It wasn't as warm as it has been lately.  Perhaps that's why I ran faster than I have been lately.  My foot felt fine.  I'm really digging the water fountain.  I like how the cover magically raises up.

Time - 25:47 (avg. pace 8:35)

Splits - 8:46.33, 8:22.67, 8:36.03, 0:02.48

Those hundredths of a second are so important.  :)

Update on the fundraiser.  We've raised over $600 for SDSA with almost half of the donors being Fast Running Bloggers.  I love you guys!

From Burt on Mon, Aug 08, 2011 at 13:18:08 from 206.19.214.144

Your inbox will regret it later.

hello anji, hello Burt... nice pace on your miles this morning. I'm curious about the magic water fountain. Did I miss a photo of it somewhere?

From Burt on Mon, Aug 08, 2011 at 14:25:25 from 206.19.214.144

Hi Pirate. No photos yet. Maybe I'll post a video.

From catherine on Mon, Aug 08, 2011 at 14:37:08 from 216.49.181.254

I haven't checked your blog in a bit. Nice picture.

From RAD on Mon, Aug 08, 2011 at 17:57:59 from 76.27.16.189

Nice run there Burty! Yes, I just called you Burty. Hope you don't mind.

From Burt on Mon, Aug 08, 2011 at 18:10:39 from 206.19.214.144

Catherine - ah thanks. That means a lot.

RAD - No. It's cool. It helps me get in touch with my feminine side.

From allie on Mon, Aug 08, 2011 at 18:47:14 from 24.10.191.18

good run.

From Hamdog Alum on Mon, Aug 08, 2011 at 21:43:52 from 68.185.190.140

Good run Burt and nice picture.

From Burt on Tue, Aug 09, 2011 at 12:08:56 from 72.223.91.148

Oh allie. You do crack me up.

Hamdog - It's the circle of life.

From julieesplin on Tue, Aug 09, 2011 at 14:17:10 from 75.169.175.16

Burt, you and Allie must be blogging too much, you're starting to look like her.

From Burt on Tue, Aug 09, 2011 at 14:31:45 from 206.19.214.144

No, that is a picture of allie. Wait, do you mean the elephant's butt. That does look like me.

From allie on Tue, Aug 09, 2011 at 14:37:13 from 161.38.218.168

that's a pretty good picture of me, and a pretty good picture of burt. but i feel bad for the frenzied woman in the purple singlet -- she's got a lot of issues.

From GoBeth on Tue, Aug 09, 2011 at 15:23:29 from 71.201.21.192

Please, my gosh, explain this picture....

From Burt on Tue, Aug 09, 2011 at 15:41:57 from 206.19.214.144

Beth - It's all about timing. Being in the right place at the right time.

From ChrisM on Tue, Aug 09, 2011 at 15:45:52 from 86.10.81.85

that is a nice picture of you with allie

From allie on Tue, Aug 09, 2011 at 15:46:24 from 161.38.218.168

it's also about stealing copyrighted photos from facebook (that were stolen from zazoosh) and re-creating very, very, very traumatizing childhood experiences.

From allie on Tue, Aug 09, 2011 at 15:47:40 from 161.38.218.168

s-c-r-a-b-b-l-e. don't forget.

From Burt on Tue, Aug 09, 2011 at 15:47:44 from 206.19.214.144

I can spell dog, D-O-G...

From Burt on Tue, Aug 09, 2011 at 15:49:22 from 206.19.214.144

If I use the word hippopotamus in Scrabble, you'll probably be committed to a psychiatric ward.

From allie on Tue, Aug 09, 2011 at 15:58:14 from 161.38.218.168

my brain just splatted out of my head and i accidentally ran over it with my rolly chair. advice on what to do next?

From Burt on Tue, Aug 09, 2011 at 17:06:16 from 206.19.214.144

Put some butter on it.

From Walter on Wed, Aug 10, 2011 at 20:38:01 from 24.2.69.110

Man, I am slow on Burts pic. Seriously! I was talking about your pics when I ran with Kim in SD and how clever you are with them. Awesome!

From seeaprilrun on Wed, Aug 10, 2011 at 21:46:32 from 174.70.177.86

Oh. My. Another Burt picture that knocks me speecheless. And a cover on a public water fountain? I have never heard of such a thing. I don't think us hicks here in Kansas have those.

From Burt on Wed, Aug 10, 2011 at 22:05:07 from 206.19.214.144

Walter - thanks. Your stamp of approval is all I need.

April - shhhh! Don't say anything.

From Julie on Thu, Aug 11, 2011 at 10:13:40 from 67.199.162.82

Glad to see you are running more again!! We need Burt stories.

From Burt on Thu, Aug 11, 2011 at 14:02:37 from 206.19.214.144

Oh Julie, I don't want to bore you with my stories.
