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: |

Stayed up late last night watching the Utes, what a crazy game, glad the utes won, sletp in this morning, did a hard mtn bike ride up west canyone then to the top of sown canyon. Seen two hand bikes about 200 yrds from the top of swon canyon, gave them some kudos, tough as nails.
The trails in the STG are in bad shape after the down pour last week.

Run in the dark, ran north along JRP, went under 5300, heard something behind me, it was a baby elephant, truck swinging to and fro, chasing me. The trunk a lite in the end of it. It freaked me out, picked up the pace, what did this elephant want with me. I though that I had lost this creature, hit the boardwalk, could hear the heavy feet, picked up the pace like a bat out of heck accross the boardwalk to 4800 So., the chase was on, kept it going until 45th and turned around. Now me and the elephant were going to meet hear on, I had my pepper spray ready for the battle. Well, your ming does funny things in the dark, as we met, it was another runner swiming a light as he ran.
I just don't like someone on something on my heals. Said hi and kept on going, I wonder if he was headed to the elephant burial grounds.
Nice to get out in the morning, enjoyed the adventure.

Me and milly, again it is silly, put on the compression sleeves, pulled up my sleeves, said good morning to milly and started the climb, 3% grade for 5 miles, took 47 minutes, 9:24 pace overall, run and walk routine. Some time long ago, in a far off land, could run 8 minute miles it seemed forever, times have changed. Ran about 3 quarter mile repeats with milly at a 6:30 pace, still have some speed, but the knees don't like it. Anyway, enough whining, get some cheese, suck it up, doing a 20 miler at altitude tomorrow with my daughter and her husband in Kamas.

Nice little long run, ran with my oldest daughter and her husband up in the Marion and Oakly area. It was a great morning for a run, fall colors, ran alon the Weber river, had a great time. Happy to see they are both ready for STG. My day, well, ups and downs, ran good at times and not so good at times, had good energy, ran about 90% and speed walked. Things to note, were scared cows, talked to bikers, talked to three ladies doing their last long run for STG, watched fish in the river, very nice day. I miss long runs.
