Today I get to add another name to my Bloggers I've Met in Real Life list.  I'm up in Kingman for my sister's wedding.  I made arrangements to meet up with Kerry.  I planned out a route to run that I used to do a lot in high school, but because Kerry had to go to work early, we just met at his house.  It's probably a good thing we didn't do my route since it's on rocky roads, and it was dark out.  I knew it was going to be cold, but I didn't wear a whole lot more than I usually do.  We fat guys have good insulation.

Kerry's a super nice guy.  It was fun talking to him while we ran.  We kept a nice easy pace, which was good because the elevation was a little higher than I'm used to, and nature started calling around mile 3.  I felt so embarrassed, but I wasn't about to tell Kerry I had to go.  Then with a mile to go it almost became too unbearable.  I finally confided in Kerry about my predicament.  He got a good laugh out of it which helped.  Well, Nan, maybe someday I'll perfect the art of the PAS.  Until then, I'll just enjoy the company and conversation of my fellow bloggers.

Time - 1:07:30

Splits - 8:49, 8:43, 8:30, 8:42, 8:55, 9:29, 9:10, 5:13 for 0.61 (8:33 pace)

So cool! I really like the way you make an effort to meet all these folks we blog with. Sounds like a fun run.

From Kerry on Fri, Mar 05, 2010 at 14:58:24 from 65.73.204.62

great to meet you Burt! I have you on my Favorites - thank you for the technical support.

Congrats to your sister - have fun tomorrow (if I don't see you at the track).

You are a great guy - keep the hysterical posts coming!

Kerry

From Rhett on Fri, Mar 05, 2010 at 15:29:28 from 74.32.219.217

Very cool. I would have loved to join you guys, but I was up and running a little after 2 am this morning. I don't think you guys would have liked to start that early.

From Nan Kennard on Fri, Mar 05, 2010 at 16:19:50 from 174.51.250.151

PAS...LOL. C'mon Burt! What is the BIG deal?!? You just need to muster up the courage and DO IT! Its one of those things that seems worse in your own head than it is in real life, I promise. Your intestines will thank you when you do.

From Metcalf Running on Fri, Mar 05, 2010 at 18:00:02 from 207.225.192.66

It great that you have made the opportunities to meet so many of the bloggers! I have only got the pleasure of meeting a few.

Looks like you had a great run!

From missy on Fri, Mar 05, 2010 at 18:00:59 from 65.100.215.154

Awww I sympathize Burt, I was on a run with two really fast guys once...and I had to go, so slipped away since they were a lil ahead, and one of the guys came back to try and find me..I was like...yelling from the bushes..."I'm OK!!!"

From Kelli on Fri, Mar 05, 2010 at 18:15:01 from 71.219.89.82

Nice run, sorry about your predicament (just slow down to a walk, it'll go away....) and that is one of the runners i would like to meet, too, he seems super nice (and he is FAST!)

From Burt on Fri, Mar 05, 2010 at 19:18:15 from 24.156.110.190

auntieem - Hopefully I'll meet you some day.

Kerry - I'm going to try and make it to the track tomorrow. I need to be back to the motel by 9am.

Rhett - I'm not sure if I'd fallen asleep by 2am. You crazy!

Nan - I just gotta ask you, do you bring TP with you? Cuz I couldn't handle not, um, you know...

Lori - I'm glad you're still actively blogging while you're a-waitin' your surgery. Good luck. When is it?

Missy - "I'm okay! Nothing to see here!" LOL!

Kelli - did you hear us talking about you? Now both you and Kerry know that I'm not all that funny in real life. I have a cast of writers for me. Like Jay Leno.

From Bonnie on Fri, Mar 05, 2010 at 19:49:31 from 128.196.228.134

Burt -- I never leave home (for a run) without TP ... ever. I also carry a roll of it in my car, I have been very popular at races when I hand it out after the porta-pottys run out. When a girls got to go, a girls got to go ...

Missy, that is very funny! During TOU half, I went and found a VPB in the "woods" -- when the race was over and they took off my timing bracelet (one of those that goes around your ankles) - the guy said, "wow, where did you get all those thorns?" - the thing was covered in them ;-).

From Kerry on Fri, Mar 05, 2010 at 20:28:50 from 65.73.204.62

Burt,

I'll be at the track at 8am tomorrow - hope to see you there!

From Brent on Sat, Mar 06, 2010 at 13:26:21 from 168.178.30.194

Burt - potty stories - always good for laugh - it seems from your run you have recovered from the race -crank er up next week - expect a great week. Always nice to put a face to words.

Stay Kool, can you cross you legs while running? B of BS Rools out

From Kelli on Sat, Mar 06, 2010 at 14:42:01 from 71.219.89.82

My nose was itching (or is it ears??) all the way from AZ to UT, I knew someone was talking about me. I have to say, you are quite different in person0000you are a lot taller.

From Britta on Sat, Mar 06, 2010 at 15:11:58 from 99.93.194.70

Sorry your sick!! How was the wedding?

From Burt on Sat, Mar 06, 2010 at 15:44:23 from 24.156.110.190

Britta - Last night was the surprise 60th birthday party for my mother-in-law. It was great. She cried like a baby. Tonight is the wedding for my sister. We'll see how it goes...

From Nan Kennard on Sat, Mar 06, 2010 at 16:31:10 from 174.51.250.151

Yeah, TP is a nice accessory but grass, weeds, leaves, its all the same to me.

From Samantha Dean-Howard on Sun, Mar 07, 2010 at 08:20:39 from 90.195.99.128
