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: |

Reverse Tri Brick - Fog/Inversion run 6 a.m, air tasted like metal. 5.25 miles - ok run to 45th south along the JRP and home, nothing eventful, no other runners, people or creatures. Upon arriving home, quickly jumped on the spinning bike for a 20 mile ride, 1 hour. Finished the Tri back going to the Murray Rec center, swam 1.1 miles in 64 minutes, backstroke with 2 laps free style. The cutoff time for the STG iron man swim is 140 miles for 2.2 miles. If I could maintain the same pace as today, would make the cutoff time. Total time working out just short of 3 hours.
Wa Wa report - knees are arch, don't like the cold weather.
Goatee report - my kids like the different look
Sylvie puppy surprise, took Cameron with me and picked up the puppy, bought food and took her to Amber's house. The little, big puppy (standard poodle) immediately peed on the hardwood floor. It has been tough to keep this from Sylvie.

Lazzzy again - almost bagged the workout - 10 miles on the spin bike moderate pace, before work - lunch time workout - adorned my ugly running outfit (ready for the trash) ran two miles on Milly, 7.1 pace at a 3% grade converts to 7:47 mile pace, hopped off, rode the bike for 4 miles, hopped back on the treadmill and ran half mile at 8.0 pace at 3% incline - converts to 6:58 mile pace. Avg HR, a 159 - What will be built with these bricks - tower of power.
Once a Runner, what I think about while I'm running - no apology needed - Once upon a time, there was a runner, who would not recognize a runner unless they could run an 8 minute mile, this runner thought they cast a big shadow - the shadow now only appears by the grace of the moon. So goes the cycle of life and running - keep after the chase.

Snow running - about three inches - ran along the Jordan Parkway 4 miles north and home. Snow running is fun, tough, easy on the knee. I seen one other runner when entering the trail, said hi and moved along. The run is described in many ways - lone calm snowy run, tough as heck picking up the feet with every step, beautiful snow covered trees. *Note, did not stop durning the run - work on that mental and physical endurance.
I may spin and lift weights later today, chores need to be done - shoveling snow, last minute X-mas shopping, wrapping a few presents, eat an eat some more and read a few blogs. I may work on my running scrapbook, I am two years behind, start a new book, either Stones to Schools or The Time Traveler's wife. Lastly, call a few freinds and wish them Merry Christmas.
