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: |

Late night, stayed up and watched the Utah game. Utah did not play very well, could get no pressure on the QB, made a couple of turnovers. This will not be another undefeated season.
I have been doing most of my runs in the dark, my ego has not quite settled with being passed by runners, slow as heck. This morning, ran in the daylight as could not get up early, toooo tired. My ego attitude changed today. One-half mile into the run, met up with George Adams, president of the Salt Lake Track club for many years, he has had his challenges getting back to running. He is going to STG just to cheer on the runners, he says he will stick around and cheer me on. This made me feel good. About a mile later, here comes Demettrio headed my way, (legend of Utah running) he gave me a high five and said it was good to see me running again. I said hi to a few other runners, and then came upon my neighbor walking. She has the same knee problem as me (cartlidge and OA problem). I told her about a couple of things that would help and we talked about Triathlons. She may give them a TRi.
Pool - swam 1 mile in the pool, low energy, but stuck it out. Rode the spin bike for 36 minutes and did 200 crunches. Cut the spinning short as family coming over for lunch, birthday celebrations. Busy day for a sunday.
Commando points - Kelli asked me about my criteria for awarding commando points. I will give this some thought. Funny thing, Sarah, Shasha;s wife said Sasha almost put a commando points button on the blog based on my commando points. Sarah is such a sweet person. It seems best to post this on my BS Running Rools.

When will I learn? The weather man is right how often? Sylvie keeps telling me that it is going to be thruderstorms, rain and cold this morning. So, I dress with light tights, long sleeve tech shirt, jacket and gloves. I get ten feet out the door, takes to much time, need to get to work, run over dressed anyway. After the first mile ditched the jacket and gloves, picked them up on the way back. I am one of these runners who does quit wearing shorts until January or 30 degrees.
Very nice morning for a run, ran to 4500 south and home, as usual, did not see another runner, walker or biker. Gotta love these sept mornings, light outside with the could cover and great temps. For whatever reason, have been a little run down since saturday, taking a couple of easy days to get regenerated, planning a combo long run on friday, run 12 to 14 miles and bike for 40 to 50 miles, last long workout before STG.

Interval spin workout, interval at 24.5 to 25 mph (one minute) two minutes at 21 mph, and then repeat - Good workout, sweat, no blood and almost tears. Hopefully, get a weight workout in later today and another hour of cross training. I feel 5 lbs heavier today, went to the Market Street Grill last night.

Low engery day, dog chased me, stars were not aligned, knees achy, my toes were not happy, bad hair day, Garmin quit - low battery, two runners passed me, almost got hit by a bike (hate getting passed, tried to hang on).
Anyday is a great running day, it was nice to get out this morning.
Marathon ready - no, cardio ready yes. The dress rehersal did not go well, took 2 gus with me, biofreeze, drank a protien shake last night, prayed to the running gods (that may be Sasha and Demettrio) - they didn't answer.
Thoughts about the upcoming marathon - it will be tough and slow, I am determined to finish. All the cross training, spinning, does not compensate for the pounding of running, etc. I will have some cheese with my whine.
Things to work on - figure out the energy issue, may not be eating enought trying to drop a couple more lbs, break out a new pair of shoes, file my toe nails, get in another longer run next friday, determine a pace, sing as I run - problem, only know one line of a few songs.
Positives - still running, strong, almost have abs, 3 or 4 more lbs to lose, still have the drive, Sylvie is running great for her division - she has a shot to place at STG.
Rode my carbon bike 16 miles after the run, what a fun bike to ride.
Stay Kool, good luck TOU runners, B of BS Rools out
May spin more later today.

Dark - sage wagon for Sylvie while she ran 22 miles, good run for her. No peanut butter on the parkway today. Rode the spin bike watching Utah lose, 1 hour, 250 crunches, upper body free weights. We got a couples massage this afternoon, nice.
