The weather is beautiful here.  I think I've been neglecting to take it all in because I haven't been able to enjoy it due to not being able to run fast.  But I'm slowly creeping back.  Did I say creeping?  I must be creepy.

Time - 25:23 (avg. pace 8:27)

Splits - 8:37, 8:28, 8:17

Day 16 P90X

Plyometrics

Oh my goodness.  That gets the heart rate going.  I tweaked my left ankle early on.  I'll see how I feel in the morning and decide whether or not to go for a run.

I vote for "creeping". Not that slow anyway, that is a solid pace.

No fecal matter, no rotting animal carcasses...I don't have anything to comment on. I guess, nice run? But seriously, it looks like nice progress with the injury.

From Burt on Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 12:59:16 from 206.19.214.144

It was a pretty clean day. I did see the dead coyote still out in the median as I drove to work. Somebody should clean that up.

Your word, not mine.

From Burt on Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 13:32:50 from 206.19.214.144

You were thinking it, Carolyn.

From Metcalf Running on Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 14:03:34 from 207.225.192.66

:) Nice run today!

From Burt on Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 14:05:31 from 206.19.214.144

Thanks Lori. I tried not to make this entry too interesting so you wouldn't get in trouble at work ;p

From seeaprilrun on Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 14:51:15 from 205.172.12.229

Nice little run Burt. Glad you are feeling better. What's next on P90x?

From Burt on Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 14:56:19 from 206.19.214.144

I got Plyometrics tonight. That should help to strengthen my hamstring. Or damage it more. We'll see.

From Metcalf Running on Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 17:42:13 from 207.225.192.66

Much appriciated :)

"I must be creepy." B. McCumber

From Samantha Dean-Howard on Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 18:37:05 from 90.201.147.150

me thinks it must be nice running slower and enjoying the scenery more, thats what I am doing..... but your pace seems pretty solid :O

My vote creeping creepy ha ha :)

From Burt on Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 18:38:09 from 206.19.214.144

LOL JD! I've got some pictures of you in my My Pictures folder. Does bib #405 from TOU mean anything to you?

From RAD on Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 18:56:27 from 67.172.229.125

slow and creepy? stalking is illegal in Arizona....

*although if you are slow and creepy, I'd hate to see what you'd categorize ME as lately!*

From KP on Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 19:01:46 from 198.200.158.140

RAD, your category is: knocked up

From Burt on Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 19:09:14 from 206.19.214.144

Ay yi yi! Keep it clean.

From Britta on Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 20:02:03 from 99.146.24.198

From Burt on Wed, Apr 21, 2010 at 12:06:06 from 206.19.214.144
