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 spinning - 1 hour
8 miles running, it was fairly hot this morning, late start, first 5 miles went well with a good consistent pace, last three miles worked on cadence, the knee started act up, finished with Sylvie yelling "looking good" out the window. This did not mean I was looking good. When we were trianing with my step son, Taylor, for STG a few years ago me and him would tell all the runners going the opposite way on the trail looking good. Two guys passed us looking like he--. We said looking good to them, Sylvie gave us the business over that one. Bottom line, looked line he-- at the end, too hot.
Spinning again for 1 hour and 36 minutes,
Upper body free weight workout, energy a little drained fromt he cardio, did not max out on reps. 200 crunches.

Hard spinning this morning, 1 hr, 24 minutes, good effort. May ride on spin later, hopefully get in some crunches and stretches. Always fun to read the race reports.
Fat Head, biggest loser, after watching my diet for a week, ate 3 chocolate chip cookies, giant peice of chocolate cake and ice cream. I now have to excercise like a fat foolish mad man, biggest loser weigh-in tomorrow. I cannot be trusted around junk food, don't buy, won't it eat, buy it or free - I will eat more than my share.
200 crunches - 36 minutes spinning, total 2 hours today
Watched a Chi running video that Sylvie bought, interesting.

| Early morning run - Sylvie bought Chi running book, DVD and metronome. Well, I decided to run with the metronome this morning, kind or irritating, the constant clicking. I set it for 85 strides, one foot, per minute. It was a workout keeping on pace. My pace has slowed with the knee injury, if I need to do a shuffle type stride, my goal is to get back to 90 per minute. Good workout. Funny thing, my knee actually feels better after this run with doing a few Chi warmup exercises and trying some of the new form. Maybe this will allow me run a little faster and long without knee issues. Hope. Spinning class tonight and maybe yoga.
Raccon sighting this morning, family just north of 4800 south, strange creatures in the dark.
Upper body circuit weights, 200 crunches - spinning class with Sylvie, good effort. ProBar, great meal replacement, got a deal with the instructor.

Running with a moon shadown, moon shadow - without Cat, beautiful morning. Just loving the temps and the moon. Legs were tired this morning, was going to quit after 4 miles, went another 1.25 just to enjoy the morning. Just love these mornings.

| Took my old commuter bike, cannondale, out for a 50 ride, rather than taking my new road bike on the parkway. The commutter has bomb proof tires. Good solid effort staying on the pedals, pressing the pace. Conver to 12.5 cross training miles. 200 crunches, upper body weights. My go mountain bike later today.
Ute Report: Was Utah state that good or Utah that bad? Good question, Utah will need to play better to beat SJS next week.
