My Birthday!!

Another year bites the dust......I actually had a nice birthday. I heard from a ton of friends- got several cards in the mail, flowers at work, gifts and a cupcake. Life is good!

I also celebrated my birthday with a short 3 mile run at McKinley Park with my team. It was good to get a little exercise before heading home to watch the finale of Top Chef (and Hung won! Hurray!).

While on one hand it sucks a little to be another year older- I really have a huge gratitude for the life that I have.

I'm lucky to have an amazing family- great parents and brothers that always make me smile and a brand new sister-in-law who makes our family even better than it was before.

I live in a great city, have a great job and wonderful friends. I have the worlds sweetest basset hound. I have peace in my faith and know that life is more than just years passing by.....

And once again, training with team in training has helped me to be more thankful for my body, my health and the ability to run 26.2 miles........
