Tales of the gruesome.  Yesterday it was still dark out when I started my run.  The bad thing about that is when a critter runs out in front of you, you have no idea what it is, and you scream like a girl.  When I say you I mean you.  I, of course, do not scream like a girl.  But I will admit that when two bunnies ran in front of me, I was startled and it elevated my heart rate.  So this morning as I was running I saw a headless bunny in the bushes.  Not sure why a coyote would only eat the head.  And then a couple of feet away there was another bunny smooshed all over the road.  Coincidence?  After a while of more running a mouse (or a huge rat) scurried out in front of me.  Again I was startled.  So when I got home my wife told me there was a mouse caught on one of our traps.  The bottom line is - don't scare me.  You will die.

10 miles two days in a row! Nice! I'm going to go look at the mileage board now--you may be front page.

From seeaprilrun on Tue, Nov 03, 2009 at 12:36:03 from 68.103.250.39

Yep. front page. and not even the bottom

From Metcalf Running on Tue, Nov 03, 2009 at 13:32:09 from 207.225.192.66

Why all the longer miles lately? Are you getting ready for a race?

I will never scare you :)

From Burt on Tue, Nov 03, 2009 at 13:37:01 from 68.76.197.194

Yeah yeah yeah, April. Whatever. You're still ahead of me. LOL.

Lori - I'm still thinking about Mesquite. I just might do that marathon after all.

From Kelli on Tue, Nov 03, 2009 at 15:45:02 from 71.219.97.106

I think you should go to Mesquite, it looks like a good marathon!

This blog makes me laugh because in the last week I have seen two dead deer, a few snakes (alive) and more smooshed and disgusting animals that I could net even identify. But NO headless rabbits.

From Sam Dean-Howard on Tue, Nov 03, 2009 at 16:03:40 from 90.201.147.124

From Burt on Tue, Nov 03, 2009 at 18:03:54 from 68.76.197.194

Kelli - I'll go if you go.

Sam - I know you're evil. I'm just glad there's a giant ocean in between us.

Lyman, RivertonPaul, and Merri - thanks. It's nothing compared to most bloggers, but I'll take it.

From Burt on Tue, Nov 03, 2009 at 18:06:17 from 68.76.197.194

From Teena on Tue, Nov 03, 2009 at 18:08:36 from 67.177.20.13

Congrats on the 1000!!! :)

From Brent on Tue, Nov 03, 2009 at 20:39:24 from 76.8.201.223

Burt - did halloween come a couple of days late? Sounds in the dark, run like a girl (a fast one)when you scream. Have many tales about creatures in the dark, take pepper spray. Hey, nothing like the accomplishment of finiishing a marathon. I always choose the marathon if I can finish before dark (scary creatures out there).

Stay Kool, nice run today, B of Bs Rools out

20 miles already!!? Do you have a mileage goal this week?

From Sam Dean-Howard on Wed, Nov 04, 2009 at 07:43:13 from 78.32.130.9

Burt I can swim pretty good ya know LOL

From Kelli on Wed, Nov 04, 2009 at 17:46:13 from 71.219.97.106

We debated going because Scott's grandparents have 2 condos in Mesquite, so it would be FREE. But we are committed to NO racing until January. Maybe we should just come and cheer everyone on....but I HATE Mesquite. We will see.

From Burt on Wed, Nov 04, 2009 at 17:47:59 from 68.76.197.194

I think you should let your good friends from the blog stay in the condos. What do you think?

From Kelli on Wed, Nov 04, 2009 at 17:48:56 from 71.219.97.106

If you want to stay with his grandparents and parents (unless they are not there that weekend....)
