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: |

Kapalenie Park to Diamond Head overlook and around the park. Wore myself out chasing Sylive, felt good to be tired. Running club doing a long run for Honolulu marathon, brings back memories of running it 3 times, 1 hour spinning, brought 3 great Tri shirts, hot tub, pool, shopping, relax, read, mellow out.

Raw Running Thoughts (RRT) - tought to accept decline in running speed and ability, legs only have so many miles. Positive side, can run more that 2 days a week without knee trouble if on soft surfaces, we have ran about 70% on grass on packed sand. My slowness really hit me when I was listed as second to last in STG running time for bloggers. The blog is fast running blog, hum? Another RRT - many top runners have hit the pieces falling apart at a much younger age than myself, wonder if the hard core 100+ miles contributed to the wonder years of running closing early. Lastly, never feel sorry for yourself, move on, do what you can. We stayed at teh Hale Koa, a military hotel. There were some disable veterans, WWII vets, etc. great americans. The hot tub conversation with these veterans is priceless. |

Stayed up late last night, late start running, hot and humid, the tourists were out in full force, weaving and bobbing like a boxer, close calls, near knockouts, clueness tourists in a daze, wrong way walkers, free weights, crunches.
Paradise Cove Laua, fun time.

RRT - many years running with Sylive, slowing down to run with her, she does not slow down for me, chasing her is my way of keeping motivated, never stop on a hill, keep her running honest. If we are on grass, can give her a good run. |

No running, day off, spin 1 hour, crunches, swimming a few laps, romance, paid the singer at the beach to play James Taylor, "How sweet it is to be loved by you" Always goot to get commando points with Sylvie.
Hunama Bay snorkel and Bellows AFB boogie boarding, caught some good waves, no jelly fish, sunburn city, beautiful day.

Kapoleni Park to Diamand Head Overlook and back, chasing Sylvie. Sylvie calls it the Sylvie push, if I ever get ahead of her, give it my best to not let her pass, dead dog tired, went ahead of hear going up the Diamond head hill, could hear her coming, did not let her pass me, maybe motivation is lacking, could pay someone to pant and run right behind me on ever run?

RRT - Stopped at the Scofield Barracks commissary, great buy on food. This brought back memories, 10 years ago, I signed us up for the Scofield barracks 10 miler on the day after we arrived in Hawaii, our legs were dead, we were running in waste deep peanut butter, we ran our slowest 10 miles in a race for ever, very hard to acclimate instantly to heat and humidity. |

RRT - homeless, quality of life, how did it happen, family? Seem a story on the news about a homeless shelter running group? Does the group stop at every dumpster or trashcan? Anyway, how many people make it back to normal society? |
