What's Your Birthday Wish?

So Saturday was my birthday....I was at a get together the night before with many woman I had just met (trying to meet people here in our new home...) and we got on the topic of birthdays. Of course the usual came about that they wanted to have the day to lay around and get pampered (believe me I like those things too!) and then they asked me what I had planned for my day. I very excitedly said, "Well if all goes well I hope to get up early, bundle up (it was 15 degrees), and get in at least 10 miles!" Cue the crickets and confused looks! These ladies are fit but they aren't runners which accounted for the crickets. Well my birthday came and thanks to my hubby I got in those 10 miles, time with my family, and a great dinner!



A total aside I am cracking down now on my resolution to lose weight. With a birthday so close to the new year it is hard to get rolling sometimes. I mean...I love cake! This week it is down and dirty time. Last week I got in 32 miles but truth be told my eating was not good! I mean I caught myself thinking yesterday, "Maybe there is something wrong with my thyroid since I can't seem to lose weight"...umm no you just aren't eating what you should!!! I want to hit 134 by the half marathon in March so I better get cracking! No excuses!!! Step away from the frosting!!!

  4. Happy Birthday! A couple years ago my husband and I decided to do a 12-hour race together for our second anniversary. Yep, lots (and lots) of crickets on that one...

  5. Great job on getting your 10 miles in. Good luck with your eating, it always seems when I try with food it back fires, but when I exercise I naturally just eat what I need and the weight falls off. Even as I say this, I am still struggling.
