I had a real cool blogger call me up yesterday to check on me.  I assured him (or her) that all is well, and I haven't quit running.  In fact, I wanted to get out last night, but that never happens.  

This morning I walked my younger daughters a quarter mile to school, then did my usual 5 mile 'round-the-city-block' run.  At the half way mark Sis. Strader honked at me.  She was car pooling my older daughters to their school.  Then at mile 5 I saw Br. Strader.  Some might call us BFFs.  Not me though.  I'm too old for a BFF.

Time - 45:37 (avg. pace 8:49)

Splits - 8:46, 8:36, 8:53, 9:02, 8:47, 1:33

Is that some Arizona term (bff) or am I just stupid? Good run.

Best Friends Forever!

Thanks! I'm such an idiot!

From Burt on Tue, Sep 20, 2011 at 14:20:41 from 68.14.209.26

Rye - Bishops need to know the lingo! Thanks ACorn. You're my new BFF. For today.

From Sue on Tue, Sep 20, 2011 at 16:14:56 from 63.248.41.148

Burt you have lots of BFFs! Remember what it took for me to make your favorite blog list!

It's ok, you can tell them it was me that called you.

I'm glad you got in a good run AND walked your daughter to school.

From Merri on Wed, Sep 21, 2011 at 11:00:58 from 160.7.252.148

idk my bff sister hackett.

Sue - that was kind of a hassle for you. But at least your there now which means you've finally arrived to the big time.

Dale - My wife usually drives them because she thinks it's too hot for them to walk a quarter mile to school. I say it builds character. Anyway, yesterday it was 70 and my daughter thought it was cold.

Merri - I played basketball again yesterday and I still suck.

Burt contact my "friend" kirk brotherson.
