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: |

| Recovery run, nice easy run along the river, most dirt / gravel trail today. Legs felt better than expected, no hot spots, just normal recovery. The support of the bloggers has been great on race day. |

Ease 8 miles, 8:45 pace, Early morning run, along river trail to 4100 and home. I bought some old style running shorts with side cuts. It feels weird to run in them, but, they are comfortable and cool.
Lunch time treadmill run, 4 miles at marathon pace, 7:36 pace. Legs still tired from the race saturday. Effort was intended to simulate last few miles of a marathon, if there is a way to simulate.
Lastly, all the comments from the races have been great to read. I expect TOU and St. George will have the blog buzzing.

Big, Big, mud slide on the Parkway overnight, at least 6 inches everywhere on the trail from my house to Garner Village and home. I was really worried when I got hot about tracking all that mud in the house, sat on the front steps, took off my shoes, awoke from my running daze. No mud on my shoes. I'm sure I was running in 6 inches of mud.
Skipped the Black Sheep workout thes morning, good thing, maybe over training without enough rest. I may try a sand run at lunch. |

Another runner ran with me this morning, it was me, I was being followed by a moon shadow this morning. I cherish these mornings as the tough and cold winter time runs will soon be here. September and October are my favorite months for running. I have had several of my running buddies say, taper more for the marathon. It is very tough to taper and take time off after the marathon when every morning is a runners high durning the fall.
I almost wish every weekend was a race, it is great to read all the war stories.
Easy 3 mile run in the evening while Sylvia was home teaching. Ran to the Never Bear and home. The turnaround point is named the Never Bear, about 10 years ago a local "Chain Saw Wood Bear Carver" donated a 14 foot beared carved from a big tree. As the wood was soft, it decayed in about 6 years and collapsed and was gone. So, we have name the spot the Never Bear, as it will never be seen again. |

Early morning run, fu11 moon, great day, legs are somewhat heavy from all the training. I expect this week will me my highest mileage week of the year, maybe 70 plus change.
Lunch time run, treadmill conversion, 1 mile warmup, 3 x 1/2 mile at 6 minute mile pace, full recovery (heart rate back down to 120) before going again. Max. heart rate 174 during the 1/2 mile. Right upper thigh feels strained, decided not to push it with a couple of more, had the energy to complete a couple more. Weight down to 155, goal 150 by St. George. I read somewhere that up to 2 seconds per mile faster for every pound lost. It sounds too good to be true. But, I have been sold on snake oil before.

| Easy, run, along the parkway to the Veterans Memorial and home. Had 3 racoons run in front of me this morning. They may look cute in the cartoons, but, they are really creepy looking in the dark. |

Run with Sylvia today. I tried to talk her into a more of a tempo run as Sasha suggested. She did run the first 8 miles at her marathon pace, 8:30. But, Sylvia really wanted to run 20 miles as she has not run anything over 17 this year. Story of the long run:
1. We ate at Fazolie's last night, cheap, right on with the carbs
2. Ate oatmeal, banana, Poweraide before the run and gus during the run with PowerAid. The combination seemed to work very well. This was the easiest 22 miler I have run for a couple of years.
Lastly, Sasha, the Tinman and reading blogs has changed how we have trained this year. Maybe we are just not disciplined enough to do tempo runs. Syliva has ran 6 half marathons and I have ran 4 this year. We have substituted our long runs this summer with half marathons. We both feel in better shape because of the change. Long slow runs make runners run long and slow. Also, hope to keep up the tuesday Black Sheep workouts.
We met Steve Ashman on the Jordan Parkway trail today, very nice person. It was good to meet Steve. We talked about running, of course. TOU and St. George.
