AM- 7.5 easy. It's my birthday today. Since I know some of you will ask- no, I'm not going to run 31 miles or anything like that. In fact, I'm not running any more today.  I'm going to enjoy a nice dinner with my wife and play with my daughters after work, something I don't get to do as often as I would like.

Happy Birthday. October Birthdays are the best (me, you, and Allie - that I know of). You also have the same birthday as one of my best friends. I hope you have a great day.

Maybe for your birthday challenge you should eat 31 bagels. Eh?

And I totally forgot to add Smooth to the October birthday list. Hers is on Friday. Phew. Glad I got that in.

Happy Birthday. The 31 miles did sound cool but family is always better. You might get cold running 31 miles in your birthday suit anyways....

Happy birthday. Cody and I will run through a puddle for you this evening.
