I wanted to get some fast miles in this morning, but not too fast and not too many.  I have the Open Mile tomorrow.  I hope I can break 6 minutes or come close.

Time - 14:33 (avg. pace 7:17)

Splits - 7:29, 7:04

*********************************************************************

Day 78 P90X - Chest, Shoulers, & Triceps/Ab Ripper X - This is a tough workout.  Maybe because you only do it 5 times throughout the entire 90 days, and your body doesn't adjust to it.  I don't have to do it anymore, and I won't miss it.  I made sure to push it harder than last time.  And I took it up a notch with Ab Ripper X by doing all my Leg Climbers without arms.  Just straight up and touch my toes.  There is a six pack underneath a couple of layers of fat in there somewhere.

You are really dropping those times. Amazing!

From Burt on Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 13:06:39 from 206.19.214.144

Thanks Chad.

From Scott Wesemann on Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 13:20:12 from 75.162.85.220

Burt, you are really getting faster. Good luck tomorrow.

From Burt on Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 13:25:03 from 206.19.214.144

Thanks Scott.

Go Burt! Go!

You could pretend you are being chased by a dinosaur or something to make you run faster

From Burt on Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 14:05:52 from 206.19.214.144

Thanks Chris.

From RAD on Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 14:12:22 from 67.172.229.125

Good luck Burt! Nice pace today, I think that sub 6 is looking good.

From Lily on Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 15:35:55 from 67.199.181.73

I think you can do it. DO YOU think you can do it?

From Burt on Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 15:51:46 from 206.19.214.144

Thanks RAD.

From Burt on Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 15:51:54 from 206.19.214.144

On the serious side, though. The last time I ran the Open Mile I got a 6:13 per Garmin and 6:24 official. That means I must not have been hugging the corners good. That kind of worries me because I'm not aggressive enough to cut people off and take the inside lane. I ran a 6:15 last week per Garmin, so I know the same speed is there. And I hope running with fast people on a nice surface can pull me through. I just need to give it my all.

From ChrisM on Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 16:10:53 from 86.179.80.207

Thanks Chris.

From SlowJoe on Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 18:52:22 from 214.13.130.104

Sounds like fun. Show no mercy, and push over anyone in the left lane standing between you and 5:59.

From Burt on Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 19:49:07 from 206.19.214.144

Thanks Chris.

(Did I tell you that already?)

From Burt on Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 19:49:15 from 206.19.214.144

Thanks Joe.

From JD on Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 20:51:01 from 32.176.124.228

Thanks Burt.

From Kelli on Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 22:06:12 from 71.219.65.246

Good luck on that sub-6!

From Burt on Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 22:37:14 from 68.225.214.248

JD - I'm welcome.

Kelli - thank you.

From Mike Warren on Tue, Sep 21, 2010 at 00:19:59 from 74.211.9.222

Sub 6 would be very SWEET! No doubt you can do it my friend! Look forward to the results, give em heck!!!

From Burt on Tue, Sep 21, 2010 at 00:20:47 from 68.225.214.248

Thanks Mike.

From ChrisM on Tue, Sep 21, 2010 at 03:52:34 from 86.179.80.207

I think you should change your name to Burtie, then all the names of the people in the hot discussions section would (phonetically) end with ie!

From Burt on Tue, Sep 21, 2010 at 11:32:02 from 206.19.214.144

Haha! Good one.

Thanks Chris.

From Rhett on Tue, Sep 21, 2010 at 12:09:06 from 184.10.154.226

I have a good feeling that your run tomorrow. Sub 6 here you come!

From flatlander on Tue, Sep 21, 2010 at 13:08:54 from 75.214.247.26

Can't wait to see if you get a sub-6. I almost did it for 200 yards today. Not quite the same.

From allie on Tue, Sep 21, 2010 at 13:10:37 from 161.38.218.168

BUMP. 5:55. i am sure of it.

what's a garmin?

From Rossy on Tue, Sep 21, 2010 at 21:54:55 from 67.59.92.51

A belated good luck! Hope you ran a sub-6 Burt!
