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: |

Spin bike 60 minutes, bench press, curls, side lifts. I may do some more cross training later in the day. Later in the day, another 60 minutes on the spin bike.
Yoga, as a male runner of many years, I am not very flexible. I spent about an hour reading a Yoga book, real men do yoga, and trying some of the moves. It is much easier just going to a yoga class and follow the instructor. We decided not to do the Boston marathon, Sylive has no real desire. We are going to Hawaii in October next year, already paid for the Air Fare and have the room reservations at the Hale Koa, 11 days. It will be a blast. This will be our 8th time going to Hawaii.
Knee report, knee no worse for the wear from yesterday's run. I wil likely run in the morning before work.

Two hour spin class with Sylive, big class. It is always interesting being the oldest in the class, on the run, etc. The spin instructor said when your pass 50 you essentially go down hill quick. Well, I don't think that is quite so, you can maintain a good level of fitness. The secret is stay consistent and make it a habit. Me and Sylvie kind of laughed at some of the comments, I think the class did not realize both me and Sylvie are well over 50.
43 miles on the bike, converted to 10.75 miles.
Bench press, curls, side lifts. Weight is holding at 160, down a couple of pounds.

90 minutes spin bike, early, waiting for Sylive, for the day to warm up.
Ran 4.5 miles with Sylvie and Sammy. Dog lovers, Sammy was upstairs, she heard the word "go" for a run, from Sylive. Sammy flew down the stairs doing 2 three hundred and sixty degree turns, she really wanted to go for a run. It was real cute, as Sylvie said it rather soft, but, the word "go" means we are going for a run.
Run, the trail had a light cover of snow pack, about 1 inch, just right for the knee.
As Will and Benn, what a great day for a run.
