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: |

Dixe palms, arrived early, spin 1hr solo, then spinning class, ran West Canyon of Snow with Sylvie, good 8 mile trail run. Sylvie pushed me for the entire run, running when tired is always crazy fun. Seen two golden eagles as we ran down the canyon, one perched just 20 feet on a red rock legde above us, beautiful site.

Last day of a great year, happy, love, great family, really appreciate my life and family.
Deseret Palms, 5 a.m., spin 1 hr before class, spinning class, kind of boring, spin another hour before another spinning class. I had heard on several occassions of the rock star spin instructor, well had to experience for myself. Steve O class started at 8 a.m, had already been spinning for 3 hrs, about 45 minutes before the class, holding fifty bikes, people started to arrive, now, funny thing, they were not warming up for spinning, not tuning their instruments, the were waiting for hte rock star to take stage, anticipation, awesome feeling, almost like waiting for a race, concert, or some big event to start, what the heck I was thinking, the rock star steve arrived, without nickel back, du rage, live strong warm up suit, STG irom man shirt, the crowd started cheering, what the heck, what the heck, no BS, the class was on. If a spin class video could sell, this would be the one. The spin class acted as one on Steve's command, like we had practiced this 100 times. Nicole, spinning next to me, was in awe, smiling, cranking out the workout, yes, I said this is the rock star of spinning, she said: we are a couple.
My favorit part of the class, take not prisioners, if your a new year resolutionist and don't keep it, be offended, we don't want you here unless you keep it up.
I hope that I get the change for another Du Rag Rock Star spinning class. Lastly, the next class was waiting in the hall for his next concert, 60 strong, wild.
