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: |

Ran with my dog Sammy this morning. She was quite upset that we left her with our son for a few days. It usually takes her a few days to not be uspet. It felt great to just get out and run this morning. From reading some of the blogs, I would really like to know more about the tinman workouts. I wonder, who is the tinman, has he written a book I could buy?
Now the important things: The extended family of runners on the blog has been great with comments. There is no doubt, form OTQ qualifers, elite runners, faster than fast runners, age division contenders, BQs, novice and beginners; we can all appreciate the effort given to reach for goals. Sometimes goals are reached, sometimes they are not, that does not alter the journey of dedication and training to give yourself the best opportunity.
With running and life, it is important to remember that the journey is what makes the goals worth reaching.
B and S of BSRools will not be making entries on the blog beginning friday for about 11 days, we are taking a long vacation to Hawaii. (We will still be running every morning to the Diamond Head overlook to watch the surfers and reflect how great life is. I love this run, retraces some of the steps from running the Honolulu marathon three times and also allows me to run with no goals, just enjoy). |

Easy run, no real hot spots, a couple of twitches, 9:12 pace, half the run on dirt trail. The blog traffic must have been at an all time high yesterday.
It is kind of funny, St. George is now done and gone. Me and Sylvia spent 1 hour yesterday talking about how we would get some high altitude hill training next year. We are going to check out some dirt roads and trails up by my daughter's house in Marin, close to Kamas. Picking up two or three minutes going from mile 7 to mile 11 is big. "Always training for the George".
The Northern Bloggers, moose on the loose, have the plan, running up and down the TOU course.

Runner's High, Higher than High the last few days. Coming down to earth now. Scotty, beam me back up.
Down to earth notes: Sheldon, long time running buddy, DNFed, had to quit at mile 17, at St. George and may have a pelvic fracture, Colleen indicates he was almost in tears today. He has had a very hard time the last three years trying to get past injuries.
Running in the fall weather is fantastic. The run this morning, scared the begeppers out of me, a 3 point buck jumped onto the wood boardwalk right in front of me and leaped to the other side. It was quite a site. The weather was great this morning, what a time to reflect on the past running year and to start looking forward to base training and how to approach next year.
Always Training for the George: Myself, Sylvia, Colleen and Harry are going concentrate on 1/2 marathons as long runs next year with a couple of warmup miles and a few cool down miles. (Based on Sasha comments to James and related to his training plan breaking 2:30) Also, some high altitude hill training is in order, maybe the rail trail, Wanship up to Park City and back. We are looking for a running group name, something other than the old running farts. Harry is 71 and can still run a 21:20 for a 5K and Colleen has won her divisiion at St.George in 07 and 06 (55-59). Maybe, fast old farts? No, that name does not work. Any suggestions?
St.George Recovery: No injuries and no pep in the step. I hope all the bloggers have a great off-season of base mile running and getting ready for next year. Those runners still racing, good luck at the races, especially the Paul and Logan.
B of BS Rools out - Mile Stone: Run today put me over 2,000 miles for the year.

Nice, legs feeling better, altered between a 8:15 to 8:30 pace with a couple of stops to stretch. I also wore my magic running shoes from St. George.
Bloggers take care, I'm off for the beach.

Early morning run to the Diamond Head overlook and back to the hotel. Several smells caught my nose, the trade winds blowing the breeze from the ocean, the city cars, the flowers, the street cleaners. Although this is Hawaii, I do miss the friendly runners along the parkway. I said hi to several runners, no even a nod. Great to be here. I will call all the kids and get going on our first day of adventure.
We all went to cultural center today, very good time.

Ran with Sylvia thru Alomoana Park. Nice run past the fisherman and homeless.
Boogie boarding was a blast today at BellowAF Beach. I got a good sting from a Jelly Fish (Portuguise man-0-war) Everyone had a great time. (My two daughters and hubbies, Syliva's son and wife with 2 year son). Great time on the beach. |
