Time - 40:46 (8:20 avg. pace)

Splits -

1 mile - 8:07 (I saw Su Li and talked to her today in passing.  I said, "We have the same pants on today."  We were both wearing blue sweats with 2 white stripes running down the legs.  She laughed and said, "Yes.  Good morning."  Now I'm beginning to think she's the one I ran into when she stepped in front of me a few months ago.

2 mile - 8:10 (I saw a water bottle on the ground, but left if for fear that it could be a road side bomb.  Then I saw a bottle of strawberry milk, then what looked to be a bottle of Arizona Tea Watermelon flavor.

3 mile - 8:34

4 mile - 8:33

0.89 miles - 7:23 (8:17 avg.)

Temp - 75

When I picked up the refrigerator from my mother-in-law's house Saturday, I had to hop her back fence.  I'm not as young, spry, or agile as I used to be.  My brother stuck his knee out for me to jump off of, but I knew something bad would happen.  My first leg made it over fine, but my second leg got hung up on the fence.  I thought I pulled a hammy, but I walked it off.  Where I really did damage was behind my left knee.  It's pretty bruised, but I couldn't see the bruise until today.  I definitely felt it on the run this morning, but it wasn't too bad.

Stealing water bottles, trespassing, foolish jumping... and all of this done in one day.

You are a busy man Burt.

Hope you heal soon!

Could of been worse, I think of something worse to hook then a knee, while jumping a fence.(LOL). Great job on the run!

What were you thinking? Did you feel like David Hasselhoff or something?

I get scared just jumping over little sticks on the road ;) - of course I am probably 10 years your senior and never really looked up to David the way you do ;-).

It's not the first time I've jumped over that fence. I just have watched too many Maximum Exposure shows that I'm afraid to try crazy stuff like that anymore. Usually they end up doing damage in the regions Mike's eluding to. LOL.

Hey, you are always moving a fridge from your MIL's it seems like.

From Burt on Mon, May 11, 2009 at 20:38:55 from 68.76.197.194

Last time it was a washer and dryer. LOL.

Are ya sure? I was thinking you were playing a trick and just seeing if any of us were listening.

From marion on Mon, May 11, 2009 at 21:21:18 from 71.213.117.213

We had chili dogs for dinner :)

From Burt on Mon, May 11, 2009 at 21:33:50 from 68.76.197.194

Yes! Where's mine? Send me one. I've yet to make that chili recipe you posted last year. :(

Hey Burt, yeah I know Sasha and a few of the runners that he runs with.
