I got ready to run this morning and my wife, bless her heart, brought me a delicious fluffy mushroom and asparagus omelet for breakfast.  How could I say no?  Besides, I'm in Ragnar training, and Ragnar is all about learning when and how much to eat.  After 9 Ragnars, I still haven't figured it out.  So I got ready to go, and the last thing my wife says to me is, "Don't let your heart explode on you."  What the hec_??!!??

That omelet sounds awesome.

From Burt on Thu, Feb 09, 2012 at 14:21:40 from 68.14.209.26

Oh my gosh Catherine. It was a dream come true.

From RivertonPaul on Thu, Feb 09, 2012 at 14:40:16 from 166.250.1.1

Burt, that was some early Valentines Day love.

From Burt on Thu, Feb 09, 2012 at 14:41:32 from 68.14.209.26

What? Valentine's Day is coming up? Thanks for the reminder!

From RAD on Thu, Feb 09, 2012 at 16:42:33 from 98.202.23.178

Wow, your wife gets total bonus points for that one!! Glad you got the Ragnar training in.

From Burt on Thu, Feb 09, 2012 at 16:44:06 from 68.14.209.26

Thanks RAD. Someday we should be in the same van. I think I can handle your stink.

From RAD on Thu, Feb 09, 2012 at 17:05:37 from 98.202.23.178

you may be able to handle my stink, but you couldn't keep up with my food intake :)

From Burt on Thu, Feb 09, 2012 at 17:08:03 from 68.14.209.26

I've told you I could take all the Dekker girls on.

From april27 on Thu, Feb 09, 2012 at 20:04:17 from 99.188.251.180

Woot woot! I can't wait for Ragnar pics!

From Burt on Thu, Feb 09, 2012 at 20:50:57 from 72.223.93.158

April - did you ever get your team put together?

From april27 on Thu, Feb 09, 2012 at 21:46:29 from 99.188.251.180

No my friend kinda bailed. I got Ragnar stood up! Lol

From Brent on Thu, Feb 09, 2012 at 22:40:13 from 66.7.127.67

Ain't love grand - gotta keeper - have fun Ragnaring it.

Grand Funk Out

From TylerS on Fri, Feb 10, 2012 at 08:30:02 from 63.248.99.121

IS there a "real" Ragnar training plan???...lol Good job on not letting your heart explode!

From Burt on Fri, Feb 10, 2012 at 08:45:02 from 72.223.93.158

Thanks Brent. I mean GFO.

Tyler - if you hear of one, let me know.

From allie on Fri, Feb 10, 2012 at 12:44:12 from 97.126.211.101

mmmmm. omelet. one of those substantial scrabble words that's worth very little points.

From Burt on Fri, Feb 10, 2012 at 14:23:40 from 68.14.209.26

Scrambled scrabble delight.

From Claudio on Fri, Feb 10, 2012 at 15:34:18 from 96.234.239.250

Burt - I'm glad that wasn't the VERY last thing she said to you! Ragnar's sound fun, one day I'll try one.

From Steam8 on Sat, Feb 11, 2012 at 10:52:59 from 166.70.55.77

Hahaa!!! I love your wife! What a sweetie. She is feeding you eggs to boost your cholesterol and hoping your heart won't explode. I bet she just upped your life insurance! ;)

From Burt on Sat, Feb 11, 2012 at 12:13:47 from 72.223.93.158

Claudio - the way I felt on the run I'm lucky it wasn't.

Steamer - You love my wife because she tried to murder me? You would!

From julieesplin on Sat, Feb 11, 2012 at 17:57:59 from 75.169.164.214

Steam 8 beat me to it, I was going to ask if you have much life insurance.

I didn't know Ragnar was all about eating, I thought it was about running. Ragnar = eat, drive, run, drive, eat, drive, run, drive, sleep 3 hrs, drive, run, eat, drive. If we could replace some of the driving with sleeping I'd like it more.

From Burt on Sat, Feb 11, 2012 at 21:06:15 from 72.223.93.158

Julie - Every time I run Ragnar my stomach does crazy things to me on my 2nd run. I figure it's eating related. But I could be wrong.

From ACorn on Sun, Feb 12, 2012 at 03:11:08 from 24.2.76.146

Nice run Burt! Your wife is hilarious, maybe you should take her to Ragnar for motivation.

From flatlander on Sun, Feb 12, 2012 at 07:59:20 from 76.31.26.153

I've been thinking about that omelet for a couple of days now. Especially during the last stages of a run. Would you mind posting your address?

From Burt on Sun, Feb 12, 2012 at 20:21:27 from 72.223.93.158

ACorn - Yeah. That would be great. "Get your lazy butt moving, you bum! I should have married your brother!"

Flat - We're having dinner for breakfast tonight. You have a standing invitation anytime.

From The Quiet Pirate on Mon, Feb 13, 2012 at 15:34:58 from 152.26.59.252

You talk a good game, but we'd make an omelet out of you and then make your heart explode in shame.

Just sayin'

From Burt on Mon, Feb 13, 2012 at 15:44:46 from 68.14.209.26

At least I'd die happy.

From Rhett on Mon, Feb 13, 2012 at 18:22:20 from 170.215.58.122

I've never seen fluffy mushrooms before, but the omelet sounds great. Way to step up your Ragnar training.

From ben on Mon, Feb 13, 2012 at 22:13:38 from 4.228.255.166

Ragnar is all about eating.., that is probably why no has asked me back.

From Burt on Tue, Feb 14, 2012 at 13:28:21 from 68.14.209.26

Rhett - I hear there's some mushrooms you can take that will make everything look fluffy.

Ben - Glen the Gazelle can't smell anything. Seriously. You can be on his team.

From ben on Tue, Feb 14, 2012 at 16:41:45 from 209.33.248.15

Smell is part of problem in addition to the space I take up with my 2 large ice chests of food.

From Burt on Tue, Feb 14, 2012 at 16:46:42 from 68.14.209.26

LOL! I just naturally assume everyone's always talking about gas.

From runningafterbabies on Tue, Feb 14, 2012 at 18:41:00 from 71.195.219.247

She probably meant exploding with so much love for her.

From Burt on Tue, Feb 14, 2012 at 19:11:26 from 72.223.93.158

Sure Melody. You always take her side.

From RivertonPaul on Wed, Feb 15, 2012 at 16:48:54 from 67.42.27.114

Burt, before looking at the Family Feud poll on my page, "Name a word that rhymes with song."

From Tara on Wed, Feb 15, 2012 at 19:07:05 from 75.169.154.92

HECK. Just say it, it will make you feel better. Good wife:)

From Burt on Thu, Feb 16, 2012 at 15:51:59 from 72.223.93.158

Paul - Too late Paul. I watched your blog videos like 10 seconds after you posted them :)

Tara - Watchyomouth!
