That's right.  I said 8.01.  Hey, if Garmin is in my pocket and it's says 8.01 when I pull it out and stop it, I'm counting the 0.01 miles! 

This was a run with my Ragnar team.  We ran mostly along the Eastern Canal.  Right when we got to the turn around point, I excused myself to go potty.  I crossed the street to the graveyard and peed on some poor soul's grave.  And when I say I peed on their grave I mean I peed near their grave.  And when I say near their grave I mean on the other side of the graveyard wall.

It's good to be accurate.

Thanks Cat. I guess mostly people get mad at me when I run 0.01 or 0.02 miles shy of a whole number.

From SlowJoe on Wed, Feb 08, 2012 at 19:55:13 from 74.195.74.62

you're right, I approve. You had me at "potty."

From Burt on Wed, Feb 08, 2012 at 20:31:46 from 72.223.93.158

Joe - do you have any dead relatives in the Mesa Cemetery that you want me to dance on their grave?

From SlowJoe on Wed, Feb 08, 2012 at 21:04:20 from 74.195.74.62

Yes but I won't tell you which plot, so you'll have to dance/pee on them all.

Why is your garmin in your pocket?

From Burt on Thu, Feb 09, 2012 at 14:16:13 from 68.14.209.26

Trap - because the band is broken and I'm not Macgyver enough like you to fix it.

This is what I get for reading the blog during sacrament meeting.

And that's the gospel truth!
