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: |

| Easy run north along the river past Gardner Village and back to 4800 south and home. Ran on the dirt as much as possible. Nice even avg pace of 8:48 for the run. It will likely take a few weeks for my body to adjust to the higher miles. Very nice running morning. |

Early morning run, north and back home along the parkway. Did three 40 yrd striders over short hills. Felt real good today. Avg. pace per Garmin 8:49. Odd thing, my legs felt pretty good, thought I was moving much faster than the Garmin indicated. Anyway, maybe it is the mental daze of running that early in the morning when still half asleep.
Lunch time run, treadmill, 7:45 pace, upper body circuit weights, hamstring curls on the excercise ball, IT band hig stretches.

Blacksheep workout today. Fun group, nice of them to let us old timers (myself, Colleen and Harry) to tag along in the rear. It really gives us a good workout, this is a fast bunch. Workout today was at the city cemetary, how appropriate. It was good we did it today instead of on Wednesday, we may not have returned. Glow sticks were set out at the 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 mile marks. The first runner to the 1/4 glow stick turned around and headed back to the start. As the first runner who turned round passrd you, you turned around and headed back to the start. We did it the same way for the 1/2 and 3/4. Hung on fairly well the first 1/4, then they got progressively tougher with me finishing further behind. There is no doubt from this workout, hills are the key, I need to get stronger on the hills. There was a real animal leading today, strong runner, didn't know him, but, cranked them up the hills.
The workout was suppose to be at marathon pace, but, it was a harder effort for me than marathon pace. Good running fun. Blogger Chad was one of the lead runners.
Hey, you never know where you will not meet people. Look at my picture, the runner to the right is Dee, out of town runner blogger. We were right next to each other and have never met in person.
May run another 4 miles easy at lunch today. _ Ran 4 miles with Colleen at lunch today, 8:10 pace. Surprised that our legs handled the workout this morning with a lunch time run. I hope this means we are getting in better shape.

| Easy run, slow and slower. Stepped in a small pot hole today and minor twist of the ankle, happened at about 2 and 1/4 miles, finished the run. Ran into a herd of Women Walker/Talkers today. 8 of them all talking in a frenzy as they walked, taking up both sides of the trail. They had no clue I was headed right at them, in my right lane. They did not move an inch or miss a word of frenzy/gossip talk. I skimmed by them on the right brushing two of them. I not sure they even noticed. Next time, I need a plan, maybe yell, did you hear Jane was out side, yada, yada, yada..... |

Early morning run, easy, being careful on semi-twisted ankle. Nice morning. Can a person gain 5 pounds in one night of passing out candy? I guess you should not eat one for each one passed out. At about 9 p.m, the last tricker treater hit the jackpot.

Stars in the sky, two shadows, nice morning, second run at lunch today. Although each run is unique, it is often difficult to describe what makes it so. Crisp feel to the air, tips of the fingers feeling the cold within the thin gloves, leaves are the trail a tell a story of the winter to come and the summer that has passed, the leaves also can be slippery with the morning dew providing for caution. When we really think about each run, they really are unique and keep us coming back for more.
Back to serious running business: Decision to make, run 4 miles and lunch with running buddies, slow pace, or complete some 1/4 repeats on the treadmill? Maybe both.
Lunch decision made: Ran 1 mile on the treadmill easy t warmup, 8:20 pace, ran 1.25 miles at a 6:40 pace / .5% grade. good effort. Ran another 4 miles easy with Colleen, Dianaml, Davey and John. Nice easy run on a fall day thru the park at North West Multi Purpose Center. Legs are holding up well with the mileage increase.

Nice fall run, ran the first three miles with Sammy and Sylvia, Sammy was kind of dragging today. Stopped and talked to a runner named Mike that knows Sasha. Also stopped and talked to Troy and Rob, two grandslam runners. We took Sammy home after three miles and went out for another 4. Syliva felt great today, she chicked two men runners, one of them wearing a St.George marathon shirt. I will let he tell the story, kind of funny. Syvia led us on some fartlek along the dirt trail by the river.
Note, 68 mile week. |
