Man what a interesting morning. First woke up went to start my car and no turnover. So Jon meets me at my house we run for 50 minutes or so. Then we tried to jump my car and still no Bueno.

Anyway come to find out my fuel pump went again. Twice in the last 6 months, so I skip class at Weber because I have no way of getting there. Get my car towed, went with the tow truck driver, which I now feel terrible because I didn't even get his name. Went to the mechanic shop, $800 dollars later my car is working.

Ran home from the mechanic shop because I was bored and didn't want to wait.

Avg pace for my entire run

Was 7:05 min/avg

Wasn't the fuel pump still under warranty if it was only 6 months old?

Jeff it is still under warranty, I had the mechanic keep the part and I am taking it back to my other mechanic that fixed it and he said he would pay me back for the part. Not sure how much they are but hopefully I get some decent amount of money back.
