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: |

The taper begins, cold run this morning, legs were slow and heavy, good thing the taper is here. Ran south today towards Gardner Village. At about 2.5 hit the muddy trail where the river has washed out part of the asphalt. I was surprised, the city of West Jordon usually is very slow to react. The repair to shoring up the river must be at state expense. I hope they finish the work before the real bad weather hits.
This entry is for the creature watchers, Crumpy1, Kerry, and the Wolf. Running home today seen two red foxes slowly running on the trail right at me, about day break. I stopped, they kept coming. One of them ran within 10 feet of me and stopped. Come to find out, Sylvia told me that golfers have been feeding the foxes. This does not seem good for their long term survival. Tough day at work the next three days and then I am on vacation for 3 weeks.

Early morning, nice morning, Every morning this past several months I have seen a wife and husband. One is on roller blades and the other on a bike. Every other day they switch, the other on a bike and the othr on roller blades. From a distance, they are both weariing head lamps, if you just look at the lights swaying to and fro, it looks like some sort of alien machine movie, terminate the runner 4. Every morning both of them say good morning and I respond back with good morning. It will be interesting to see if they continue this morning adventure when the weather turns colder. I am quite impressed with their dedication. Often I run 8 miles in the morning and see them in both directions. I would guess they are covering over 10 miles each morning. It seems kind of odd, but, good for them.
May run a mile or two on thursday. Stay confident, stay strong, do no waiver from the mission at hand.

Race Weekend Adventure:
Pasta Party: Great to meet the Fast Running Bloggers, I have never seen so many skinny people in one place at the same time, fit and tough bunch. Specail Congrads to Paul, OTQ, wow. Also, congrads to all the other Bloggers, it was a victory for all, effort is what counts.
Pre-Planning: Meeting James at the 3:10 start did not work out, likely good thing for me. I may have been toast before half way at the 1:35 pace. Ran with the 3:20 pacing group until about mile 11. Several of the first few miles were ran between 7:12 and 7:15, the pacer was banking time in the bank for Veyo. At mile 11 the pacer was back on a 7:11 pace, decided to let them go rather than get burnt out with the hope of catching them on the downhill. At half way, 1:42, slower than I wanted. Ran a little under a 1:40 for the second half. Although not quite as fast as I had hoped, right on Sasha's race time predictor. I was very happy with the effort as this was my age 50 plus PR. (I will be 57 next month) There is no doubt I can get back to a sub 3:10 with losing a few pounds, better diet and smart training next year.
Space Cowboy: I hear 3 or 4 spectators call my name during the race, only spotted Toby Salazar yelling. Nice to hear you name.
Award Note: This is the first year St. George has went from 10 awards per division to 8. My luck, missed 8th by 8 seconds. 9th out of 186 in my division. Well, you never know, I will get them next year.
Sylvia: she is very consistent every year, 3: 49.
Long Time Running buddies report: Frank and Brett ran 3:18s together. Colleen defended her 1st place in the women's 55 to 59 age group, awesome time of 3:26. Sheldon, appears to have DNFed, had and stomach muscle injury, Colleen says he was stopped at mile 14 walking.
Ten Year Club Dinner: This was Sylvia's 11th and my 15th St. George. The dinner is always great to watch everyone become part of the club. Colleen was so nice to me with saying how well I did. Anyway, I may add more to this blog, we just got home.
Again, nice to meet everyone and the Pasta part and a special thanks to the host. MikL.
