Good luck to everyone running the St. George Marathon tomorrow.  You marathon runners are awesome.

I felt pretty good this morning, like I was on cruise control.  I ran forward this morning.  There's a canal that cuts through the city block at about a 70° angle.  I saw a guy turn around and head back along the canal.  I wondered if I could get to where it met the street again before he did.  Let's see.  The sine of a 70° angle is 0.9397.  The cosine of a 70° angle is 0.3402.  This means I'm running 28.17% more distance than him.  Do not check my math, AZDM. 

I beat him.

Time - 43:30 (avg. pace 8:01)

Splits - 8:06, 7:49, 7:53, 8:15, 8:02, 3:26 for 0.43 (8:00 pace)

Great job. It's fun when there's someone around to fake-race.

From runningafterbabies on Fri, Oct 01, 2010 at 12:19:03 from 67.161.249.168

I would have cheated and used one of those bootleg programs on my spiffy TI82 to figure that one out.

From jun on Fri, Oct 01, 2010 at 12:25:36 from 97.126.232.37

I'm pretty sure those last three lines of your report were in German.

From Burt on Fri, Oct 01, 2010 at 12:37:24 from 206.19.214.144

Catherine - yep. As long as you keep the trash talking inside your head.

Melody - Oh my gosh, you little stinker! I made it through college with my solar powered Casio fx - 300s.

Junior - elementary my friend, elementary.

From ChrisM on Fri, Oct 01, 2010 at 13:04:25 from 86.178.235.148

Sounds like someone studied at the University of Wiscosine!

From nevels on Fri, Oct 01, 2010 at 13:06:42 from 155.74.2.253

the real question is: did you do that in your head whilst running?

From ChrisM on Fri, Oct 01, 2010 at 13:07:58 from 86.178.235.148

Doesn't everyone run with a slide rule?

From nevels on Fri, Oct 01, 2010 at 13:08:59 from 155.74.2.253

yeah, my rule is that if the 2nd baseman has the ball in his glove, i slide...

From Eric Day on Fri, Oct 01, 2010 at 13:12:29 from 189.192.25.81

To much math for me. I can barely get past 1 + 1, and I get that wrong sometimes...

Good run Burt.

From nevels on Fri, Oct 01, 2010 at 13:13:37 from 155.74.2.253

1+1 = 11

From Eric Day on Fri, Oct 01, 2010 at 13:19:05 from 189.192.25.81

See John ? Your math is wrong: 1 + 1 = 1

From Burt on Fri, Oct 01, 2010 at 13:20:39 from 206.19.214.144

Of course I do all the math in my head. It's simple ratios. And now I have all the School House Rock songs stuck in my head.

From ChrisM on Fri, Oct 01, 2010 at 13:20:55 from 86.178.235.148

Nice maths everyone!

From Rhett on Fri, Oct 01, 2010 at 13:42:03 from 184.10.154.226

Great run, but I'm more impressed with the math.

From Nan on Fri, Oct 01, 2010 at 14:10:03 from 24.8.144.22

Your blog just maxed my limit for the amount of math equations I am capable of reading in one week. Now I can't even look at numbers at all next week. Thanks a lot.

From nevels on Fri, Oct 01, 2010 at 14:22:55 from 155.74.2.253

"Now I can't even look at numbers at all next week."

-coming from the one whose very name is computer code for infinity...

(please don't beat me up, Nan...)

From Burt on Fri, Oct 01, 2010 at 14:48:39 from 206.19.214.144

She's going to beat you up to infinity and beyond.

From JD on Fri, Oct 01, 2010 at 14:49:29 from 70.96.78.157

Will the mathness never end!!

From KP on Fri, Oct 01, 2010 at 21:48:16 from 173.24.255.248

Nan isn't going to beat you up, John. She is just going to kick your butt in a race.

Burt, I am ANXIOUSLY awaiting the latest set of pictures that are almost due...

can.not.wait.

From ChrisM on Sat, Oct 02, 2010 at 03:09:30 from 86.178.235.148

Here is a fun maths story! (Well they are all fun really)

From allie on Sun, Oct 03, 2010 at 15:41:10 from 174.19.51.35

so...where are the pics? your new texting number awaits...5-0-0. put 'em up!

From Chad on Sun, Oct 03, 2010 at 16:27:35 from 208.186.134.105

Smokin' fast Burt. I like to put the speed on to pass someone on a run, but then I'm tired but have to keep up speed so as not to let them repass. It sucks.

From Burt on Sun, Oct 03, 2010 at 23:38:10 from 68.225.214.248

Chris - your little story made me very uncomfortable.

allie - Patience. It's not easy photoshopping fake muscles.

Chad - When that happens just pretend you're tying your shoe.

From Chad on Mon, Oct 04, 2010 at 12:07:56 from 168.177.153.5

You know all the tricks Burt.
