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: |

Late afternoon bike ride. Very nice day for an moderate pace bike ride, many dogger walkers, bikers and a couple of runners. t that easy. It is sad to see winter come, yet, happy to see my new grandson soon on his way. I love the holidays, xmas especially. I have put on 8 pounds since St. George. Not running really cuts down the burning of calories. I am going to run two days this week, likely in the morning and on friday morning. My avg time, areobic, 90 minutes a day this week.
Day Dream Believer, without the Monkeys, much of my time riding the bike is spent day dreaming about past races and the fun of running. It is good that memories cannot be taken away, I am a day dream runner.
Much chatter on the blog this week about Nevel's 100 mile run, quite a feat.

30 min spin bike, 30 min. elip. - hamstring excercise ball , ball squat, knee straight leg stretch, upper body weights. Basement weights, bench press, curls, side lifts. Nice to have enough room to a spin bike, nordic track and weights and cable TV. I would rather be running.

Early morning ride, 50 minutes, 10 min. eliptical. Darn, my ipod battery went dead. Well, got it charged and added a few songs off Sylvie's play list. I am darn old school, hard to find new songs that rock. I load a couple of Lance Armstrong workout songs.

Fat boy, rolley polley, etc. I have gained 9 pounds since St.George, time to start a diet and lose that darn weight. I am eating the same when I was running 70 mile weeks, calories just don't get burned cross training.

Friday spin class, good workout. This class is getting a little funner now I am getting to know a few regulars. As ususal, I am the oldest in the class, class age ranges from 16 to 57.
Second half of the workout, 62 minutes on the Nordic trak, low impact, general cardio workout. Bench press - set of 12 (heavy as I could lift, second set same weight 6 reps) Curls same as the bench press set, the two sets of side lifts (don't know the correct name)
I am going to try running again on Dec 1, two days a week,
Sylvie Report - ran 5 miles yesterday, she is generally healed from the fall except for her wrist.
