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: |

Diamond head hill work out, up one side, down and back up, good hill run. Several thousand runners doing the Race for the Cure, smell of sweet trade winds, stink of sweaty clothes, odd smell when combined.

RRT - sitting on the beach, watched the siloette of 3 people walking toward teh ocean during sunset, they disappeared into water (it seemed) seemed a fitting way for the last night in paradise. |

Moto, Moto, motivatin - was not going to run, last day in paradise, knee was kind of bugging me all night. Sylvie says - I'm going, last day in paradise, could not let her go without me, actually had my best run of the vacation, paced Sylvie on step ahead. Best fun - had a male running go by me towards the end, sped up and stayed right on his heals for about 600 yards, looked at my Garmin, about a 6:56 pace. Sylive laughed when I took off chasing him, great fun, pace not nuch to boast about, brought back memories of old where I would let know one pass me on a run without a fight to exhuastion. Funning thing, the guy did not know I was right on his heals, was wearing an Ipod.

RRT - my running outfit looks like a ninga warrior, black calf sleeves, knee sleeve, blue shoes with red non tie laces, red shirt, sun glasses - feels good to look foolish and tough. |

Back to back spinning classes, good workout. The first class was all women except for me. Tina, the instructor made a big deal out of me showing up, "I am so honored to have BS Rools here". Others is the class had not clue what she was talking about, they likely think I'm a big BSer. The second class, IRON man la da jay roadie, always a good class. Got some tips on swimming, may attend a few master classes.

Spin, 21.2 miles, good effort, avg HR, first 30 minutes 140, last 30 = 127. Hopefully, weights later today. Tough to get back into working out after the natural mental relaxing from STG and from being on vacation.

RRT = already thinking about how to more effectively train for STG, start hill workouts tomorrow.

Brick Day - Early, the cat meowing, 4a.m, got up, ready, hit the spin class at 5 a.m., rode for 45 minutes before the class started, good interval workout, good effort, 2 guys and 6 ladies.
I had planned on swiming after spinning, Murray high swim team had the pool, scratch that idea unless the Jordan river, nay, went running for 8.2 miles along the parkway, slow pace, a skiff of PB on the trail.
Pushup challenge, entered a pushup challenge at work, 24 entries, $5 to sign up, all those that can do 100 pushups by 1 Dec 2009 split the pot. I did 30 last night, may not make it to 100.
