Total Distance
2.62

The whole idea for me quitting my day job and starting my own company was to free up more time for me to do things like run, study scriptures, be a better dad.  So far, it's been an epic failure.  But I wouldn't have it any other way.  2.62 miles (10% of a marathon) today.  I used RunKeeper to track my mileage.  I like her voice.  I'm pretty sure she's Kira Soltanovich.

What company did you start? Or are you being a jokester? Good job doing ten percent of a marathon.

From Rhett on Sat, May 03, 2014 at 13:51:08 from 199.117.154.54

If you were dyslexic you ran a whole marathon 26.2 miles. :)

Dale - I started my own engineering company. I work downstairs in my house :)

Rhett - I think the way you like.

From SlowJoe on Sun, May 04, 2014 at 18:37:57 from 66.69.93.8

Good luck on the venture, Burt. Kind of exciting! If I knew what you did, and needed an engineer, and lived in Arizona, I would definitely sign up to be a customer.

From DaleG on Sun, May 04, 2014 at 18:41:06 from 50.168.232.191

That's great, Buru. I hope it works out well. I would open up my own company, but I have no skills. Now if I could make a living from eating, I'd be very successful.

From Burt on Sun, May 04, 2014 at 18:42:40 from 184.101.211.182

SlowJoe - That's so nice of you to say. 'though, I know you couldn't afford me.

Dale - I thought you had some sweet num chuck skills and bow hunting skills.

From SlowJoe on Sun, May 04, 2014 at 18:45:09 from 66.69.93.8

Well I never said I would pay you...

From DaleG on Sun, May 04, 2014 at 19:17:55 from 50.168.232.191

Well, I did almost take down Chuck Norris once....he is Chuck Norris after all. He was so impressed with my skills that he took me bow hunting. how did you hear about that?

From Burt on Sun, May 04, 2014 at 19:21:34 from 184.101.211.182

Well, I thought it was folklore. Now I know you're the real deal.

From DaleG on Sun, May 04, 2014 at 20:38:08 from 50.168.232.191

That's right, but It's just between you and me.
