It was raining again this morning.  I hope they don't cancel the race this Saturday.  People from Arizona freak out when it rains.  Actually, the race is on farm roads.  So if there's a lot of mud, they very well could cancel it.

If they do, I'll have to hit the slopes with Vinh.

Get some sleep. :) Love the poles.

Cancel because of rain. That's just silly.

Nice job on the photo. Looks like a great place for a run.

What a guy Vinh is, still only wearing a vest and in those conditions!

From Samantha Dean-Howard on Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 05:09:37 from 78.32.130.9

Ha ha, my my thats a wicked photo Burt, your so naughty LOL

From vinh on Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 07:03:58 from 75.77.22.187

Oh snap! lol...That is a good photoshop pic! Too bad I've never went skiing. Thanks for making me look like a pro Burt. I guess you got me. How are you feeling about the race? PR ready?

From Bonnie on Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 12:39:20 from 64.119.33.134

They wont cancel because of rain ... I assure you. What do they think we are baseball players?

Good luck tomorrow Burt!!!

I would be careful with Vinh, Burt, I am pretty sure he could kick your behind ;-).

From Samantha Dean-Howard on Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 14:06:13 from 90.195.99.79

Good luck with the race Burt, and try and enjoy it too...looking forward to reading the eventful blog :-)

Paul - I was up 'til 1am last night doing my kid's homework. That'll make you grumpy.

Twinkies - Bruce RUN2DAY is the one that said he heard that. I agree. Silly.

Chris - Vinh is a man's man.

Sam - It is a wicked photo, huh? Do you like the shadow? LOL!

Vinh - Are you sure that's a photoshop job? Hmmm...lol. I think I'm PR ready. We'll see about sub 45, but I'll be gunning for it.

Bonnie - My father always used to say that Chuck Norris would beat the snot out of Bruce Lee if they ever fought because he's so much bigger than him. I'm pretty sure if I sucker punched Vinh, I'd have a chance.

From AmberG on Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 15:02:32 from 64.255.89.12

lol, , , I'd say hit the slopes! Vinh looks totally focused, , , , so great!

GOOD LUCK at your race :)

From Marathon Dreamer on Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 17:47:37 from 200.52.168.6

Bonnie- Burt has been doing P90X - soon he'll be able to kick all our behinds!!! I didn't realize that they cancel races in AZ because of rain....that's pretty funny!! As usual, you don't cease to surprise me with the hysterical pictures!!!

From Burt on Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 17:52:31 from 206.19.214.144

It would be a shame if they did. I'm not afraid of a little mud. Hopefully it's just a vicious rumor.

Also P90X does give me roid rage.

From rAtTLeTrAp on Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 22:55:41 from 24.19.93.139

Good luck in your race.

I hope Emily is feeling better.
