I didn't get out the door this morning 'til 9:40am.  It was 80°out.  But when I finished it was 70°.  Byooteeful.  I ran passed an old man coming out of the corner Walgreens'.  He was wearing his old man white cotton shirt with a Whataburger cup in one hand and his prescription drugs in the other.  I called out, "On your left", and "Good morning!" as I passed.  He replied, "Okay man!  Go for it!"

Splits - 8:40, 8:49, 8:58, 9:04, 9:10, 3:52

Not a bad progression run if I do say so myself.

Good job, man!!! You went for it.

I like the decline progression sometimes too.

From Burt on Fri, Oct 07, 2011 at 15:29:05 from 72.223.91.148

Don Gardinero - I went for it all day long!

Seth - decline? Dang it! I did it wrong!

From Bonnie on Fri, Oct 07, 2011 at 15:32:57 from 128.196.228.134

hmmm ... "regression" perhaps?

Regardless, good job Burt-my-friend!! It was indeed beautiful today!

From Burt on Fri, Oct 07, 2011 at 17:27:36 from 72.223.91.148

Bonnie - you and your statistics. Love it!

Chris - Did you google Whataburger?

allie - get some chopsticks.

Hey Burt.... How's the job hunting? Just think, if you were in Idaho you could be in 5 inches of snow the first week of October.

From Bonnie on Fri, Oct 07, 2011 at 21:45:54 from 128.196.228.134

Rye, if you want to know how job hunting is going you have to become a Facebook friend. If you were able to see what he has been up to ... you might just think he had too much time on his hands ;-).

But I would warn against looking ... you will never be the same.

From Rye on Fri, Oct 07, 2011 at 22:12:01 from 174.27.114.143

Bonnie, I must say that I am very curious! I just need to be accepted as a friend..... Don't know if that will happen or not.

From Burt on Fri, Oct 07, 2011 at 23:06:36 from 72.223.91.148

Rye - 5 inches of snow? Tempting. And as far as being my friend on Facebook, I'm not sure I could allow a bishop to see what I've been up to.

Bonnie - All those pics I just posted were created by bloggers. Bloggers that weren't me.

From ChrisM on Sat, Oct 08, 2011 at 08:19:15 from 86.10.81.85

we need a whataburger in the uk!
