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: |

Slow day, worked from home part of the day. 1 hour on the nordic trak, upper body weights. I have been at the weights, every other day for two months, not trying to gain much bulk. I am slowly moving up the weight and added another 5 lbs to the bench press. First set 12 reps and second set 8 reps.
Knee status: I have decided to take a few weeks off running and see if the knee will get more stable. One thing I have noticed, not running is helping reduce the pain when walking. No plan to give up running. I will start back in a few weeks and work up to two days a week.
blogger note, I have lost touch with what is happening with some of the bloggers with being busy at work and not running much. Sylvie says I look in great shape, no where my age of 58.

I am all croxxed up cross training, The old days in the gym: I arrived at my work fitness center, a lady, Dona was on my favorite treadmill. In the past, I would always beat her to this treadmill, if someone got on a treadmill next to me, it was a game to stay on the treadmill longer than they did. This often lead to many extra miles. Today, Dona was on the treadmill before I arrived, did my hour on the Excercise bike, 22.13 miles, and Dona was still running. Darn, things have sure change quickly.

Park Centre Spin class this morning. Good effort 65 minutes, short intervals today. 1 hour Nordic trak, upper body weights.
Kinda of a boring day so far, raked leaves, took out the garbage, played with the neighbor dog and watched ESPN Mark May and Lou Holtz say Utah was over rated, yada, yada, yada. I am so tired of ESPN commentors. My day will pick up when Sylvie gets home.
*Note about the spin class, an older Please follow Fast Running Blog policy regarding vulgar language than me showed up today. The class is a real mix: The instructor is a hard core biker chick, her friend another hard core biker chick, 3 young out of shape high school girls, 3 out of shape older ladies, 1 guy who had a marathon shirt and another guy who had never been on a spin bike. The instructer spent half the class getting the 3 young girls and the guy going. I'm glad a showed early or it would have been a crappy workout.
