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: |

Brick - 30 minutes spin - 10 miles, hop off and ran 3 miles on Milly - 8:49 pace with a 3% grade. Knee felt good, wish I would have had more time to run. Much talk about sweat while on Milly, did may share of watering the equipment today. Hopefully, things will not start to grow, transformer TMs.

Early morning run or ice skate running, slipping and a sliding along, Bird of prey, looked like Praire Falcon, eating a finch while setting on our back fence. Birds of prey come down the runner bottoms in the winter.

Rambling Post - Boring Read - not on the best blog list for today.
Spin again, spinning wheels, arrived at 5 a.m, spin 45 minutes before the class starts, good combo interval/hill workout. Class was somewhat boring, getting tired of spinning. We had 6 newbies in the class today, the New Year's resolutions are starting, hope they stick with it.
Break in spinning - wrapped all the X-mas presents I have bought - took about three hours, nice to be done. Family X-mas party tonight, should be fun. Sylvie is getting running gear - sports bra, arm warmers, two running dri fit jackets, biking shorts, socks and a year gym member ship. She is way spoiled. I bought my step son two tires for his truck yesterday, x-mas present, he is a sad case, his work really slows in bad weather. Anyway, ramble on and on to no end.
Spin again, 1 hour, total 52 miles for the day, one set - curls, bench press, shoulders - 1 min. wall sqat. My lack of motivation was fed today by a trip to Great harvest - brownie and cookie today, the Tri girl was not working today, she is fun to talk Tris - miss running gab.
Someone mentioned crap on their blog today, probably Kelli, well, tired of weather cold as dog crap. Frozen dog crap on the parkway trail that is.
