I drove 35 miles round trip just so I could enjoy running up and down my favorite hill.  It was a beautiful day out today.  I even said it many times while I was running.  Out loud.  I started running around 11:30ish am.  It was 62°.  It actually felt a bit on the warm side, but I brought some water with me.  I also brought a chocolate Power Bar and a chocolate Gu.  There were a lot of cyclists out.  But I think there were more people riding on motorcycles.  Good day for a ride, I guess.  I was pretty surprised out how good I felt.  Mind you, I was going as slow as usual, but I knew I'd be able to go the distance even though it's been over four months since I've gone quite that far.  The highlight of the run was getting my very first ever "Good on ya!"

Nice run McCumbo!

From Burt on Sat, Feb 02, 2013 at 14:21:52 from 72.223.80.89

Thanks brotha! I was calling all the cyclists brotha today, too. Well, not the girls.

From Tracy on Sat, Feb 02, 2013 at 15:55:58 from 50.103.236.137

You da man!

From Burt on Sat, Feb 02, 2013 at 16:21:21 from 72.223.80.89

I need ego boosters like that every day Tracy. Maybe twice a day.

From Tracy on Sat, Feb 02, 2013 at 17:07:53 from 50.103.236.137

Start running twice a day.

From Burt on Sat, Feb 02, 2013 at 17:14:47 from 72.223.80.89

Good idea! I will!

From Rob Murphy on Sat, Feb 02, 2013 at 17:15:42 from 24.10.249.165

I see all your snow has melted.

From Tracy on Sat, Feb 02, 2013 at 17:29:15 from 50.103.236.137

Yeah, I've decided I should be nicer to you. Or at least a little less hateful.

From Burt on Sat, Feb 02, 2013 at 17:30:59 from 72.223.80.89

Rob - I'm not familiar with that word. Can you explain?

Tracy - what brought about this sudden change of heart? I KNOW it wasn't anything I did. ;o)

From Tracy on Sat, Feb 02, 2013 at 17:39:19 from 50.103.236.137

I guess it's because I have a girl now. Sugar and spice and all that nonsense.

From Burt on Sat, Feb 02, 2013 at 17:43:44 from 72.223.80.89

That's refreshing. But I'm gonna miss all the noogies and swirlies you used to give me.

From Tracy on Sat, Feb 02, 2013 at 17:48:03 from 50.103.236.137

Maybe once a month I'll hang you in a bathroom stall by your tightie whities just for old time's sake.

From Lily on Mon, Feb 04, 2013 at 08:10:45 from 67.199.178.95

LOL @Rob Murphy!

Best comment ever.

From Chad on Mon, Feb 04, 2013 at 11:24:19 from 168.177.153.60

Any high fives for lady liberty yet?

From Burt on Mon, Feb 04, 2013 at 11:57:44 from 71.216.109.214

Sadly, no Chad. I haven't seen any yet. But if it makes you feel any better, my son just got a job as a shirtless model at the mall.

From Chad on Mon, Feb 04, 2013 at 12:32:26 from 168.177.153.60

Well he deserves a high five.

From Chad Robinson on Mon, Feb 04, 2013 at 12:55:15 from 50.73.39.89

"Good on ya!"

From Burt on Mon, Feb 04, 2013 at 13:07:49 from 71.216.109.214

Chad - how high? across the bridge of the nose? works for me.

Chad - Yes! That's #2!
