I went running with JulieC today for my first run of the year.  Nothing like last year's adventure, but enjoyed the company.  My legs are still sore from Saturday.  But if I get a little more consistent, I should be able to get my fitness back to where I want it.

Were you in Utah? Or was she in AZ? Huh.

I may be thinking of the wrong person:)

Happy New Year Burt! Nice way to start out the year.

A belated Happy 2012 Burt, way to start the year out! And yes, I'm finally back an will work hard (running and posting) to earn my keep. :-)

From Burt on Mon, Jan 02, 2012 at 20:44:27 from 72.223.93.131

Tara - hee hee. I may have led you to believe she was someone else. Silly me.

QP - Yeah. I didn't see any dead animals, but it was pretty good.

Rossy - nice to have you back.

From Tracy on Mon, Jan 02, 2012 at 21:52:55 from 50.103.225.65

Burt, I'm impressed by your ability to jump right back in with a nice 10 mile race. I bet you're styling in those new shorts. I just hope you're washing them in between runs.

From Burt on Mon, Jan 02, 2012 at 21:56:45 from 72.223.93.131

Truth be known, I borrowed the shorts from the bag lady.

From Tracy on Mon, Jan 02, 2012 at 21:58:06 from 50.103.225.65

Stole it right out of her cart as you passed by with a "I wanna punch someone" face?

From Burt on Mon, Jan 02, 2012 at 22:01:59 from 72.223.93.131

lol! No, I ripped them right off her person.
