APRIL FOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  (I originally put that I ran 223.75 miles today.)

Seriously though. I rode my bike to work.

*AM Ride*

Distance: 17.53 miles

Time: 1:04:24

Avg. speed: 16.33 mph

Max speed: 23.5 mph

*PM Ride*

Distance: 17.53 miles

Time: 1:10:43

Avg. speed: 14.9 mph

Max speed: 22.6 mph

On the way home I have about a 150 foot climb in 6 miles before I turn and go south.  Today the climb felt so easy.  I thought I must be getting really strong.  Then when I turned south I realized why it was so easy.  Major wind pushing me.  Going home the remaining 11.5 miles in the wind was not fun.

Way to go Burt! 223.75 - Top of the mileage chart for the week!

That is a pretty good time on the bike as well.

From Michelle N. on Wed, Apr 01, 2009 at 12:39:51 from 75.162.116.100

You ought to change it to something like 90 miles so that you have everyone on the blog checking it because that is actually realistic. You'd have like 600 monthly visits at the top:)

From Eric Day on Wed, Apr 01, 2009 at 13:35:11 from 189.192.114.137

Go Burt, go Burt, go Burt

From Lucia on Wed, Apr 01, 2009 at 13:47:14 from 74.9.147.114

Wow, talk about an ultrarunner! :)

From allie on Wed, Apr 01, 2009 at 14:08:48 from 208.110.141.10

you deserve the rest of the month off

From Jon on Wed, Apr 01, 2009 at 14:37:21 from 138.64.2.76

Sweet!

From Kelli on Wed, Apr 01, 2009 at 16:20:31 from 71.219.100.181

At least you spelled rode right!

Good job.

From james on Wed, Apr 01, 2009 at 16:36:44 from 155.101.96.171

Oh man, you took my idea.

From Burt on Wed, Apr 01, 2009 at 16:57:21 from 68.76.197.194

Mike - No one's gonna touch that.

Michelle - 223.75 is totally realistic.

Eric - I'm like Forrest Gump.

Lucia - Nevels and Crocket got nothing on me.

Allie - I've already had enough time off.

Jon - Like Napoleon Dynamite sweet?

Kelli - what are you talking about? Did I spell the rest of the words wrong?

James - you snooze, you lose, my friend. Besides, had you done it, people would believe it.

From edrickt on Wed, Apr 01, 2009 at 18:05:03 from 64.2.220.135

You should have just added a zero and topped the mileage board for the year. Nice job!

From Kelli on Wed, Apr 01, 2009 at 18:24:40 from 71.219.66.112

I did not even notice the miles, I wondered what everyone was talking about. FUNNY.

I spelled rode wrong yesterday, that is all.
