...and the latest blogger I've met in real life is......drumroll please.......Tracy!!! Can I just say how delightful Tracy is? I think she said good morning to more people than me! Tracy is on vacation and is working her way across the country from Illinois. She has a cousin that only lives a few miles from me, so naturally she has to see Arizona's favorite son. Me. Since she's been here before but has never run here, we went to South Mountain so we could see all of Phoenix. It's a tough climb, but only 2 miles up. She did great! I'm not sure if she had to stop and walk because I just left her in my dust and made her find the way to the top by herself. It was kind of warm. I hope she didn't get a sunburn. But she is going to run with me tomorrow, so I guess the climb wasn't too bad.

Look at Tracy. Nicest smile on the blog. Except for Scott Wesemann, of course.

I promised her a nice flat run for tomorrow. Thanks Tracy!

You heart Scott Wesemann.

From Burt on Wed, Jun 22, 2011 at 11:54:29 from 72.223.90.79

Yeah. I heart you, too, Jun. This is the run I want to take you guys on when you come down here. When is that again?

From Tracy on Wed, Jun 22, 2011 at 12:24:52 from 68.2.71.56

That picture's worse than the one I just posted.

I did eat your dust. It was sweaty.

From Burt on Wed, Jun 22, 2011 at 12:28:10 from 72.223.90.79

Bahahaha! No, that was the high pollution advisory!

From jun on Wed, Jun 22, 2011 at 12:28:13 from 205.158.160.209

The only way I'd make it that far south into AZ would be because I am on my way to Mexico as I run from the law.

So, give me a couple of weeks.

From Lily on Wed, Jun 22, 2011 at 12:31:02 from 67.199.178.210

Good times. Looks hot. Hot or not, still looks fun.

From Burt on Wed, Jun 22, 2011 at 12:34:20 from 72.223.90.79

Jun - That's why you have an alias. Everyone, his real name is Craig! Don't let him fool you. He's a fugitive!

Lily - you think me and Tracy are hot or the weather is hot?

From Scott Wesemann on Wed, Jun 22, 2011 at 12:39:28 from 66.239.250.209

Tracy does have great teeth.

From runningafterbabies on Wed, Jun 22, 2011 at 14:45:07 from 71.195.219.247

What a fun run!

From Burt on Wed, Jun 22, 2011 at 20:50:12 from 72.223.90.79

Melody - It was fun. When are you coming back?

From SlowJoe on Wed, Jun 22, 2011 at 21:12:21 from 75.109.104.60

Tomorrow maybe you can go to the dangerous part of town and drop her there.

From Dan on Wed, Jun 22, 2011 at 23:49:41 from 24.209.83.20

Burt your list of real lifers keeps growing... good smile too, giving Scott a run for his money I'd say.

From GoBeth on Wed, Jun 22, 2011 at 23:52:08 from 71.201.21.192

There should be a "like" button for this one! Looks awesome!

From Burt on Thu, Jun 23, 2011 at 00:16:18 from 72.223.90.79

Dan - she's got a smile that it seems to me reminds me of childhood memories.

Beth - Tracy lives in Ratatouille Illinois. Two hours from you.

From RAD on Thu, Jun 23, 2011 at 00:16:56 from 98.202.17.113

Excellent run Burt and Tracy! I love meeting bloggers in real life. Makes my hours at the computer stalking people seem a little more 'normal'.

From allie on Thu, Jun 23, 2011 at 00:24:35 from 24.10.191.18

i have yet to meet even one person on this blog in real life. how do you do it, burt?

i like your pictures. sounds like you had a fun morning.

From DaleG on Thu, Jun 23, 2011 at 00:24:57 from 173.116.66.164

Guns n roses.

From Burt on Thu, Jun 23, 2011 at 00:40:58 from 72.223.90.79

RAD - You're just happy to be in my profile pic.

allie - It's a talent. People like me.

Dale - Nailed it. I think she looks but can see through the fog you create from your breath.

From DaleG on Thu, Jun 23, 2011 at 00:43:52 from 152.216.7.5

LOL....I started thinking how creepy my last entry was, even though I thought it was funny, so I deleted it. I guess I should have left it.

