It was 50° out this morning!  Why is it so cold?  Oh yeah.  It's November.  Today I ran down the canal since Marathon Dreamer told me she misses talking my ear off.  No Wes, MD does not  live in AZ or Mazatlan.  I ran down  the east side of the canal south to Guadalupe and ran back on the west side (said in lame white boy wannabe gangsta voice.)  About a tenth of a mile before I turned around I saw another guy run on to the canal road.  I followed him for a mile.  We were running close to the same pace.  He had to stop for traffic trying to cross Baseline Road.  I almost caught up to him, but as soon as he saw my shadow he surged ahead.  I chuckled to myself and for a brief moment thought about giving chase.  That would have creeped him out I'm sure.  He turned around at Southern Ave., and I gave him a friendly wave.  He gave me the thumbs up.  You go on with your bad self!

Time - 51:26 (avg. pace 8:31)

Splits - 8:37, 8:30, 8:29, 8:29, 8:28, 8:34, 0:20 for 0.04 (8:55 pace)

Poor guy. 50 degrees. Brrrrrrr.

From Nan on Thu, Nov 11, 2010 at 14:46:54 from 24.8.144.22

Glad you survived the frigid temps. Also glad you didn't creep out another innocent runner.

From Burt on Thu, Nov 11, 2010 at 15:33:16 from 206.19.214.144

Stacie - I felt like an Eskimo! (too speak in generalizations that are politically correct.)

Nan - It's not just the runners that I creep out. I'm an equal opportunist.

From JD on Thu, Nov 11, 2010 at 15:48:26 from 70.96.78.157

You're a pretty friendly guy Burt.

From Burt on Thu, Nov 11, 2010 at 15:56:23 from 206.19.214.144

Pretty is the key word there, JD.

50° ? my head just exploded.

From Burt on Thu, Nov 11, 2010 at 16:34:21 from 206.19.214.144

Explode means there's something inside. More like popped.

Take that! Going all the way back to KJHS for that one.

From Nan on Thu, Nov 11, 2010 at 16:36:35 from 24.8.144.22

Or did it actually IMplode from when Burt sat on it?

From Burt on Thu, Nov 11, 2010 at 16:41:04 from 206.19.214.144

Possibly. I do have real strong butt cheeks. More than likely it was because of the vacuum in there.

From Burt on Thu, Nov 11, 2010 at 16:42:36 from 206.19.214.144

Way to have allie's back though. I know where your 'allie'giances lie.

From allie on Thu, Nov 11, 2010 at 20:43:35 from 174.23.195.124

Cold, shmold. Are you trying to rub it in?

From Burt on Thu, Nov 11, 2010 at 22:44:23 from 68.225.214.248

50° isn't cold? My bad.

From rAtTLeTrAp on Thu, Nov 11, 2010 at 23:24:25 from 76.121.76.165

Nice splits!

It was 50° here and I thought, Wow! It's warm today.
