Total Distance

3.00

I didn't go out again last night like I wanted to because Emily is getting sick. Poor thing. This morning's run was on average almost 30 seconds per mile faster than all my other runs this year. That's a good sign. I was four for four on people saying good morning back to me. Then right before my house around the corner this old man was walking his dog and letting it bark at another dog behind a gate. He looked crazy. I took a gamble and said good morning. I'm not sure what he said back, but it wasn't good morning.

I guess I'm not the only one that plays the "good morning" game.

From Burt on Sat, Jan 05, 2013 at 12:09:13 from 72.223.80.89

Ever play the high five game? That's a fun one.

From Matt Schreiber on Sat, Jan 05, 2013 at 12:14:39 from 66.17.102.185

I can about imagine the funny looks. It's now on my list to try.

Good morning and Happy New Year Burty!

From Burt on Sat, Jan 05, 2013 at 12:43:29 from 72.223.80.89

Hi Steamer! Have fun with the Bieber tonight.

From SlowJoe on Sat, Jan 05, 2013 at 12:49:07 from 69.131.141.92

Hope Emily feels better soon.

In Oklahoma if you try to play the high-five game, people get out their guns.

From Burt on Sat, Jan 05, 2013 at 12:55:04 from 72.223.80.89

Joe - then you certainly don't want to play the 'good game' game.

From Steam8 on Sat, Jan 05, 2013 at 12:59:31 from 166.70.55.77

How could I not have fun singing to the Biebs tonight? I am SUPER excited! :)

From SlowJoe on Sat, Jan 05, 2013 at 13:01:42 from 69.131.141.92

that game might be ok. 2 things come out of oklahoma, you know.

From Burt on Sat, Jan 05, 2013 at 13:08:06 from 72.223.80.89

Steam - he has great lyrics.

Joe - uh, no I don't know.

From SlowJoe on Sat, Jan 05, 2013 at 13:20:47 from 69.131.141.92

just as well...it was a lame joke even if you got the reference

From DaleG on Sat, Jan 05, 2013 at 14:32:01 from 98.202.43.67

Good job, Burt

From Burt on Sat, Jan 05, 2013 at 14:33:57 from 72.223.80.89

Thanks Dale. Hopefully it will all come back to me.

From DaleG on Sat, Jan 05, 2013 at 14:39:24 from 98.202.43.67

Same here. I can't believe I let myself get so heavy and out of shape. It feels good to start workout and running again.

From The Quiet Pirate on Sat, Jan 05, 2013 at 18:43:43 from 71.49.55.78

You're on a running roll. Which is better than being a Jabba roll. Good work.

From Burt on Sat, Jan 05, 2013 at 18:45:02 from 72.223.80.89

But not quite as good as being on a jelly roll.

From RAD on Sat, Jan 05, 2013 at 21:33:32 from 67.171.119.50

Glad to see you back at it Burt! No excuses and even taking your hottie wife out on a date.

Oh, and if it makes any difference to you...I wear inspires too!

From Burt on Sat, Jan 05, 2013 at 21:35:10 from 72.223.80.89

You just went up a notch in my book RAD. Now you're at notch one.

From RAD on Sun, Jan 06, 2013 at 16:13:16 from 67.171.119.50

woo hoo! only 9 more notches to go :)
