Total Distance
7.59

I got up a half an hour earlier today because MD's marathon training schedule called for more miles today.  We wanted to do 8, but I was worried I wouldn't make it home in time to get my kid to school.  So I only did 7.59 and MD kept going.  It's pretty sad.  Tomorrow's going to be the last day we get to run together until she comes back to visit.

Time - 1:10:12 (avg. pace 9:15)

Splits - 9:49, 9:23, 9:16, 9:01, 9:26, 9:18, 9:05, 4:55 for 0.59 (8:17 pace)

Temp - 95

Nice going Burt.

A great loss in the force... hope she visits often. Great running buddies are few & far between.

From Steve Piccolo on Tue, Aug 17, 2010 at 14:32:03 from 155.100.160.157

Great mileage run!

From baldnspicy on Tue, Aug 17, 2010 at 16:09:50 from 72.77.65.69

Great job! You're doing awesome.

From Rhett on Tue, Aug 17, 2010 at 16:29:14 from 74.32.211.152

What are you going to do without MD there to get you up and running in the mornings? No slacking!

From RAD on Tue, Aug 17, 2010 at 17:02:02 from 67.172.229.125

Nice mileage Burt! Especially after yesterday's torture session - you like to call it p90x :)

From allie on Tue, Aug 17, 2010 at 19:07:21 from 161.38.221.168

i am pretty sure most people doing p90x don't run an additional 7-8 miles. maybe that is why you are a coach.

good job, burt!

Nice miles today Brut.

From AZDesertmonsoon on Wed, Aug 18, 2010 at 01:30:12 from 67.40.233.17

You look like you are really digging deep for the win.

From Burt on Wed, Aug 18, 2010 at 02:49:55 from 68.225.214.248

On the second from the bottom picture, you can see Chico from Parker right over my shoulder. He had a pretty good lead for most of the race. Then I kicked it in and smoked by him. I wasn't about to lose on my home turf. Ah, glory days will pass you by in the wink of a young girl's eye.

Don't worry allie. My hot shoes picture is coming soon.

From ChrisM on Wed, Aug 18, 2010 at 04:54:02 from 130.88.123.4

the expression on your face on the second to last one is great!

From allie on Wed, Aug 18, 2010 at 09:11:26 from 174.23.182.80

the pictures have surfaced! they are great; especially the last two. very intense! they do need some color though. i'll take care of that...

was everything black and white back in the day?

*runs away quick*

Hardy har Chris. I knew someone would say that.

You know, I actually wrote a race report for this race. We were doing creative writing in English and we had to do one of those essays where we use all 5 senses. I talked about how I could taste my lunch with my nervous burps. It would be awesome if I could did it up.

You take a great action photo!

From Chad on Wed, Aug 18, 2010 at 11:20:28 from 168.177.153.171

Look at all that hair. Sweet do!

Chad - Thanks. The above link explains why my hair was so wild and free in HS. The newspaper clipping is from our second home meet. I didn't have anyone to chase down at the end, and I beat my previous time by 2 seconds.

From Chad on Wed, Aug 18, 2010 at 13:20:57 from 168.177.153.171

Wow! Your were big time. A news paper article and everything. Seriously though, that's awesome. It looks like at some point you did start letting your dad cut your hair.

I bet video footage would be very similar to a shampoo commercial.
