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: |

Run along the river, 3 miles north and home. Felt surprisingly well, avg. pace 8 min mile. Came home and picked up Sylvia, ran with her 5.25, 9 min pace. Sylvia had somewhat of a rough run today. It was a beautiful day with about a gazillion dog walkers on the Parkway. I sure like an early start to avoid the dogs. Plan on driving up to my daughter's house in Kamas today.
Have a nice Holiday.

East high today, just did not have the energy today. Warmup around East high, speed changes for a couple of laps, 400s, Marathon pace, 5K pace. I never quite caught on to exactly what workout was going on today. My lack of energy did not help. May try a few 800s at lunch.
Lunch time, warmup mile at 8:20 pace, 2 X 1/2 mile at 6:30 pace with full recovery between them. I am now in taper mode for the next three days, 5 easy miles per day with a couple of 100 yrd strideouts during the runs.

| Very early morning run, 4 a.m., did not see another sole, dog, cat, fox, but did see 3 racoons run accross the trail in front of me. Weird to run that early. Also, biffed it 3 times. Many branches accross the trail from the wind last night. It was difficult to run the short distance rather than my normal 8. I always struggle with this tapering stuff. |

Earyl morning run, dark outside, ran along the Jordan River Trail to Gardner Village and home. Did not see a single person, did see one fox. Tapering is tought, I feel like I need to run more. We all need to be careful right now with the big Marathon races coming up. There are too many runners on the blog with injuries, sick, etc. I seen on the blog, the past parties for bloggrs at TOU and St.George. Me and Syvlia and going to attend both to meet some of the bloggers. It has been a fun summer reading the blogs, acutally someone paying attention to the runner rambling on.

Greek Fesitval, we ran the race last year, I ran a 22: 43 last year. I was happy with the improvement. (Avg pace 6:56) But, I really wanted to get under 21 minutes, one of my goals this year. Before the race started, the top runner in my Division, John Straley was there to race. (John is a great guy and a real gentlemen, he often leads the Black Sheep workouts on tuesday morning). Two other runners in my division that beat me in 5Ks this year were also there. Anyway, go for the good, the bad or the ugly. I decided to go out fast for the first mile and try to hold on, hopefully finish second. Hit the first mile in 6:20. My legs were getting heavy at that point. My hang on pace for the next two miles was a 7:10 pace. Happy to get second in my division and be able to run a 6:20 mile. This is the fastest mile I have ran in a race this year and last year. I was not happy with the hang on pace, I should have had more guts. I really need to work on moving those legs when they feel like lead.
Sylvia had an off day today, low energy, 4th in her division, slow time for her 26:02. She will surely rebound next week at TOU.
Awards were funny, everyone in the race got an award, they drew for two cruises to Mexico and quite a few other prizes. It was fun, but kind of goofy with the awards.
Lastly, I don't know how to gauge from this race. Avg. 7:01 pace at Hobblecreek two wees ago and only avg. 6:56 in a 5K. It is difficult to measure where I am at and how to run TOU.
