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: |

20 miles, spinning, medium hill ride, trying to simulate the ride up to Gunlock. Funny thing at the gym, a young lady was doing all these exercises with a soccer type heavy ball, back and forth in front of me for the whole hour. Speed walk 4.29 miles, 13.5 mph pace, added a thin insert to the right shoe, seemed to help, jogged a few types during the walk.
Myself and Sylvie spent 3 hours tonight getting Xmas prensents divided. We pick up things all year long for the kids and grand kids, things the kids do not expect. It makes Xmas more fun.

Nice easy day, spent the morning putting together an xmas present and putting tires, tubes and valve extenders on the zipps. Now I have the hang of it, should not be too hard next time. The wheels are so pretty.
