Lily is such a speed demon. Maybe she's on speed.

From Scott Wesemann on Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 11:23:18 from 66.239.250.209

Burt, are you ever not on the blog (serious question).

From Burt on Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 11:55:10 from 72.223.90.79

Or she's possessed by a demon.

Scott - I live in the blog. Like Tron.

From Chad Robinson on Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 11:58:20 from 67.136.62.186

HAL? Is that you?

From Burt on Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 13:08:02 from 206.19.214.144

Chad, you know all the movies. And Merri knows all the Disney movies. Tell me what this one is - Any of you boys smithies? Or if not smithies, per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

From Chad Robinson on Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 13:14:16 from 67.136.62.186

We thought you was a tooaaad.

From Burt on Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 13:21:32 from 206.19.214.144

Do not seek the treasure!

From Chad Robinson on Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 13:22:18 from 67.136.62.186

Damn! We're in a tight spot!

From Burt on Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 13:25:41 from 206.19.214.144

Look at Delmar as your paradigm of hope.

Yeah. Look at me.

From Chad Robinson on Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 13:28:52 from 67.136.62.186

He's bonafied!

From Burt on Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 13:32:35 from 206.19.214.144

I don't know Everett. Was it just the one Woolworth or was it the whole chain?

From Burt on Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 13:36:58 from 206.19.214.144

The only thing you ever did was get hit by that train.

From Chad Robinson on Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 13:37:39 from 67.136.62.186

This place is a geographical odity. Your 10 days away from everywhere.

From Burt on Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 13:40:01 from 206.19.214.144

I hate cows more than I hate coppers!

From Chad Robinson on Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 13:43:20 from 67.136.62.186

Gopher? Everett.

From Burt on Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 13:45:14 from 206.19.214.144

No thank you Delmar. A third of a gopher will only arouse my appetite without bedding her back down.

From Burt on Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 13:46:49 from 206.19.214.144

Well the two of us were fixin' to fornicate!

You'll have to excuse my erusticated friend unaccustomed as he is to city life.

From Burt on Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 13:47:55 from 206.19.214.144

This is Governor Menolaus Pappy O'Daniel. And he'd sure appreciate it if you voted for him in the next election and bought his farina.

From Burt on Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 13:48:28 from 206.19.214.144

Governor Menolaus 'Pass the Biscuits' Pappy O'Daniel.

From Scott Wesemann on Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 13:51:37 from 66.239.250.209

Burt- You're clogging my freakin' email.

From Chad Robinson on Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 13:53:07 from 67.136.62.186

Seriously what a fantastic movie. The quotes are nearly endless. And don't call me BABY FACE!

BTW, Nice 11 miles Merri, keep plugging in the mileage and the speed will come.

From Burt on Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 14:00:09 from 206.19.214.144

You're welcome Scott. Keep up the good work Merri!

From Merri on Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 14:40:31 from 160.7.252.148

I've got scars and lumps and bruises

Plus something here that oozes

And let's not even mention my complexion

But despite my extra toes

And my goiter and my nose

From Merri on Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 14:40:56 from 160.7.252.148

btw chad when will my calves feel back to normal? :) the vibrams really do make you sore.

From Chad Robinson on Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 15:05:41 from 67.136.62.186

Frying pan anyone?

I don't remember my calves bugging me for to long, but I was essentially building up from ground zero with only 20 some miles a week (and sometimes less). The biggest concern is top of foot pain from generally doing to much to soon (foot stress fractures are no fun). Just keep it light and easy and you should be fine. Some lady at the gym last night was giving the treadmill a beating it didn't deserve with her vibrams (I can't imagine she will be lasting to long that way).

From Merri on Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 15:14:43 from 160.7.252.148

so far no top of foot pain. mostly just right heel & achilles.

From Steam8 on Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 23:33:25 from 166.70.55.77

What is up with everyone having achilles problems? I think if you are running with Lily you must be fast!

Okay...I just looked at your times. You are way fast!

From Merri on Sat, Jun 11, 2011 at 00:15:55 from 160.7.252.148

Thanks S8, but those were my glory days. :) ha

From Burt on Sat, Jun 11, 2011 at 00:19:07 from 72.223.90.79

Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end, we'd sing and dance forever and a day. We'd live the life we choose, we'd fight and never lose, for we were young and sure to blah blah blah.
