Finally made my way out to Las Sendas for the group run.  It was me Marilyn, Liz, Glen, and Glen's daughter Tamryn on the bicycle.  We saw three bunnies.  No javelinas this time.  We also saw hundreds of owls.  I thought they were bats at first, but I could see the feathers.  Then I realized they were burrowing owls.  It was pretty cool.  We ran thes 6.33 mile loop.  No matter which way we go we end up on an uphill.  It's a great workout.  No stroller this time.

Time - 59:15 (avg. pace 9:22)

Splits - 8:53, 9:17, 8:59, 9:12, 9:47, 10:00, 3:08

If you get a chance, hop on over to Steam8's blog.  She's been feeling a little down lately, and could use some encouragement.  She says she feels like Snap, Crackle, and Pop.  I think she's right.

Burt, that is a nice long run. Keep that up pal!

You always see the coolest things on your runs! Thanks for trying to cheer my up! Made me laugh hard! You are the best Burt!

Colby - thanks, but I'm feeling a little sick today. Summer cold thing. Hopefully it won't last.

S8 - Well, if I can't have a pity party for you, let's have one for me!

I hate loops that are uphill the whole time. Why can't they obey the laws of physics like the other loops?

From RAD on Fri, Jun 03, 2011 at 16:24:37 from 98.202.17.113

Nice run there Burt! Gotta love those uphill both ways routes.

...Rice Krispies!

Snap, Crackle and pop are a lot cuter than I remember...

From Burt on Fri, Jun 03, 2011 at 17:37:52 from 206.19.214.144

Joe and RAD - We start at the top, so that any way we finish, we're going uphill!!! You get it??? Nevermind!

Scott - Are you feeling a little conflicted right now? Maybe you should see a psychiatrist.

Burt, I love the pic. I even showed my hub and we had a good laugh! I need your photo shopping skills. What do you use?

I use Microsoft Paint.
