Well, I didn't really want to say anything about this run, but I must.  It hurt.  But I'm bound and determined to make this a fresh new start.  No adventures today.  All business.

You'll get back in the swing of things Burt. Keep that determination amigo!

From Burt on Mon, Mar 26, 2012 at 13:42:18 from 72.223.93.158

Gracias!

Business in the front...party in the back :)

From Burt on Mon, Mar 26, 2012 at 13:46:11 from 72.223.93.158

No, that's Smooth.

From Bonnie on Mon, Mar 26, 2012 at 13:46:20 from 128.196.228.134

you mean all your other business was not really business?

From Bonnie on Mon, Mar 26, 2012 at 13:46:59 from 128.196.228.134

by the way, you better get back to it, your followers are dwindling, soon you be a few as me ;-)

From Burt on Mon, Mar 26, 2012 at 13:48:56 from 72.223.93.158

None of your business Bonnie. But I'd follow you anywhere.

From JD on Mon, Mar 26, 2012 at 14:04:37 from 70.96.78.149

i've said it before - your name spelled backwards is the phonetic first syllable of trouble.

keep it up Burt. jennifer lopez wants you to run!

From Burt on Mon, Mar 26, 2012 at 14:09:36 from 72.223.93.158

Your name spelled backwards is DJ, as in DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince.

From PRE on Mon, Mar 26, 2012 at 17:38:27 from 99.50.213.11

Burt,

Glad to see you got a run in today. With the illness, work schedule, minimal mileage of late, I was thinking maybe you were going to be giving running up. So again, glad to see you getting out there. Hope you soon feel well enough and find some time to get additional miles in there. Miss hearing about your "encounters."

From Burt on Mon, Mar 26, 2012 at 17:43:51 from 72.223.93.158

Thanks PRE, but I can't give up yet. I've contemplated what would happen if I do, and the negatives of giving up outweigh the positives.

From SlowJoe on Mon, Mar 26, 2012 at 17:48:14 from 69.131.141.92

All business, just like the front part of a mullet.

From SlowJoe on Mon, Mar 26, 2012 at 17:49:47 from 69.131.141.92

dang that's what I get for not reading all the comments first

From Rye on Mon, Mar 26, 2012 at 21:18:41 from 174.27.86.29

Hey Burt,

Just checking in, it's been a while. Sick and tired or tired and sick? Slacker!

From Burt on Tue, Mar 27, 2012 at 00:38:41 from 72.223.93.158

Joe - at least you made me laugh. That's all that counts.

Rye - That's the kind of motivation I need.

From JamesH on Tue, Mar 27, 2012 at 09:51:52 from 205.126.32.108

Cant think of any witty comments but glad your back at it.

From Burt on Tue, Mar 27, 2012 at 10:11:01 from 72.223.93.158

Thanks James. No witty comment required today. Remember, I'm all business.
