What To Do On THAT Birthday....


Yes - its that time of life!  I'm sitting here letting you know that I am mourning the loss of my 30s.  I've tried to lie and deny and deceive myself into believing that its not really happening, but I can only go so far and then I'm faced with an adorable picture of my friends' kids spelling out what my fate is.... 40 

I've had a lot of love and support today.... Thanks to Karlene, Kim, Kristine, Debbie, Jayne, Pr Farish, Brian, Kevin, Anson, Wendy, Pat, Cindy and so many others who have sent me cards, texts or called.  I spent about 3 hours of Karlene's phone call just catching up on life - that was a really nice birthday gift.

I have used this day to wisely avoid the obvious by not drawing too much light on this momentous occasion.  I ran 6 miles this morning and was going to do a 7th just to prove I'm better now than I was on my 30th, and then I just got really blazing hot.  But, since I had put that thought in my mind, I couldn't let it go so - to prove that I'm not old and decrepit, I'm going to head out for another 6 mile run in a few minutes.  Old people can't run 12 miles in one day, right?  I keep on telling myself that so, if you think differently, please do not inform me of this.  Let me live in blind bliss on this the day of my birth...
