Thank goodness for Rattletrap.  This morning my Garmin didn't turn on.  I would have flipped out and probably released my aggression in the form of bruises on my kids' butts (totally kidding), if I hadn't read RT's blog yesterday.  He said he merely had to reset it.  I went on-line to see how to do it, and voila (that's French for voila) it was back on in seconds.  So I took about twenty minutes to clear out some of my history.  Then I set it to alert me every 8:10.  But when I took off, I felt really good.  I felt like I could maintain the pace I was at for the entire run.  Oh man, I just looked at the clock.  I'm going to be late for work.  Bye now!

Dude, awesome pace. Your 10k PR will fall very shortly.

From seeaprilrun on Tue, Jun 02, 2009 at 11:00:23 from 68.102.144.140

Wow Burt--check out that pace. You seem to have really had a breakthrough in your paces lately.

From Metcalf Running on Tue, Jun 02, 2009 at 12:42:44 from 207.225.192.66

Yahoooo your pace is great! Nice that your garmin was able to get fixed :)

From Teena on Tue, Jun 02, 2009 at 12:52:51 from 67.177.20.13

SWEET PACE BURT!!!!

Seriously ... that is AWESOME!!!!

From Nevels on Tue, Jun 02, 2009 at 13:07:18 from 131.204.15.93

Eric is right; you're 10k PR is fixing to get destroyed.

Solid running.

From twinkies on Tue, Jun 02, 2009 at 13:26:45 from 63.241.173.64

Your pace is great, but your French could use a little work.

From Kelli on Tue, Jun 02, 2009 at 15:26:23 from 71.219.98.183

Dang Garmins!!!!! Make sure to clear your history out often, or it will stop functioning altogether and you will have to hard reset it (which, by the way is HARD and took well over 24 hours to get just right!)

I am glad RT saved your kids' butts!

NICE workout speedy guy.

From Vis on Tue, Jun 02, 2009 at 16:00:15 from 208.88.9.50

You're cruising, Burt. Makes me think I need to recommit myself.

From Lucia on Tue, Jun 02, 2009 at 16:58:16 from 74.9.147.114

That's amazing, did you know that voila in Spanish is voila too?

From Rhett on Tue, Jun 02, 2009 at 18:49:26 from 170.215.58.122

Burt, I can't believe how fast you have gotten so quickly, and to do it feeling good is even better. I hope yo made it to work on time.

From Burt on Tue, Jun 02, 2009 at 18:53:54 from 68.76.197.194

Thanks guys. It didn't really feel like I was running that fast today, but looking back, it does seem to be one of my faster runs for this distance. I guess all those miles last week paid off.

Rhett - if 8:45am is on time, then yes! Hey, I only have to get here before my supervisor. (And hope he never sees my blog.)

From Desmond Lomax on Tue, Jun 02, 2009 at 22:23:48 from 160.7.242.143

Burt,

Keep it up. One day when I grow up I will run like you. lol

Great run! And I'm glad I could be of service to you (and your kids) for the garmin issue.

From Samantha Dean-Howard on Wed, Jun 03, 2009 at 07:26:31 from 78.32.130.9

Great training Burt, excellent yes I agree it will be a new PR for 10k..... NO nature LOL

Garmins can be temperamental at times but cant all digital thingy majiggyyyysssss voila typo :-)

From Steve on Wed, Jun 03, 2009 at 11:08:09 from 155.101.182.79

Nice pace! That's awesome.

From Kelli on Thu, Jun 04, 2009 at 18:22:10 from 71.219.74.247

UH-OH, no running? TOO HOT?

From Burt on Thu, Jun 04, 2009 at 18:52:57 from 68.76.197.194

Maybe tonight. We'll see.

From Eric Day on Fri, Jun 05, 2009 at 11:37:49 from 189.192.31.171

Still no running? You were doing so well...

From Burt on Fri, Jun 05, 2009 at 11:42:40 from 68.76.197.194

I know Eric. I'm a loser.

Actually though, I just posted yesterday's run. And everybody should check out Merri's blog:

From Kelli on Fri, Jun 05, 2009 at 11:44:44 from 71.219.74.247

Burt, are you hacking into people's blogs???

From Burt on Fri, Jun 05, 2009 at 11:54:06 from 68.76.197.194

I swear I didn't do that. It seems like something I would do, and I'm surprised there is somebody besides Montelepsy and Riverton Paul that is funnier than me on the blog.

From Kelli on Fri, Jun 05, 2009 at 12:58:33 from 71.219.74.247

Now to decide whether or not I believe you...

From Sam Dean-howard on Fri, Jun 05, 2009 at 15:55:46 from 90.201.147.127
