I'm never quite sure if I totally get ripped off on my birthday each year, or if I get a 38 hour birthday. When I woke up this morning my phone said April 6th, which is my birthday, but my wife and family refuse to acknowledge it's my birthday cause it's still the 5th at home, and by the time it's the 6th at home I'm already asleep and somehow missed the whole thing, and then about 4:00am my phone starts ringing off the hook with people calling me to wish me happy birthday, plus I just have to work all day anyway. So I'm going with ripped off. Years ago when Walter ran 40 miles on his 40th birthday I said that's what I was going to do it too. Well, obviously that would be stupid since Boston is a week away, and I had to work anyway. So another goal blown. Anyway, beautiful day today, a wind storm blew all the smog out of Beijing last night and this morning was the clearest day I have ever seen here. Cool temps, I could see the moon, and the sunrise was amazing. So a really nice birthday run anyway.
