It was mostly four miles. But I had to dodge a real, live skunk, a smallish deer, several cars and an assortment of bikers. To top it off, it was half comfortably downhill, and half not-so-comfortably uphill. It was beautiful.

Today is the day - it's Amazon.com's birthday! And mine. I'm not sure whether being exactly twice as old as Amazon is depressing, cool, or just kind of weird. It's been a busy, crazy week and I didn't get out on a run until almost 11 today. It was hot, but not as hot as it could have been. I spent the entire three miles contemplating my new status as a forty year old and wondering if I should do something special to commemorate the event. I should probably have done some crazy training and run forty miles today, but that's a totaly normal, insane thing for a runner to do, and probably would have left me immobile for the rest of the summer. Not worth it, in my humble opinion. I have some twin cousins that marked their thirtieth birthday by donating thirty baby blankets to a charity. That would have been brilliant if I'd thought of it a year ago. So then I thought maybe I should choose something to do over the next several weeks or months - forty random acts of kindness or something. And then I thought of what I really want to do, which has nothing to do with turning forty, but would be cool. Maybe I'll get my landscaping act together and plant the Lambert-Erickson Memorial Raspberry Garden and the Brunson-Jensen Memorial Flower Garden (with roses and irises and snap dragons), and an Oregon Shade Garden with hostas and ferns. I'm so ready to have beautiful gardens around my house. I've been lacking time, money and motivation for too long. Maybe I can figure out a way to do it this year. It's not as selfless as donations to charity, but I think it might be a cool way to honor my grandparents and my husband's grandparents and keep their memories close.
