Nice easy run with some of my Ragnar team.  Afterwards we had a meeting.  It's going to be fun.

I might try to get some more miles in this evening.

I have to give it up to my new blogging friend Steve Piccolo.  He started running again last year.  He lost 25 lbs and had an amazing race at SGM.  I want to be just like him, except for his ears.

Your team will to should do well at Ragnar, if you in the planning stages already.

If you want to lose 25 pounds, try eating more veggies. But be warned, it might turn your skin green.

You know everyone Burt!

I hope I can do the Northwest Passage Ragnar this year. Last year I was out of state for training on that weekend and on crutches too!

From Steve Piccolo on Sun, Jan 10, 2010 at 01:00:58 from 66.60.123.141

All the better to hear you with, my friend!!

From Steve Piccolo on Sun, Jan 10, 2010 at 01:05:52 from 66.60.123.141

P.S. I'm guessing that photo is from when I starred in Dragon Ball Z, the Japanese comic book?

From Burt on Sun, Jan 10, 2010 at 01:08:46 from 98.177.216.165

You got it Pic. You were always my favorite character.

From Samantha Dean-Howard on Sun, Jan 10, 2010 at 17:20:59 from 90.201.147.218

Burt I must be able to read you mind or something :)

From Burt on Sun, Jan 10, 2010 at 19:27:58 from 98.177.216.165

RT - looks like early registration closes 3/31/10. Plenty of time to put a team together.

Sam - why is it that you can read my mind?

From allie on Sun, Jan 10, 2010 at 19:42:20 from 98.202.24.36

go cardinals.

From rattletrap on Sun, Jan 10, 2010 at 19:58:42 from 24.19.93.139

I don't know enough runners to put a team together myself. I'm hoping that I can fill a spot for a desperate team at the last minute if I'm healthy this year.

From Burt on Sun, Jan 10, 2010 at 23:23:59 from 98.177.216.165

allie - what a game! They almost found a way to lose it. That's the difference between this Cards team and years passed. They manage to hang on and win.

RT - that's not a bad idea. And some teams may be desperate enough that you won't have to pay the registration fee.

From allie on Sun, Jan 10, 2010 at 23:40:46 from 98.202.24.36

i was hoping they would win just so their lame kicker wouldn't have to fear for his life

From Burt on Sun, Jan 10, 2010 at 23:51:50 from 98.177.216.165

When he missed that field goal I was just staring at the TV in utter disgust and disbelief.

I'll see you next week at PF Changs. (I still believe you're coming down.)

From Bec on Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 00:11:41 from 76.23.55.210

Burt,

I think you need to visit Allie's blog today. I can see some type of crazy photo coming from her entry.

From Samantha Dean-Howard on Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 17:53:24 from 90.195.99.110

Ahhh I can read your mind with the blog putting up a new piccy I said on FB lol

From allie on Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 18:10:17 from 98.202.24.36

BTW, burt---i am not coming to arizona anymore. i dropped it from my schedule because i am not ready. are you running it?

From Burt on Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 18:11:11 from 206.19.214.144

Oh yeah. Now I get it.

From Burt on Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 18:11:46 from 206.19.214.144

No, allie, but I still believe that you are. I can't give up hope.
