Total Distance

1.00

It just so happens I was in Southern California a couple of weeks ago watching Britta run her half marathon. There's a couple of details she left out of her race report. I, for one, thought they were worth mentioning. First of all, between miles 9 and 10 she actually ran while balancing a cup of hot cocoa just because she could. For a whole mile!

The other cool thing she did was to pace her twin sister for the first 5 miles. Her sister's not quite as athletic as her, although they are completely identical.

AM Workout

Britta and her twin are hot and so is that chocolate.

From Britta on Tue, Jan 19, 2010 at 12:11:25 from 98.148.70.210

AAgghhhh.. Oh no you didn't!! I haven't even seen those pics yet. Where did you get them. You are like some kind of hacker!

From Burt on Tue, Jan 19, 2010 at 12:18:08 from 206.19.214.144

Oh yes I did!! The correct term is stalker. Just ask Merri. But Merri's come to deal with it. hahahaha!!!

From Merri on Tue, Jan 19, 2010 at 12:40:47 from 160.7.252.148

Yes stalker is the correct term. by the way I really need to work on my paint skills. you've become a paint pro.

From Burt on Tue, Jan 19, 2010 at 12:48:01 from 206.19.214.144

Thanks Merri. There's just a few tricks of the trade that I've learned and perfected. Someday I'll teach them to you. You know, someday when I'm in your 'hood taking pictures.

From Samantha Dean-Howard on Tue, Jan 19, 2010 at 12:48:52 from 90.195.99.245

Merri how do you look so good running, I always pull funny faces and waft my arms about or they take a picture when I have just smeared a gel all over my face LOL!

Nice piccies and I think Merri's eyebrows look much better placed than her twins :-)

From Merri on Tue, Jan 19, 2010 at 13:11:49 from 160.7.252.148

I wish that was me. That is miss Britta...but don't worry Samantha I look like I have gel smeared all over my face too. usually i'm foaming from the mouth as well. and large sweat tacos.

From Burt on Tue, Jan 19, 2010 at 13:25:05 from 206.19.214.144

Yeah Sam, that's Britta. But Merri looks fine when she runs. There's nothing wrong with sweat tacos. LOL!

From Merri on Tue, Jan 19, 2010 at 13:31:59 from 160.7.252.148

Plus Sam if i had abs like yours I wouldn't care what my face looked like :) ha ha

From Samantha Dean-Howard on Tue, Jan 19, 2010 at 15:49:08 from 90.195.99.245

Sorry Merri, well Britta looks great too, confusion from tiredness from so much running LOL and no sleep

I wish I had abs like you are implying ha ha ha LOL

From Britta on Tue, Jan 19, 2010 at 16:09:01 from 98.148.70.210

Burt,

I wish you wouldn't have put an actual stick figure next to me. It makes me look like the fat twin...How are you at air brushing?

Sam and Merri,

That is the very first pic ever... that I haven't looked like I was in pain during a race.

From Burt on Tue, Jan 19, 2010 at 16:35:21 from 206.19.214.144

You don't look fat. You look buff.

From ChrisM on Tue, Jan 19, 2010 at 16:51:49 from 86.162.197.224

I think the unedited photo would be good for the cover of RW (but in the UK version they don't use people who actually run, just models)!

It almost looks as if Barbie is trying to run whilst avoiding the sunglasses fall off! LOL

From Burt on Tue, Jan 19, 2010 at 16:54:48 from 206.19.214.144

Britta could be both.

From Bec on Tue, Jan 19, 2010 at 18:35:31 from 76.23.55.210

These are great! Britta, you look like Reese Witherspoon.

From Teena Marie on Tue, Jan 19, 2010 at 22:14:30 from 174.52.45.85

Only you Burt!!!!

Those pics are AWESOME!!!

Britta, of course, looks FANTASTIC - and who knew the extent of her multi-tasking abilities ... WOW!!!!

Very very very cool!!!

From Smooth on Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 00:03:52 from 174.23.232.65

VERY FUN pix!

Britta always looks SO FABULOUS!!! :)

From seeaprilrun on Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 11:11:19 from 68.103.250.39

Haha Britta does look good running!

From jun on Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 12:25:33 from 66.239.250.209

Someone needs to buy her sister a mayonaisse sammich. and I have no idea how to spell mayo.

From Marathon Dreamer on Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 13:30:58 from 200.52.168.6

Burt- total crack up!!! LOL!!! I think you may have way too much time on your hands....(giggle)!!!

From Burt on Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 13:34:28 from 206.19.214.144

That may be entirely true, MD.

Jun - you nailed mayonnaise, but sandwhich needs a bit of work. I take your point though. She's a bit anorexic.

From Burt on Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 14:45:10 from 206.19.214.144

There is no need to visit Merri's blog today. Nothing interesting at all.

From ChrisM on Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 15:18:10 from 86.162.197.224

*Goes to not look at Merri's blog*

Is the debt reduction calculator new?

Look down

From KP on Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 15:20:50 from 65.208.22.26

I have the debt thing too. And the fat woman shrinking at the top. My life is pathetic, apparently.

From Burt on Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 15:24:16 from 206.19.214.144

Maybe that's why the blog was down last night and this morning.

From missy on Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 22:21:07 from 71.35.245.110

Hacking Stalker! Those engineers have skills...You know, like nunchuck skills, bowhunting skills, computer hacking skills...BTW Don't think they are identical..Britta's way more Hot. :P

From Burt on Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 22:25:03 from 98.177.216.165

Missy, aren't you like really good at drawing animals and warriors?

From missy on Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 23:33:16 from 71.35.245.110

Yar I can draw me a mean Liger. Did you know I really am a Liger? Year of the Tiger and a Leo. :)

From Kelli on Thu, Jan 21, 2010 at 00:19:33 from 71.219.89.82

AH, beautiful Britta!!!! You look great! And Burt, you nailed it, she is a perfect Barbie!

From Britta on Thu, Jan 21, 2010 at 12:35:04 from 98.148.70.210

From missy on Thu, Jan 21, 2010 at 21:26:50 from 75.162.123.103
