Since everyone's running the St. George half today, I felt it necessary to at least get double digits this morning.  I waited until 11am and it was still kind of cold with the breeze, but actually quite nice.

Time - 1:28:17 (avg. pace 8:44)

Splits - 8:30, 8:28, 8:30, 8:40, 8:46, 8:43, 8:55, 8:53, 9:05, 8:49, 1:00 for 0.11 (8:48 pace)

PM Workout

Day 6 P90X - Kenpo X

I have to admit.  This has been my least favorite workout of the P90X series.  It takes coordination, like a dancer.  I do not have that.  No, I don't think I can dance.

Good pace!

Excellent run Burt!

From Lyman on Sat, Jan 23, 2010 at 19:47:15 from 75.169.107.113

Nice run and good solid pace.

From Burt on Sat, Jan 23, 2010 at 19:54:47 from 98.177.216.165

Thanks guys! I wanted to just do 9 minute miles, but I couldn't go that slow at first.

From TBarlow on Sat, Jan 23, 2010 at 21:42:02 from 216.194.124.36

Way to hit the double digits!

Someday I'll think going 9 minute miles for double digits is slow...

From Eric Day on Sun, Jan 24, 2010 at 11:08:58 from 189.169.176.77

Good going Burt. Nice pace for those double digits..

From Burt on Sun, Jan 24, 2010 at 11:58:17 from 98.177.216.165

Toby - Thanks. I was running all over the neighborhood looking at the damage done from the storm.

beef - You just ran 9.4 in under a 9 min./pace. See, it's not that hard? lol. But I think my weight loss and the P90X is really helping because it seemed easier than it's felt in the past.

Eric - Now I need to do double digits every day like you.

Good solid run and pace, Burt, hope to see you this weekend.

From Burt on Sun, Jan 24, 2010 at 19:03:21 from 98.177.216.165

Absolutely Mark. I'm even thinking about running you in because in theory I'll finish the 10k before you finish the half. So after I've caught my breath I'll head back out and find you.
