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: |

| Trouble today, pulled up at 3.5 miles with a right hamstring problem, walked in the last .5 miles. Bought some compression shorts, I hope nothing major. I plan on really taking it slow at the start to warmup. I really don't like running in compression shorts, but, I hope to get by at St. George |

| Sylvia, had a great marathon, 2 minutes faster than last year, 3:48, 20th in her div. This time would have placed last year and the year before. Myself, hamsting went crazy at 1 and 1/2 miles running with Brett and Frank. Pulled over, stretched, ran on the gravel, dirt path on the side of the road. I actually thought this may be a DNF. Felt much better on the uphill starting with Veyo, ran the next 4 miles slow, but, ok. I then resolved myself to finish. Ran a 15 minute negative split the second half, which means nothing given the pace. Anyway, if I can recover from the injury, may run another marathon this year. Disappointing to waste the conditioning. I have three large bruies on my right leg, above the back of the knee and one one the calf. Lastly, Sylvia is now in the ten-year club at St. George along with Brett. At the 10-year banquett, talked to an running friend from 1983, Kenny Maughn, he held the age group record 15-19 for 23 years and was honored. I was semi-bummed, but, there is always another marathon. I got some hamstring advice from John sTraley after the race. Hopefully it will help. B of BS Rools out. |
