This morning I saw double stroller lady.  She was actually running the same direction as I was.  When I caught up to her I thought for sure she had seen my shadow or heard my footsteps, but when I said good morning, she jumped a little.  I apologized and asked her if she was training for anything.  Nope.  Just trying to stay in shape?  Yep.  Well, good, have fun.  Then I continued on around my WalMart loop.  As I was coming back down Rittenhouse I thought I saw her again.  I figured she cut through Ocotillo, which would surprise me that she would be brave enough to run by the ogling day laborers at Circle K (at least I imagine that they would sit there and whistle at any woman running by.)  It turns out it wasn't her.  It was an Asian man, and it took me about a mile to run him down.  This time I hollered before I got to him so he would know I was coming up.  Good morning.  Good morning.  Training for anything.  Nope, just trying to stay in shape.  That's good.  You?  I have a couple of races I want to do.  Rock n' Roll?  No.  My wife wants to do the Rock n' Roll.  Full marathon?  Half, I told her she is going to have to do it by herself.  You can do it.  I don't think I can find time to train.  Good luck.  And I was off again.  Nice run this morning.

Pretty fast miles! I am sure that if I tried to talk to people while doing miles that fast, it would slow me down or sure.

For years, I ran with the double running stroller! I have such happy memories of those runs; my two were always so cheerful about jumping in and going for a ride. I'm certain that it made runners out of them too.

you're such a friendly runner. lyns and lily just yell mean things at the other girls we pass when we run :)

Burt, where is Monte? Why is his blog blocked? do you know?

From Burt on Mon, Aug 31, 2009 at 17:22:14 from 68.76.197.194

He is facebooking now from time to time. His wife said he's just to busy, but she thinks he'll be back once his life gets a little less hectic.

Nice speedy miles!! Looks like you are making friends all over.

From seeaprilrun on Mon, Aug 31, 2009 at 20:56:27 from 68.103.250.39

Nice social run Burt! I hardly ever see other runners. I wouldn't know what to do if I did...

From Brent on Mon, Aug 31, 2009 at 22:15:14 from 76.8.201.223

Burt, were you wearing glasses? Asian man, lady pushing a double stroller, look very similar. That will my new standard answer: just trying to stay in shape, any shape - round, oblong, square, hex, pear or ship.

Nice consistant pace in the heat, run on, scared of the scales, Stay Kool, fatty shaped, B of BS Rools out

From Burt on Mon, Aug 31, 2009 at 22:25:18 from 98.167.151.26

Lori - you're my inspiration for friend making.

April - Just don't get all shifty-eyed, throw your hands up, and run in the opposite direction. People will think you're crazy.

Brent - He was wayyyy down the road and he also had a white shirt on. Give a guy a break. LOL.

great running as usual Burt/Bart im now scared of the scales LOL no before pic for you either ?

From argentinerocket on Tue, Sep 01, 2009 at 09:26:26 from 74.9.147.114

We need runners like you around here - most people don't even look at me when they go by me. Now, I'm also wondering if you need glasses... I mean, confusing an Asian man with a double-stroller lady... that doesn't sound right!

From Nan Kennard on Tue, Sep 01, 2009 at 18:13:20 from 174.51.250.151

Nice run! Were you serious about not doing the Rock and Roll Half? I think you should totally do it. You are great shape already and isn't the race all they way in January?

From Burt on Tue, Sep 01, 2009 at 18:18:09 from 68.76.197.194

Ummm...it's on Sunday, Nan. The last time I did a race on the Sabbath I was out of commission for two months.

From Nan Kennard on Tue, Sep 01, 2009 at 18:25:54 from 174.51.250.151

Dang. Same problem I have in CO. Most of the big races are on Sunday here too.
