Total Distance

5.52

I'm trying to get 800 miles on my old shoes before I retire them. Smart? Probably not. The cause of my recent blisters. Probably yes. Do I look like I care? Just look at my profile picture.

I had some issues with my boy this morning. May have been the cause of the faster than normal, although not that I can't always, pace. Honestly. Will that boy ever learn?

Time - 43:26 (avg. pace 7:52)

Splits - 8:12, 7:32, 7:45, 7:55, 7:59, 4:03

Mizuno Wave Inspire 4 White/Classic Blue/Raven Miles: 5.52

Weight: 196.00

after he has moved far far away he will get it...oh wait my brother still doesn't get it. LOL

From Nan on Tue, May 10, 2011 at 12:56:38 from 98.245.117.176

Now THAT is a cool profile pic. I LOVE IT!! Definitely a keeper. It's actually you too...without arms. How did you make it?

From Chad on Tue, May 10, 2011 at 12:58:18 from 168.177.153.5

You look stressed.

From Nan on Tue, May 10, 2011 at 12:59:35 from 98.245.117.176

I was gonna say constipated.

From Lily on Tue, May 10, 2011 at 13:01:45 from 67.199.178.210

ahahaha Nan!

From Chad on Tue, May 10, 2011 at 13:09:36 from 168.177.153.5

You're right Nan. It does look like constipation.

From The Quiet Pirate on Tue, May 10, 2011 at 13:42:10 from 152.26.59.252

Good luck! I hope one day we'll all be running fast for the joy our sons brings into our life, rather than the stress.

From Burt on Tue, May 10, 2011 at 13:53:02 from 206.19.214.144

April - that almost helped.

Nan - The picture is courtesy of Chad Robinson. You know, the guy running next to Scott Ensign in his profile picture? And yes, yesterday Rye mentioned that my profile pics looks like , "a cross between Burt from Sesame Street and Satan with bowel problems."

Chad - I am stressed. Teenagers do that to you.

QP - Amen to that sister pirate.

From Chad Robinson on Tue, May 10, 2011 at 14:05:12 from 67.136.62.186

Agnes: I like him. He's nice.

Edith: He's scary.

Agnes: Like Santa.

From Burt on Tue, May 10, 2011 at 15:32:12 from 206.19.214.144

Despicable Me? I watched that once. So heart warming.

From Chad Robinson on Tue, May 10, 2011 at 15:36:12 from 67.136.62.186

Yep. Love that movie - My boys do as well.

From Rhett on Tue, May 10, 2011 at 17:05:19 from 74.32.222.239

Looking good Burt.

From rAtTLeTrAp on Tue, May 10, 2011 at 17:38:53 from 72.102.19.184

Why only 800? I ran over 1000 in a pair of Asics2150. The tops and sides had holes before the sole wore out. I think I'll probably do the same with the ones I have now.

Will the boy ever learn?! I ask myself the same question about my son almost every day. He is very good for my prayer life.

From ben on Tue, May 10, 2011 at 17:40:00 from 209.33.248.15

Boys!!!! And that picture is awesome. Must have been taken right after a marathon!

From Burt on Tue, May 10, 2011 at 18:52:12 from 206.19.214.144

Rhett - thanks. Not only do I look good, I feel good.

Trap - I weigh twice as much as you. So I should put half the miles on my shoes that you do. Good perspective on your son.

Ben - That was the Mesquite Marathon. I was like, "I can't believe Cathy just beat me! But at least I beat Ben!" LOL!

From ben on Tue, May 10, 2011 at 19:14:18 from 209.33.248.15

That doesn't mean much... most people beat Ben!

From Merri on Wed, May 11, 2011 at 00:43:52 from 160.7.252.148

Ha love the picture. How old is this boy you speak of?

From Burt on Wed, May 11, 2011 at 01:05:12 from 72.223.90.79

Ben - even though I can never beat you for real, at least on paper I see will for once see my name in front of yours.

