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: |

Spinning 60 minutes, feel better today. A runner needs to run -
What I think about when I should be running - days of old - races - hard days- how can I train harder/smarter? Well smarter may be out, just train harder, ramp up the gut checks.

Brick day - ran 2 miles on Milly, 2% grade at 9 min pace, spin clas 25 miles interval workout, good class. The run was tough, first run in two weeks, coughing like crazy after. Time to starting building back up again - do some run, ride, run bricks to get ready for the race in Feb.
Non running stuff- our dog Sammy passed away last summer, our 5 kids have decided to get a puppy, standard poodle for Sylvie as a XMas present. It will be tough to keep the secret, we are going to look at a couple puppies on friday. Sylvie will be upset at first, she is not over the loss of Sammy, but, she will soon love the dog, she is great with dogs and she needs a new running partner.

Back 2 Back Spinning classes, arrived 20 minutes early, two hard core spinning intructers today, very good hard workout, legs are a shakey, similar to the feel after a half marathon. Including myself, two other spinners stayed for the second class, both bonked with about 15 minutes left. Surprisingly, one of the bonkers was adorned in fancy Pearl Izumi shorts and shirt, clothes don't measure fitness, just snow bunnies. *Note, Kelly the second instructor was wearing a La Da Jay shirt, tough rider. It always feels good once the workout or run is done, 50 miles of farily hard riding, yeh, get an extra piece of Marie Calendar Coconut Cream pie.

Spinning Wheels again - 2 hours, 41 miles, converted to 10 crosstraining miles. Highlite of the day - picked out an apricot standard poodle puppy to Sylvie. Very cute female dog. Upper body free weight workout out.
More non-running stuff - Sylvie has a Cat clock, Tristan our grandon pulled the clock off the way, crash to the floor. Tristan is 10 months old, grapped the swinging tail as his day was carrying him. Boys will be boys.
