This morning was a cool down run from last night.  Wowza.  I felt it.  My feet are sore.  Anyway, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to pose for a picture with Lady Liberty.  She giggled.  Then she got worried that she wasn't going to see me anymore because she thought I was taking it as something to remember her by.  I told her not to worry.  I would see her next week.

Freedom isn't free. Freedom isn't free. you gotta pay the price, you gotta sacrifice. for your liberty.

From Britta on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 12:32:28 from 99.61.114.82

U R too funny! Congrats on the 10k PR!!!

From Burt on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 12:42:41 from 206.19.214.144

Merri - the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere (thank you Google.)

Britta - Thanks!

From Rhett on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 12:48:42 from 74.32.222.21

Very cool. Way to make someone feel special.

Big congrats on the PR last night.

From RivertonPaul on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 12:51:15 from 67.42.27.114

So photogenic. Any you look great, too, Burt.

From DaleG on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 13:38:16 from 67.2.71.99

Is she really short or are you a giant?

Great picture!!!

From Burt on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 13:42:07 from 206.19.214.144

Rhett - Making people feel special is what I do.

Paul - That is my good side. Would you like to see my bad side?

Dale - I'm one of the tallest 6'1" men in the world.

From RAD on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 14:21:59 from 67.172.229.125

gotta love the lady liberty!!

From april27 on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 15:35:37 from 165.138.243.1

Nice pic and nice PR from yesterday!

From Scott Wesemann on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 15:39:49 from 66.239.250.209

The following is an excerpt from a conversation between Lady Liberty and her significant other later tonight… “The stalker is back. This time he wanted a picture with me. What a weirdo. Do you think I should call the police?”

From Stacie on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 16:04:59 from 174.52.12.218

1. whoa. I just noticed there's another Burt on here. Did you already know that?

2. you look different in this picture.

3. Is that the Music Man singing the chicken fat song on you tube?

4. You lost 50 pounds? That's amazing!

From Burt on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 16:23:55 from 206.19.214.144

RAD - God bless America.

April - Thank you! Are you just being nice because you know I'm going to post a picture of you soon?

Scott - The following is a exerpt from some pillow talk between you and your wife later tonight..."I'll dress up like a French maid if you dress up like that guy on the blog. You know, the one that sweats a lot."

Stacie - 1. Good old Burt Hoovis. He's never blogged, nor did he respond to my private message. There's also a Bert that's never blogged. I guess I scared them away with my stalking abilities.

2. The camera adds 20 lbs. 3. I don't know. We used to work out to that song in the 1st grade. 4. Thanks. Actually it's closer to 60 lbs, but I'm sure I'll gain it all back some day. If I'm lucky.

From Tracy on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 16:30:17 from 209.175.177.37

She looks so happy! I doubt she'll call the cops on you, but you might find that you have yourself a stalker.

Have you ever wondered why she's often outside at the same time as you?

From Scott Wesemann on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 16:52:48 from 66.239.250.209

Wow!

From Lily on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 17:24:57 from 67.199.181.73

This whole commentary is just.... amazing

From Burt on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 17:25:55 from 206.19.214.144

Tracy - I would be flattered to have a real life stalker.

Scott - Wait, I got that wrong. You're going to dress up like a French maid, and you want her to dress up like that sweaty guy on the blog. Whoever he is.

From Kelli on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 17:53:41 from 71.219.84.215

Really, there only is and always will be ONLY ONE TRUE BURT. Nice picture.

From april27 on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 18:50:17 from 99.188.251.180

I have been wondering if a pic was going to surface soon...hmmmm

From Karen on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 21:39:41 from 69.171.160.33

YAY! I want one now...

From Burt on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 21:57:31 from 206.19.214.144

Kelli - Thanks. Accept no substitutes.

April - I sure hope you have a good sense of humor.

Karen - You want a picture? Be careful what you wish for.

From april27 on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 22:05:22 from 99.188.251.180

Oh I see so you were bluffing...dissappointing..

From Karen on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 22:18:29 from 69.171.160.33

Not a picture...a little petite lady liberty!

From Burt on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 22:31:19 from 206.19.214.144

April - Oh, no, no, no. I'm not bluffing. I mean, you'll need a good sense of humor when you see the picture.

Karen - I know! Aren't they adorable?

From april27 on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 23:35:02 from 99.188.251.180

it sounded like you hadn't even worked on a pic for me yet! Oh yes i have a good sense of humor

From auntieem on Sat, Jan 29, 2011 at 11:15:13 from 98.247.176.184

Congratulations on your 10K PR! Sweet. Of course you can get closer to 45. I am working on that too.

From Toby on Sat, Jan 29, 2011 at 23:36:07 from 66.133.97.196

I love taking pictures with random people on the street (granted I don't know your background with this lady....but I'm sure it was totally random)!

Nice 10K yesterday!

From Burt on Sun, Jan 30, 2011 at 11:11:29 from 72.223.90.79

Thanks auntieem. Come down to Phoenix and we'll do it together!

Toby Baloby - Lady Liberty and I go way back. We've been high fiving each other for three days now.

From Burt on Sun, Jan 30, 2011 at 11:12:27 from 72.223.90.79

BTW - there were three Liberties working it over the weekend. Two of them were dudes again. None was the sweet little old lady.
