The transistion to the back of the pack has not been easy, but, acceptance, stay in the game, root for others, enjoy the rest of the journey. Another off the bucket list second = Provo Half IM - have done 6 open water Tris and 6 pool Tris. Gave the STG IM a good Tri, hope to take another shot at the IM.

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: |

Little time, work hard, 1 minute warmup TM, 8:34 pace, then 1 mile 6% grade at 8:34 pace, nice effort on semi tired legs, spin bike 22.2 mph, 4.44 miles. Hope to get another workout afte work. My goal, get stronger and stronger legs, can't be fast, be the tortoise.
Goal, be able to run 5 miles at 7% incline, no stops at 8 min mile pace, simulate hills. Goal date 1 May - Second goal, place in my division in a running race again, some time this year. Ramble on, although the knee is trouble, no reason I can't work around the knee and get moving.
*Note, ran the 1.15 miles witout the knee brace, no trouble after.

TM, 2 miles at 9:30 pace, 3% grade, not my day, yesterday seems so far away, I believe in yesterday, without Lennon. I have a great black and white book of the beatles. Time marches on my friends, we thought the good times would never end, those were the days, without Archie.
Brick workout in the morning.
