ahhh, the great escape! Glad you are feeling better.

From Burt on Wed, Jan 18, 2012 at 23:13:25 from 72.223.93.131

Thanks RAD!

From DaleG on Wed, Jan 18, 2012 at 23:25:29 from 152.216.3.5

Glad you're feeling better.

From Steam8 on Thu, Jan 19, 2012 at 00:04:56 from 166.70.55.77

You couldn't have run a .08 more to make it a full 4? It must feel great to not have OCD! :)

From Steve Piccolo on Thu, Jan 19, 2012 at 09:45:38 from 155.101.146.105

Sorry you have been sick. Hope you are on the mend.

From Rye on Thu, Jan 19, 2012 at 16:44:54 from 71.209.34.12

Exactly steam8... I think Burt is the only one that would stop a run .08 short.

From Squirrel on Thu, Jan 19, 2012 at 20:35:24 from 75.105.134.2

Oh man, i hope you didnt have what i had! Glad you are feeling better!

From Burt on Thu, Jan 19, 2012 at 20:35:45 from 72.223.93.131

Dale - Did you just plagiarize RAD?

Amy - it really is good. Now I'm off to correct all the spelling and punctuation mistakes on your blog.

Steve - I am about 55%. But that should be good enough for running.

Rye - My Garmin was in my pocket. Sooooooorrrrryyyyy!!!!!!!! Geez!

From Burt on Thu, Jan 19, 2012 at 20:38:26 from 72.223.93.131

No Squirrel. I did not have a yeast infection. Wait, you told me that in confidence. Forget that everyone!

From The Quiet Pirate on Thu, Jan 19, 2012 at 21:18:29 from 71.51.231.246

I figured out why you're under the weather... it's because they announced the Official Miss Liberty Tax 2012 and you didn't make it. My condolences, Burt. But Brittney Wojtaszek does look good in that liberty head-piece. Maybe next year........... maybe next year.

From DaleG on Thu, Jan 19, 2012 at 21:41:58 from 152.216.11.5

I need to get my material from someone, who better than RAD?

From RAD on Thu, Jan 19, 2012 at 22:47:37 from 98.202.23.178

everything is, after all, all about me. It wouldn't surprise me if everyone plagiarized me :)

From DaleG on Thu, Jan 19, 2012 at 23:58:52 from 152.216.11.5

everything is, after all, all about her. It wouldn't surprise her if everyone plagiarized her :)

From SlowJoe on Fri, Jan 20, 2012 at 18:03:49 from 74.195.74.62

Burt, you should have told us earlier that you were sick, so we could all say "get well soon." Big missed opportunity on your part.

From april27 on Fri, Jan 20, 2012 at 18:56:15 from 99.188.251.180

Glad you are better

From Burt on Fri, Jan 20, 2012 at 20:20:48 from 72.223.93.131

QP - I wasn't even runner up.

Dale - you got comedic skills.

Joe - I'm not a pity whore.

April - Thanks. Not 100%, but getting there.

From flatlander on Sat, Jan 21, 2012 at 09:36:53 from 76.31.26.153

Hope you are better by now.

From Burt on Sat, Jan 21, 2012 at 10:46:09 from 174.254.15.104

Quick question Mark. Does it warm your heart to see yourself in my profile picture every time you click my blog, or does it embarrass you?

From flatlander on Sat, Jan 21, 2012 at 10:50:32 from 198.207.244.102

Burt, you're famous! It's like having my picture with the president, only better. I was thinking about that race this morning. Even though it was pretty early in my running life and I can readily match those speeds today, it is still hard for me to run that fast. I was booking it that day.

From runningafterbabies on Tue, Jan 24, 2012 at 21:00:44 from 71.195.219.247

You still und the weather?

From Burt on Tue, Jan 24, 2012 at 21:20:29 from 72.223.93.131

RAB - I'm mostly better now. I even ran a little Saturday, but haven't blogged yet. Does that make me a sinner?

From runningafterbabies on Tue, Jan 24, 2012 at 22:14:36 from 71.195.219.247

There is only one person you should be asking that question to, and it is not me!
