woo hoo! Enjoy the nice cool weather while you're here. I'll be far from the camera lens...unless you need a pitch-hitter runner and are willing to deliver a baby just in case :) I keep trying to convince SOMEONE to take me on their team, but no one will!

Ragnar will be a blast, I hope you get to catch up with a ton of bloggers! I want to see the pics.

From KP on Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 10:46:48 from 65.208.22.26

ohhhhh... i love pics! (as long as i'm not in them)

be sure to take lots and share them, please!

From Burt on Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 11:44:46 from 206.19.214.144

Rachel - How cool is it getting there at nights? And no need to worry about me delivering your baby. I've seen it done enough in the movies. All I need is a glass of water and some warm towels. Or is it some warm water and glass filled towels? No, that's for making someone pee blood. Oh yeah, now I remember, a catcher's mitt and some hot dog tongs.

KristEn - you're time is coming soon enough.

From KP on Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 11:46:50 from 65.208.22.26

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

THAT is not what i was talking about.

NO.

Oh so jealous you're doing ragnar! And so glad you'll be in Utah. Feel free to stop in at Lily or Lyns house for a warm home cooked meal on your way in or out of Utah. :)

From Nevels on Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 13:19:35 from 131.204.15.93

looking forward to partaking of your photographic prowess...

From RAD on Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 15:43:49 from 67.172.229.125

Burt, it's low 50's at night, but you'll be at a much higher elevation when you sleep. So, it will be about 10-15 degrees less than that. Chilly for sure, but hopefully you'll get to run through the coldest darkest hours :) I had leg 10 last year and got to run around Echo reservoir (10 mi) about 2AM and it was one of my favorite runs EVER!

Oh, and a mitt and tongs will do it...oh, and a shoelace and we're set! :)

From Leandra on Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 15:58:56 from 67.214.251.82

Burt, I have a friend trying to get rid of her Ragnar spot. I made a post about it but maybe you could help spread the word :) And then take pictures of whoever fills her spot.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

From Lily on Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 23:09:14 from 67.199.181.73

When are you coming over to our hood?

From Burt on Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 23:19:17 from 206.19.214.144

KP - how did you know? FB stalker!

allie - I'll be watching the bushes.

Brent - I have a feeling I won't be getting any sleep whatsoever.

Lily - Merri invited me over to your house any time. I'll just show up some day.

From Merri on Wed, Jun 16, 2010 at 11:44:48 from 160.7.252.148

Burt if you come to SF we can re-create the picture we took a few years back when we girls were all suns cheer leaders.
