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 from the hotel, 5 a.m., around the Diamond head overlook and back around where the hike starts for the old military watch station. It rained for about ten minutes, stopped and watched the surfers for a few minutes. |

Ran the first 1.55 miles with Sylvia and Bonnie. Bonnie is our daughter in-law. She has a very good candence and gate to her running. Very efficient for a part time runner. It left them and ran further west for another 1.5 miles to a pier, watch tower, and retraced my steps back to the hotel. It is different running with humidity. I always think it will be easier, no the case.
We went to the North Shore, snorkled and rode bikes. There we several turtles in the water and one basking on the beach. Ty, the little grand son had a great time. |

Ran to the Diamond head overlook, watched surfers, went back to the hotel and picked up Sylvia and Taylor for another 3 miles over to Alomoana Park and back. Taylor really struggled. He trained with me and his mother and ran the St. George marathon in 2005 (3:41). He has not kept up his conditioning. He made an interesting comment, he thought, maybe because we are older, he could just keep up with us. Good to get a little runner respect.
We went snorkling at Hunama Bay and then to Pearl Harbor, fun packed day. |

| Nike town run. The Nike town store is just 1/2 mile from our hotel accross the park. The run usually features a 3, 4.4 and 5.5 mile run. Before the start of the run talked to Gerry Lindgren. I have met him before at the Nike run. He has been injured and was only running the 3 mile run. Anyway, always good to talk to a past great runner. I decided to run with the 4.4 mile group. At the start, you cannot tell who is in what group until you reach the turnaround point. I started out towards the front of the pack, about 60 runners. I decided I would use this as a fartlek type speed workout. Good effort, a couple of 3/4 miles at 6:15 pace. |