From GoBeth on Thu, Jun 23, 2011 at 01:08:23 from 71.201.21.192

That is the coolest name of all towns in Illinois by far!!

From Burt on Thu, Jun 23, 2011 at 01:14:52 from 72.223.90.79

Dale - It's only creepy if you're older than 35.

Beth - I'm pretty sure that's the name. I'll verify it later.

From DaleG on Thu, Jun 23, 2011 at 01:51:04 from 152.216.7.5

Uh oh

From runningafterbabies on Thu, Jun 23, 2011 at 08:09:15 from 71.195.219.247

Sometime when I'm not pregnant!

From seeaprilrun on Thu, Jun 23, 2011 at 08:54:35 from 174.70.177.86

Cool pics! You both have lovely teeth!

From Merri on Thu, Jun 23, 2011 at 11:17:09 from 160.7.252.148

scott does have a nice smile doesn't he? be careful tracy :) kidding only kidding.

From april27 on Thu, Jun 23, 2011 at 22:44:23 from 99.188.251.180

Love the scenery on this run! very jealous! Burt's sweaty dust-ewww!!!

From Rhett on Fri, Jun 24, 2011 at 16:50:00 from 216.67.211.106

looks like a cool trail run.

From Brent on Fri, Jun 24, 2011 at 17:10:55 from 66.7.127.67

Burt, you both look really happy, top of the mountain? I did meet a blogger last saturday, eightkidmom, at the summer games.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rool sout

From The Quiet Pirate on Sat, Jun 25, 2011 at 21:58:22 from 174.110.223.249

It's Saturday night, and still no post about your Thursday run. I'm guessing you've been arrested for abducting pretty ladies and parading them around the greater Phoenix area while sweating on them and kicking dirt in their face.

Either you were arrested, or you're running from the law with jun.

Either way, keep running, and be careful in the showers.

From RAD on Sun, Jun 26, 2011 at 01:59:55 from 98.202.17.113

"Murdered by Pirates is good!" :)

From Steam8 on Mon, Jun 27, 2011 at 00:52:02 from 166.70.55.77

Yep, Scott still wins, but she does take a close second! Trail looked fun!

From Squirrel on Mon, Jun 27, 2011 at 09:18:27 from 75.105.134.2

So cool! Someday i want to meet tracy and burt!

From Tracy on Mon, Jun 27, 2011 at 14:52:27 from 173.24.38.54

I want to see this famous Scott smile before I'll concede. If he has dimples, he has me beat for sure.

QP, Burt fled from attempted kidnapping charges. I think he made it as far as California. I dropped the charges, so he might be back soon.

And Squirrel, I can meet you anytime! The drive isn't far!

From Burt on Mon, Jun 27, 2011 at 16:08:59 from 206.19.214.144

Thanks for dropping the charges Tracy. A little Stockholm syndrome goes a long way. And it's not so much dimples for Scott as it is his pearly whites. Check these out: http://burt-mccumber.fastrunningblog.com/blog--Midway-is-really-pretty-little-town-/06-17-2010.html

From Tracy on Mon, Jun 27, 2011 at 16:12:05 from 173.24.38.54

I concede.

From Steam8 on Tue, Jun 28, 2011 at 19:20:29 from 166.70.55.77

What is up Burty Burt? You are on the Lone Faithfuls list! :( Post!

From Burt on Tue, Jun 28, 2011 at 19:26:39 from 206.19.214.144

Sorry Amy. I've been so busy lately. I'll post one of these days.

From Steam8 on Tue, Jun 28, 2011 at 19:29:31 from 166.70.55.77

:( It isn't as entertaining on here without you!!

From Burt on Tue, Jun 28, 2011 at 19:56:04 from 206.19.214.144

Oh, that does my heart good.

From Leandra on Tue, Jun 28, 2011 at 23:33:43 from 71.37.96.118

Why do you never do runs in Benjamin with me and Merri?

From Burt on Wed, Jun 29, 2011 at 00:38:16 from 72.223.90.79

Benjamin Button?
