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: |

64 miles spinning, 3 hrs 12 min. 20mph, tired butt - I'll be glad to get back running outside in a few days. Colts are awesome.

Milly Miles - gut check, legs and body tired from yesterday's spinning, 5 miles at 9:45 pace at 3% incline. Spin 1.1 miles to get the legs recovered from running. Running is so darn hard in the winter, tough at 4:15 a.m. on the treadmill.
*Note, always befuddles me, one day you can run at a 8:10 pace, 3% incline and 4 days later you are lucky to run faster than a turtle.

Spinning class, arrived 45 minutes early, total 35 miles - home spinning another 20 miles, may run a few miles this afternoon with Sylvie. The ice on the road and parkway is not too inviting for running. May need to break out my trail shoes.
Gottee report - Co-worker Inez - you look distinguished - what does the mean, must be better than you look like an old fart? Lady at the book store - you look familar? Admiral Zumwalt would be proud, first grew the gottee in the Navy.
Swimming - bagged the pool today - shoulder bugging me from the pushup challenge yesterday.
Sylvie has decided we are running on the parkway today, have our picture taken by Cameron and send it out with X-mas cards. I think it would be entertaining to run in shorts and a singlet.

Book Report - Just bought Stones into Schools - same author as Three cups of Tea (Greg Mortensen), hope the book is half as good and it will be great.
Running with Sylvie getting Cameron taking Xmas card photos, 1.1 mile, we raced Cameron home, he drove we ran, he just beat us by 30 seconds.

First Step on a winter wonder land - couldn't sleep 4:30 a.m. - adorned winter running garb - out the door expecting a couple inches of new snow, just a skiff of snow, enough to add a while pillow layer - the sky with cresent moon - white clouds shaping anything in your imagination - bestest run when my steps are the first for miles and miles on the pillow layer of snow.
First steps on the JPT- those runners who follow later in the day, what do they wonder about those lone steps in the snow for miles? What time did this runner run? midnight witching hour, break of dawn - was this runner man or woman, did the runner have a goatee? Was the runner a ghost snow runner? What do the steps reveal?
Those who like stats - not much take on stats - ran 7.25 miles, was going to stop at 5.25, added a couple of more miles - no bread crumbs needed - found my way back home. Off to the gym for a spinning class - 25 miles of intervals - good class - legs have a funny feeling - kind of like the feeling at 10 miles in a half marathon, your legs are getting done, but you push on and push on.
Upper body weights, crunches, pushups, wall squats - my legs are pretty well trashed by this reverse brick.
