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: |

Cross train, 2 hours spin bike, 200 crunches, upper body free weights.
Marathon recovery, feel great, when was that marathon anyway? The knee is no worse for the effort. Post STG thoughts: get stronger on the uphills, concentrate my runs on the uphill, cannot do much downhill. It seems there must be a training plan for someone in my situation, how to get the legs ready for running a marathon under 4 hours, while running 20 or less miles a week. Maybe the physical therapist can help, surf the internet for training ideas. It would be nice to run with Sylvie at about a 3:45 to 4:00 pace. Me and Sylvie talked about running two marathons next year, a training marathon about 3 or 4 weeks before St.George and STG.
Waiting, not a good waiter, waiting for our ride to the airport. It will be fun in Hawaii.

Jet Lag Run - early morning, 4 a.m., still on MST, along the beach walk to Alomoana Park point and back, hot and humid, huffing and puffing. Fun to see the surfers waiting for wave. When when reached the turnaround point, two oriental men doing Ti Chi, one was churning butter and the other giving himself chest slap. These moves were over and over, concentration. Sylvie caught me setting in the bucket, got me to stop and get in Chi position.
B Rools often reacts on the moment. I ordered a sandwich, hand way too many onions, I just threw half the onions off the linai, 11 stories up. The onions hit no one, but, Sylive gave me the business. On the plane ride, the seats in front of us gave you the option to watch several different movies or play games, started playing battle star galactica, hitting buttons, was getting up to level 9, did not realize that I was banging the seat in front of me, had to apologize to the lady. Darn, could have made it past level 9.
Great to be on vacation in paradise. Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out |

Same run as yesterday, along the beach to Alomoana park and back, puddle jumping, weight workout in the gym, 200 crunches and 1 hour spinning. North shore, shark's cove snokeling, fun day. We at at Cholos in Haleava, walk along the beach at sunset. Finished "Once a Runner and started "What I talk about .... see my reading list. This book is a good read, reminds me of Kelli's blog where she is stark and honest about her running thoughs. I would highly recommend Once a Runner, got it off Benn's blog. *Note, I do not normally run 2 days in a row. Knee feels fine.
