BEST BIRTHDAY EVER! Okay, maybe not ever, but it sure was a good one.
Met with Smooth, Karen and Wendy at the District. Smooth went back to my house to wait while we ran home. psst...did you hear that? I ran...outside!!! Geat big snowflakes falling all around, clear roads and decently warm temps. Snow globe run. Great friends. Perfect conversation. Only bad thing was the constant uphill :)
Seven glorious miles. I don't know pace...garmin died, I just loved it all!!!
Went to breakfast with the running crowd at Kneaders. SO yum!!! Thanks Smooth. Couldn't ask for more...nothing more.
I had to do 32 miles for my 32 years, but since running them was out of the question I decided to bike my remaining 25 miles. Talked my husband into joining me. Although it was a bit of a rough go - he isn't quite used to that much time on the bike - seat - well, lets just say it is a good thing we're done having kids :) The weather had cleared out and we had nearly dry roads and sunshine the whole time.
It was the best birthday gift ever for him to allow me to nearly kill him on this bike ride. I had a wonderful afternoon touring the west side of the valley with my man. Even if he may not be able to walk tomorrow, poor guy.
Don't know exact mileage or pace...shortly recharged garmin died at mile 20.
Came home in time to take care of after school stuff for the kids and get to stake youth choir that I somehow got roped into leading, then we took the family out to dinner to Benihana. Because of choir it was late and I swear the kids almost fell asleep watching the cook a few times, but we had a great, peaceful meal - which with my kids is a near miracle!!
Now I'm home and ready for bed. What a wonderful, glorious day. I really have nothing to complain about - except a few pinheads at choir I'd like to bop, but they're kids, what can we say?
If you could ever order a near perfect birthday for me...I think today would be it :) |
