Today was the Third Thursday Adventure Run.  I was assigned to work a checkpoint that was more than 2 miles away.  Today's high was 108°, and I honestly didn't think I'd get any runners.  But they all came like a swarm of bees.  The best part of the afternoon was getting to meet someone.  It wasn't Oprah, and it wasn't Sarah Palin.  It was Arizona Desert Monsoon!

Burt... I just passed you in miles for the year. Funzo Out!

From Burt on Fri, Jul 22, 2011 at 13:37:32 from 206.19.214.144

Curse you Funzo!

From RAD on Fri, Jul 22, 2011 at 16:25:45 from 76.27.16.189

Sorry I missed you both! Darn this carpool system never working out!

From Burt on Fri, Jul 22, 2011 at 16:30:14 from 206.19.214.144

RAD - I thought I saw you. But it was just Andre Kirilenko.

From Merri on Fri, Jul 22, 2011 at 16:34:34 from 160.7.252.148

What? How did I miss you? I ran with ADM the whole time.

From Merri on Fri, Jul 22, 2011 at 16:35:05 from 160.7.252.148

You should change your name to Arizona Desert Haboob.

From Burt on Fri, Jul 22, 2011 at 17:09:22 from 206.19.214.144

Merri - I should change my blog title since it's seemed to have lost some of its originality.

From Merri on Fri, Jul 22, 2011 at 17:10:56 from 160.7.252.148

From Burt on Fri, Jul 22, 2011 at 17:15:16 from 206.19.214.144

So you did. So you did.

From allie on Fri, Jul 22, 2011 at 19:12:07 from 24.10.191.18

From Burt on Fri, Jul 22, 2011 at 19:13:34 from 206.19.214.144
