Today is my 39th birthday! I feel so old. I cringe at pics of myself...I worry about every line...every place on my face that use to be plumped with fat when I was young that is now sunken...every bit of loose skin...I could go on and on. I really have to keep myself in check because at times I want to run to a plastic surgeon and say "GIMME A FACE LIFT...NOW!". I'm 39!!! That's crazy!At the same time...I'm healthy. I have a great family and a comfortable life. I don't have a lot of friends...but the friends I have are THE BEST! I woke up happy and I have been happy ALL day. Sometimes, I worry or feel forgotten...unimportant...today my friends, family, and loved ones reminded me that I am NOT forgotten. So...I went for a run...because that's one of my favorite things...and THAT'S what a girl should do on her birthday...her favorite thing! Then I had lunch with my son that shares my birthday. Afterwards it was my turn to have a birthday lunch at my favorite Mexican restaurant with my Mom and sis. When we were done, I went to get my nails done before going to work to cover J's class.
I got to the class. Those guys were gonna do the same workout he and I did yesterday. I was nervous and curious to see how I would match up when all the "scores" were in. I wasn't sure I could take crushing defeat, but I was okay if it happened. The guys got started...and they did a great job. AND...in the end...J and I did the most rounds! WHAT?!? I felt so strong! I decided that I may be older...I may have wrinkles...everything may not sit as high as it once did...but I AM STRONG!
BIRTHDAY RUN = 5 MILES
