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: |

Woke up early, spin bike for 2 hours, 250 crunches, went to the Rec Center, swam 1 mile. Likely swam 2 or 3 laps too far, lost count a couple of times. Ran 3 miles along the dirt trail by the river, very pretty day. When running, could hear a runner catching me, picked up the pace and held him off for the next mile until I turned around.

| Not up to par today, little under the weather, not often, it will soon pass. 48 minutes on the spin bike. A lady jumped on the treadmill, decided to do 1 mile on milly, ran 8:12 pace at 2.5% incline, felt fairly well. Hill workouts on milly, tough and boring, but pay big dividends. This will be one of my 2010 goals, work up to 10 miles at 7.5 pace at 2% incline by the SL Half. May go to a spinning class tonight, hopefully, Sylvie feels like going, she had oral surgery and has not ran for almost two weeks.
Spin class, good hill workout, instructor simulated a partial Lance Armstrong hill workout. The problem with this spin class, every time a new spinner comes to the class, the instructor (with good intentions) gives out the resume of each of us regular spinners. Often times, we never see the newbie again. The 4 regulars and instructor, myself 37 marathons, 2 Triathletes with over 75 tris between them, the instructor - mega bike rider la da ja, triple bipass, etc. Now, I can see where this may intimidate newbies. The new lady, 50 years old told me she had a heart attack two years ago and just started excercising. I encouraged her to keep coming, set next to me, etc. Hope she sticks with it.

Veterans Day - nice fall day, somewhat low energy, nice to put it in cruise control and reflect on times gone by. The leaves falling off the trees somehow fit the day as time moves on, memories are less focused, friends have passed on and time continues the endless March as men destroy men for reasons that never seem clear.
Veteran's day running shorts:
Before a few shorts are given, I am a Viet Nam Vet and served aboard a Guided Missle Destroyer and then servered in the Naval Reserve for 24 years. I have many good and not so good memories about military times gone by. Regardless of positions for or against any war, our service men deserve honor and respect. Our daily lives of getting in miles, yada, yada, yada, do not compare to the tough life and sacrifices of our service men and women.
A moment of silence for our fallen, with special prayers.
Just a few places where my running shoes have served:
Running on the hanger deck of the U.S.S Kitty Hawk
Along the coblestones of crete.
In endless laps round the main desk of the destroyer
Along Pearl Harbor where the Arizona and Big Mo look over the men entumed.
Sands of Deigo Garcia
Naval Hospital Oakland
Treasure Island overlooking the lights of San Fran bay
Germersheim, running with Army buddies
Countless PT tests, running 1.5 miles.

Early morning spinning class, arrived 45 minutes early to warn up, get some extra, good class, (32 miles) skip another day of running until feeling better.
Afternoon spinning, 30 miles, 400 ball crunchs, 77 pushups (one set, 90 degrees), bench press, curls, side lifts, pulls, 2 sets each. For whatever reason, strong on the curls today, two sets of 12, may be time to move the weight up. Happy with the 62 bike miles considering not feeling well today, felt like the workout helped me feel better.
