Halelujah!  Ginger didn't poop.  Ginger didn't poop!  High-ho the dairy-o, Ginger didn't poop!  But she was off to the races.  Man did she drag me today.  I didn't time myself, but I wish I would have.  My knee felt great.

interesting song. It sounds like something my dad would have written... sorry... I just compared you to my dad. LOL

Nice run. It was chilly out. Where you able to keep warm?

From Burt on Tue, Dec 09, 2008 at 11:39:02

It started out a bit brisk, especially with the way Ginger darted out, but I always warm up fast.

From montelepsy on Tue, Dec 09, 2008 at 13:33:24

What kind of dog is Ginger? I'm assuming she's not a cat on a leash. I'm also assuming she's a she and you're using a leash.

From Burt on Tue, Dec 09, 2008 at 14:50:09

Those are good assumptions, Mike. She's an Australian Sheppard.

From montelepsy on Tue, Dec 09, 2008 at 14:52:40

Is that the kind of dog that was in Babe?

From Burt on Tue, Dec 09, 2008 at 15:00:18

I haven't seen that movie in forever. You got me there.

From Lucia on Tue, Dec 09, 2008 at 15:07:56

WOW, Mike, you found a movie not only that Burt can't quote beginning to end but also that he hasn't seen??? Nice work! :)

From Burt on Tue, Dec 09, 2008 at 15:28:59

Don't rub it in. Hey Rocket. What's this quote from?

"...y cuando mueras, solo tus piojos te echaran de menos."

From kungfublonde on Tue, Dec 09, 2008 at 15:34:27

Y Tu Mama Tambien!

And I think those were the dogs used in Babe, which means your dog is Mike's favorite kind of dog.

Congrats on the super fast, poop-free miles.

From Lucia on Tue, Dec 09, 2008 at 15:34:59

Hmmm... you got me there... Did they make a movie about your life, Burt? :)

From Lucia on Tue, Dec 09, 2008 at 15:36:38

There's no way Burt would see that movie Rachel!!!

From kungfublonde on Tue, Dec 09, 2008 at 15:40:42

Just a guess. It was the only Spanish title I could come up with off the top of my head :)

From Lucia on Tue, Dec 09, 2008 at 15:43:53

Nice try :)

It sounds like a Disney movie line... Was it Alladin? (ok, I cheated... I looked it up...)

From Burt on Tue, Dec 09, 2008 at 16:15:02

You have got to be kidding me Lucia!!! How did you guess that??? Oh, nevermind. You looked it up. Ha! Get your presentation done! Tramposa! That means cheater is Spain, but it could be worse in other countries.

From walter on Tue, Dec 09, 2008 at 22:55:33

Burt you cease to amaze me! The parties we could throw! I heard Jerry Seinfeld say in a stand up that "I wonder what aliens looking at our planet think when they see us walking our dogs and then picking up their poop, we are the degenerate species." lol

From Kelli on Wed, Dec 10, 2008 at 13:29:34

Congrats on the poop free run. You now have a well-trained running dog to drag you to your fastest speeds yet!