Merri - he'll be 16 in July. Sigh.

From allie on Wed, May 11, 2011 at 02:28:31 from 174.23.197.101

calvo = burt

From allie on Wed, May 11, 2011 at 02:29:28 from 174.23.197.101

you better believe i just posted that on the wrong blog. goodnight.

From Squirrel on Wed, May 11, 2011 at 09:46:31 from 209.175.175.238

For some reason your comments are not coming up on my email any more! Did you block me or something? LOVE the picture!!! Yes-your son will get it. Unfortunately it is the mistakes and consequesnces that he will learn from so it makes your job tough--and thats what grows you!!!

From Burt on Wed, May 11, 2011 at 10:22:08 from 72.223.90.79

allie - little old lady!! what would I do without you?

Squirrel - now why would I block you? You must have unclicked email notifications under blog options. Just go back in and toggle it on. It's the second box from the bottom. That does explain what I assumed to be general rudeness on your part. I was like, "Gee. Squirrel never replies to our comments on her blog." LOL!

From Nan on Wed, May 11, 2011 at 13:55:48 from 98.245.117.176

I'm thinking about disabling my email notification now. Either that or avoid commenting on your blog until the three weeks later...sheesh one billion emails in my inbox. I like the other pic better BTW. That one is too normal.

From Chad on Wed, May 11, 2011 at 14:08:45 from 168.177.153.5

At least add that picture to the contents of this post.

From The Quiet Pirate on Wed, May 11, 2011 at 15:55:29 from 152.26.59.252

I'm with Nan. Too normal.

From Burt on Wed, May 11, 2011 at 16:02:40 from 206.19.214.144

Um, you know that's not really me, right?

From Calvin on Wed, May 11, 2011 at 16:02:45 from 209.23.216.3

Momma's boy.

From Burt on Wed, May 11, 2011 at 16:03:46 from 206.19.214.144

Calvin knows :)

From Chad on Wed, May 11, 2011 at 16:04:58 from 168.177.153.5

Which one is not really you?

From Burt on Wed, May 11, 2011 at 16:07:15 from 206.19.214.144

Funny Chad. NEITHER!

From Burt on Wed, May 11, 2011 at 16:08:22 from 206.19.214.144

Hi Nan? How's your inbox? Hanging in there?

From Nan on Wed, May 11, 2011 at 16:20:02 from 98.245.117.176

Disable email notification taking effect in 3, 2, 1........

From allie on Wed, May 11, 2011 at 16:29:53 from 161.38.218.168

From allie on Wed, May 11, 2011 at 16:30:38 from 161.38.218.168

From allie on Wed, May 11, 2011 at 16:30:51 from 161.38.218.168

From Burt on Wed, May 11, 2011 at 16:32:01 from 206.19.214.144

Hey, I'm just happy she gave me 4 comments. Count 'em.

From Calvin on Wed, May 11, 2011 at 16:32:46 from 209.23.216.3

From Marathon Dreamer on Thu, May 12, 2011 at 19:19:51 from 174.254.85.219

I am convinced that there is something seriously wrong with u.... ;-)

From Burt on Thu, May 12, 2011 at 19:24:25 from 206.19.214.144

Well, yeah.

From GoBeth on Thu, May 12, 2011 at 21:09:33 from 98.206.38.204

This is a nice picture of you! I really feel like I'm getting to know you now.

From Burt on Thu, May 12, 2011 at 21:24:38 from 72.223.90.79

LOL Beth. Do you like my eyes. The better to see you with!

From julieesplin on Thu, May 12, 2011 at 23:02:48 from 75.169.182.105

Do you have a picture of your brother Ernie? - from Canyon & Eli & Elsa

From Burt on Fri, May 13, 2011 at 01:58:43 from 72.223.90.79

Hi Esplin kids! Actually Ernie is not my brother. He's just my roommate. And there's nothing weird about it.
