A very easy three today because there may be a special guest appearance on my blog tomorrow...stay tuned.

So I was running by the ducks today and I'm pretty sure they are the ones that have been visiting my front lawn.  Someone said I may be seeing little ducklings soon, and I saw them the other day, but today I got close enough to see that they indeed are the ones that have been coming by.  Pretty sure.  The sad thing was I only saw two little ducklings this morning.  Did 7 little ducks go out to play over the hill and far away and when the momma duck said - quack quack quack - did only 2 little ducks come waddling back?  Or perhaps it was flatlander's alligator friends that snatched them up.  All I know is that when I was running by the momma, she shooed her babies underneath her wing opposite me to protect them.  Why do all mothers do that with their children when I come by??

Time - 26:36 (avg. pace 8:51)

Splits - 8:51, 8:49, 8:54

It's your sweat!

From Burt on Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 12:00:10 from 72.223.90.79

Why do you hate me?

From Lily on Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 12:00:49 from 67.199.178.210

Oh come on

From Derunzo on Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 12:17:14 from 64.56.60.130

My wife would probably take the kids to the other side of the street if she saw Chewbacca motoring by.

From JamesH on Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 12:51:48 from 209.33.214.26

I have to run in a completely different city to avoid you.

From Burt on Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 12:55:30 from 206.19.214.144

I am REALLY feeling the love this morning.

From flatlander on Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 17:17:42 from 198.207.244.102

Sorry about the gators. I really do love ducklings, and not just for dinner.

From Steam8 on Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 18:40:58 from 166.70.55.77

Maybe the mother duck thought you were a chupacabra!

From Steam8 on Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 18:41:48 from 166.70.55.77

Oh! I see you put me on your list! yay!!

From Burt on Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 18:47:56 from 206.19.214.144

Here's a little secret Steam8. I only put people on my list that put me on their's first. And if you haven't blogged in over a month, I take you off. So, don't let anyone fool you that I'm crazy because every single person put me on their's first. Who's more crazy? The crazy guy or the guy that likes the crazy guy?

From Lily on Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 18:50:07 from 67.199.178.210

ohmygoodness, Burt you are nuts

From Burt on Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 18:51:17 from 206.19.214.144

Hahahaha! I was thinking how nutty I was when I wrote that.

From Steam8 on Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 18:58:07 from 166.70.55.77

haha! I guess I better delete a few people...but Burt you will forever stay on, month or no month of comment!

From Steam8 on Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 19:01:21 from 166.70.55.77

Oh..and Lily what does it take? I am not on the list!

From april27 on Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 20:57:55 from 99.188.251.180

b/c mothers are smart

From Lily on Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 21:14:51 from 67.199.178.210

You're on the list now steam :)

From DaleG on Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 22:07:16 from 152.216.7.5

I only keep people on my list if they comment once per week on my blog. I think it's time to delete a name or two. :)

From allie on Thu, Apr 14, 2011 at 00:50:25 from 174.23.241.50

i will forever be offended that i am not on your list, burt. you hear? offended.

your new blog title is really deep. i can't stop crying.

From The Quiet Pirate on Thu, Apr 14, 2011 at 13:04:52 from 152.26.59.252

I'm guessing the Duck just doesn't want to be on your blog. And since you put her on there first, before she added you to her blog, she's a little miffed.

just a guess.

Hoping your special guest shows up and you have a great run tomorrow!

From Burt on Thu, Apr 14, 2011 at 13:06:51 from 206.19.214.144

Steam8 - you are so much cooler than Scott Wessemman. And that's saying something because Scott is pretty cool.

April - I guess mother's have instincts.

Dale - You've got very high standards.

allie - I hear you allie. I hear. You've had what, one person ever on your favorite list? I'm glad my new blog title has touched you so much. It's just something someone once said to me. :)

From Burt on Thu, Apr 14, 2011 at 13:31:36 from 206.19.214.144

QP - Quacky added me to his blog, but he hasn't blogged since Dec. 12th. http://quacky.fastrunningblog.com/

The special guest did show up, amazingly, and we ran to the temple and took pictures like we were a newly wed couple. But I don't want to blog until I have the pictures uploaded.

From Squirrel on Thu, Apr 14, 2011 at 13:51:46 from 209.175.175.238

You are truly scarier than a clown-even a duck can tell!!! Looking forward to the pictures!

made me think of you

From Squirrel on Thu, Apr 14, 2011 at 15:41:15 from 209.175.175.238

Yikes--ok so Colfax has like 800 peeps in the whole town--this so has to be a scam cuz i have never heard of this lady!

From The Quiet Pirate on Thu, Apr 14, 2011 at 18:12:36 from 174.110.223.249

Why am I amused that "quacky" really did add you to his list, and that you know the date?

Any why am I not surprised the entry belongs with the phrase "long and hard today" ?????

From Burt on Thu, Apr 14, 2011 at 22:55:37 from 206.19.214.144

Pirate! You're just easily amused. That's all.
