I finally got out for a run.  It's been years since I ran.  I think.  It felt pretty good.  But at a 9:14 pace, I don't expect that it would feel bad.  39° is just about too cold for me.  Well, too cold for shorts and a short sleeved T.  But I wore them anyway.

Also I saw RUN2DAY as I was driving down the street in my old neighborhood.  He was running, of course.  Merry Christmas everyone.  Remember the reason for the season :)

39 would feel like a heat wave! Glad you wore some shorts and t-shirt...enjoy that Arizona heat Burt! I hope you have a Merry Christmas and get another run in this weekend! :)

From DaleG on Fri, Dec 23, 2011 at 21:41:54 from 152.216.3.5

Merry Christmas to you and your family, Mr. Burt!!! Glad to see you finally got to go out and run.

Merry Christmas to you my bloggin buddy! Don't drink too much eggnog.

From Rye on Sat, Dec 24, 2011 at 10:45:49 from 174.27.90.151

May your weekend be full of Holiday cheer. Merry Christmas!

From april27 on Sat, Dec 24, 2011 at 11:47:24 from 99.188.251.180

Merry Christmas! Run some more this weekend!

From Tara on Sat, Dec 24, 2011 at 13:07:45 from 75.169.144.128

Merry Christmas Burt:)

From Bonnie on Sat, Dec 24, 2011 at 13:11:54 from 150.135.115.190

Merriest of Christmas wishes to you Burt!

From flatlander on Sat, Dec 24, 2011 at 13:16:51 from 76.31.26.153

Merry Christmas, it's been quite a ride for you this year but you've been cheerful throughout. Really glad you're on the blog and that I got to meet you once.

From Burt on Sat, Dec 24, 2011 at 13:25:36 from 72.223.93.131

RT - You too. And I will never come up with just one name to call you. It will always randomly be, RT, Trap, Mike, or Mr. Kym.

Tracy - Merry Christmas. I don't know what to call you now that you're moving up in the ranks at school. Mrs. N? Captain? Sir?

Amy - I'm dreaming of a white Christmas. So, another run in shorts with my white legs exposed will be dreamy.

Dale - I almost forgot that I like to run.

Adam Corndogelius - you can never drink too much egg nog. Unless you're lactose intolerant.

Rye - we'll be having the missionaries over for dinner tonight. I'm sure they're both from Idaho.

April - ok. Just for you ;)

Tara - thanks. Sorry for being so mean to you all the time.

Bonnie - May your Christmas be full of green cacti and blind javelinas.

Flat - I wouldn't change things for the world :)

From Brent on Sat, Dec 24, 2011 at 17:57:33 from 66.7.127.67

Master Burt - happy holidays, happy running, where ever the path leads.

Stay Kool, B of BS rools out

From Rhett on Sat, Dec 24, 2011 at 18:51:36 from 74.32.209.119

Merry Christmas Burt to you and your family. I hope Santa brings you some cool running stuff.

From Burt on Sat, Dec 24, 2011 at 20:51:08 from 72.223.93.131

Brent - the path leads to eternal glory crowned in the midst of the prophets of old.

Rhett - I just got a new pair of Saucony Hurricane 13's and two new pairs of running shorts with zippers on their pockets, which my wife thinks are a tad short, but in a sexy way.

From runninginheels on Sun, Dec 25, 2011 at 01:08:15 from 72.223.60.205

I know, right? This cold weather is so confusing! Because it's cold so I get bundled up, but then I get hot so I take off my bundles, then I get cold again. There's no happy middle!!

Merry Christmas!!

From Burt on Sun, Dec 25, 2011 at 01:21:07 from 72.223.93.131

RIH - fat guys like me have an extra layer of blubber that helps regulate a warm body temperature.

From rAtTLeTrAp on Sun, Dec 25, 2011 at 01:26:50 from 67.160.56.253

Mr. Kym, I think I like that better than Kym's husband.

From RAD on Sun, Dec 25, 2011 at 03:43:00 from 98.202.23.178

Merry Christmas Burt. Nice to see you out running and enjoying the cold :)

From ChrisM on Sun, Dec 25, 2011 at 08:31:08 from 86.10.81.85

Yuletide Felicitations Burt!

Nice job on the run!

From SlowJoe on Sun, Dec 25, 2011 at 16:06:19 from 74.195.74.62

Merry Christmas Burt - not bad for your first run in years.

From Burt on Sun, Dec 25, 2011 at 19:21:53 from 72.223.93.131

RAD - you light up my life. You give me hope to carry on.

Chris - Speak American please ;P

Joe - I've still got it.

From Lily on Mon, Dec 26, 2011 at 19:46:55 from 67.199.178.210

RUN2DAY, RUN@NIGHT. I say just run.

Good job Burty. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas

From The Quiet Pirate on Mon, Dec 26, 2011 at 23:39:19 from 71.51.226.105

Burt- hope your Christmas was wonderful. I'm sure Santa would have given you a high five if he would have been out while you were running. Your blog is a great gift; smiles & laughs every day- the blog that keeps on giving :-)

From runningafterbabies on Tue, Dec 27, 2011 at 01:14:39 from 71.195.219.247

It may be time for you to invest in a balaclava, Burt.

From Burt on Tue, Dec 27, 2011 at 01:22:14 from 72.223.93.131

Lily - I did have a wonderful Christmas. Thanks.

QP - If I had seen Santa, I would have patted him on the tush.

Melody - you lost me at banana hammock.
