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 bike ride, very good effort, rode North for most of the ride, open trail, no one around for the first 30 miles, the last 20 we filled with dog walkers, kids, etc. I had to slow down several times. Total bike miles 50.80, converted to 12.70 cross training miles.
Bike costs, now, you think biking would be cheap, I have worn out 3 tires and 4 tubes this summer. A good mountain bike tire is about $35 to $50. The slim tubes about $8 for the presta valves. I cannot complain, the biking gets me out.
Runner Chat: Stopped and talked to George today, former SLTC president for years, age is catching up to us older runners, he has a hammy that is killing him.

*I really hope that everyone has a good St.George. In the end, the marathon should not be measured by time, place, BQs, etc. The measure should be the hard work and fun along the journey to get to the marathon. Anything can happen on marathon day, it is only one day in the journey.

Bike commute today. Darn, forgot I had a physical therapy session in the morning. Sylvie is going to pace me the first 5 in the morning on the Jordan trail, then PT, and then run the last 10 at liberty park.

Early morning start, with Cat Stevens, moon shadows. Sylive paced the heck out of me for 5.26 miles in the dark. I then went to the PT, the PT said I was doing great, except need to work on the right quad, wall excercises. Not so good decision, since I was at the U of U, decided to run the shore line trail for a few miles. I am just not ready for all the uneven terrain. I cut the run short, ran 4.5 miles as the knee did not like all the rocky up and down trails. Dog encounters, I did not realize the Shoreline trail was a no leash area. I was directly confronted by three dogs that looked like they want a bite out of me for breakfast. The owner was very mad when I asked him to put the dogs on a leash. Well, next time, I will have my pepper spray with me for use if needed.
