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: |

60 miles spinning, convert o 15 miles cross training, 3hours, 300 ball crunches. It is darn hard to sit on a bike for three hours, just need that aerobic base.

Have you ever had a day where you almost wimp out? Today, almost got negative commando points. Arrived at my work gym, rode the spin bike for 30 minutes, almost packed it in and did not do the treadmill hill workout, making excuses like I will do it tomorrow, my running shoes are dirty, my running clothes don't have enough red, the workout sounds too hard, etc. It took a few minutes to silent chant - no guts no glory, no guts not glory. Although no glory expected, get pshyed. Anyway, put on the running shoes, did three 1 mile progressive repeats. 8:30 pace starting at 1.5% include and moving up .5% every quarter mile. Goal next week is 4 miles. How time changes, this workout would have been nothing for me a couple of years ago. Anyway, nice to move forward with a positive run.
The moon was out this morning, can't miss that morning run tomorrow.

I'm being followed by a moon shadow, moon shadow, without Cat. Special morning, cooler an crisper, full moon to the west guiding me with her light. The rising river fog was speaking in ancient tounge letting me know that I was a welcome visitor. A couple of centuries ago, the running visitor would be an indian seeking game. The river has seen if all, listen close. Running at 4 a.m., love running when no other people on the parkway. When we first moved 12 yrs ago, runs during the middle of the day would often not yeild a soul except the runner.
Great start to the day, Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out - Spinning tonight. |

Tough day - 34 miles, spinning class, intervals and hill climb, good class. 8.08 miles on the parkway. Very nice day, ran mostly along side the trail, in the dirt covered by a nice blanket of leaves, seen a few lookie lous bikers, dog walkers, 4 runners and a group of serious women race walking (have seen them several times). All runners said hi today, it must be the great day that brings out smiles and miles.
One comment, always tough to hard spin and then run, just what I need for Tri practice and to simulate long runs without doing long runs, yesterday was a hard hour of biking, avg HR 152, followed by today. There are days I ask myself, why am I doing this? Thank goodness this thought is fleeting and I am on to the next challenge.
