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: |

Not smart, but, ever feel you are under trained for a marathon, trying to cram for the STG exam, ran ten miles this morning after running 20 miles two days ago. Did fairly well, fun talking to a few runners. Rode the bike for 28 miles after, for a nice mixed up Brick. There are no substitutes for running if your going to run races, at least not for the pounding on the roads. Chased a girl who passed me hearting to 39th south, passed her going up over the bridge on 39th and then she smoked me. Held on as a coule running passed me. I don't like being passed, gives me some motivation to hang on for a few minutes. Plan on having a big training week this week and then taper.

Fairly hard, 22 mph pace for 24 miles, spinning, I need some new tunes, close my eyes.
After work, another 24 miles spin, pressing those legs, hoping for magic on race day, hoping for legs of old, hoping hoping. I opened my eyes, seeing ahead, setting the plan, stick to the plan, don't chase, don't chase, patient.

Easy run, at few miles at lunch, hard spinning class, nice to talk to some of the old spinning buddies. They surprised me with congrads on the Utah Half Iron Man distance, didn't know they knew I did the race. We will get together at STG for a few laughs and do the senior games Tri together.
Stay Kool, STG is coming soon |
