I've been really impressed lately with the cross training Eightkidmom has been having to do because of her injured back.  She recently started water running.

I don't think she's doing it right.

Time - 26:50 (avg. pace 8:57)

Splits - 8:53, 8:57, 9:00

Mizuno Wave Inspire 4 Silver/Old Gold/Phantom Miles: 3.00

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Oh Burt! You are ca-razy! LOVE the pics, BTW. That is EXACTLY how I water-run...in my dreams. I've been working on adding that extra holiday weight, too. Food poisoning sort of ruined it for me, but I'm making up for it tonight by polishing off a box of See's chocolate. I'll tell you my little secret...post the weight when it looks good, and "forget" to post it when it doesn't. Works for me. :)

P.S. Thanks for the great ab workout I had when I laughed my guts off upon seeing the pics you posted. Should I add that to my blog?

I just made your picture my profile pic on facebook... :D

Too Funny!!!

From Burt on Wed, Dec 30, 2009 at 11:09:32 from 98.177.216.165

Ha Cathy! I conveniently forget to post weight sometimes, too. Glad you had a good chuckle. Definitely worth blogging about. Should count for a couple of miles.

Ben - very talented wife you got there.

Burt - was your three miles, parting of the sea? In the barrel? Does not sound good - head hunters, tarred and feathered, keel hauling, burned at the stake, walk the plank, over the falls in a barrel?

Hey, what has happened to the oriental woman and pot guts? Also, are you staying away from running rage?

From Burt on Wed, Dec 30, 2009 at 18:03:34 from 206.19.214.144

I haven't seen them for a while, Brent. But I'll always have the rage. Mr. McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

From auntieem on Wed, Dec 30, 2009 at 18:23:38 from 24.17.177.218

Yes, she's totally doing it wrong! But she looks like she's having way more fun than me in my pool running sessions.

From allie on Wed, Dec 30, 2009 at 21:16:47 from 98.202.119.100

it's a pool running miracle.

Hilarious!!!!!

Burt and Teena, funny, have not posted on the blog in some. Hope you both are doing well and training well. Still running races and doing triathlons. Take care - B of BS Rools out If you want to be friends on face book that would be great. (Brent Barney)

From Burt on Sat, Jan 30, 2016 at 16:25:06 from 97.117.237.226

Keep up the good work, Brent. If you don't, you'll get fat like me. :)
