I wanted to congratulate Merri and allie on their races, but more importantly on their contributions to humanity.  Peace and goodwill.  And Merri, just because you got it, doesn't mean you should flaunt it.

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

It was overcast and 80° this morning, so I knew it could get sweaty.  I threw in a quarter mile surge in the fifth mile.  I got up to a 5:08 pace.

Time - 47:10 (avg. pace 8:33)

Splits - 8:36, 8:25, 8:35, 8:45, 8:33, 4:17

Why does allie's hair defy the law of gravity? You got a problem with Sir Isaac Newton, allie?

From allie on Wed, Jun 01, 2011 at 00:51:01 from 174.23.237.228

my hair was frozen.

From Carolyn in Colorado on Wed, Jun 01, 2011 at 00:58:40 from 76.25.72.82

You are up to no good, Burton.

From Lily on Wed, Jun 01, 2011 at 01:02:28 from 67.199.178.210

Merri grew in a few places. ahem..........

LOL

Is it just me or does it look like she has a "kung-fu death grip" on poor little allie?

From Burt on Wed, Jun 01, 2011 at 11:32:13 from 72.223.90.79

allie - It was a very cold day until Sunshine Merri came along.

CinC - Me? Couldn't be.

Lily - yes she did. In intellect and charm.

Trap - Maybe that's how allie's leg got injured.

From RivertonPaul on Wed, Jun 01, 2011 at 13:45:38 from 67.42.27.114

Peace, brother.

From RAD on Wed, Jun 01, 2011 at 15:18:37 from 98.202.17.113

What a cute little two-some those girls are! :)

From april27 on Wed, Jun 01, 2011 at 16:06:17 from 165.138.243.1

I love how the blanket doesn't match anything in the picture.

From Burt on Wed, Jun 01, 2011 at 16:13:45 from 206.19.214.144

Paul - My peace I leave unto you.

RAD - Shall I merge their faces?

April - What are you talking about? It matches Merri's cheetah print purse.

From seeaprilrun on Wed, Jun 01, 2011 at 20:28:09 from 174.70.177.86

I can't even look at this picture. I am still too stuck on the profile pic. Still there...

From Burt on Wed, Jun 01, 2011 at 21:08:07 from 206.19.214.144

Sorry April. You can thank RivertonPaul for that.

From JD on Wed, Jun 01, 2011 at 21:12:13 from 71.37.100.47

Visually delightful as always.

From Merri on Wed, Jun 01, 2011 at 22:43:14 from 160.7.252.148

yes people that's what I look like when I run races.

From Chad Robinson on Wed, Jun 01, 2011 at 23:23:46 from 208.110.158.185

No, that is what I look like.

From Merri on Wed, Jun 01, 2011 at 23:44:28 from 160.7.252.148

Well somebody told me

You had a boyfriend

Who looks like a girlfriend

That I had in February of last year

From Steam8 on Thu, Jun 02, 2011 at 00:35:16 from 166.70.55.77

Hahaha! I was going to photoshop you in drag from both of us being in Vegas at the same time. I didn't because I thought you might be mad at me, or offended....I better get those posted! I don't think they could top that pic though! haha!

From DaleG on Thu, Jun 02, 2011 at 14:44:02 from 76.27.13.205

Wow, Burt, you lost a lot of weight.

From rAtTLeTrAp on Thu, Jun 02, 2011 at 15:00:33 from 75.244.154.151

Dale - I think Burt did the tape-worm diet.

From Scott Wesemann on Thu, Jun 02, 2011 at 15:32:22 from 66.239.250.209

That loin cloth is a package accident waiting to burst out. Be careful out there.

From ChrisM on Thu, Jun 02, 2011 at 17:25:26 from 82.27.11.68

given the scales of the 2 pictures, it looks like Merri has a son too. He looks very mischievous...

From SlowJoe on Thu, Jun 02, 2011 at 19:23:50 from 184.79.24.255

The loin cloth is ok, but I think you should ask the P90X people for a refund. Baby Allie could kick your butt from her swaddled position.
