every runner issues ongoing during the year.

Biggest Loser - right now, this morning, point in time, down to my St.George weight last year, 15 pounds lost in 3 months, the last 4 or 5 pounds will be the toughest to lose and keep off. My body does not like being below 153, shooting for 148 to 150 for St.George. Also, bought a new tight fitting Tri shirt today, if you ignore the last of the belly fat, almost look good in the shirt. Note about blogging, some of my old blogging buddies just don't blog much, Lybi, Tom, Kim, Kerry, Christi and now Mike as he is on the mend. Why get a tight fitting Tri shirt? Well, if you can get the right shirt, it saves transition time as you wear the shirt swimming, biking and running. Many races and placing is lost in transistion. |

Spinning, 2hours, watching college football preview shows, 400 crunches. Rode the bike as Sylvie's sag wagon while she ran 10 miles. Many runners on the parkway today, Salt Running Company teaser run. From reading Burt's blog, decided to say hi or smile at everyone, amazingly, only one person did not smile or say hi back. What does this say, people are nicer in Utah? Or, maybe in it Burt's delivery. Burt, if you read this blog, people are nicer in Utah, its not you. ha, ha.
Big workout week starting tomorrow, simulate a long run tomorrow, run 6 miles and then ride the bike for 3 or 4 hours to simulate a long run. Goal, combination of 80 mile crosstraining equivalent and running. I need that 4 or 5 hours or aerobic excercise to simulate the long time it will take me at St.George, save the knees for the marathon.
Sylvie note, she is running well, after all the years we ran together, sometimes gets to me that we can no longer run together, I would not hold back her training efforts to ask her to run slower. Anyway, hope she keeps running into ther 80s like many runners hope for themselves.
Gym - Murray Rec Center has been closed for ten days, annual cleaning, cannot wait to get back to swimming and spinning classes. As so as STG is done and we are back from Hawaii, we will start yoga again each week. Long winded blog today.
