Aging is overrated.

I'm not a big fan of the birthday hoopla. Well...more like I'm not a big fan of birthday hoopla surrounding my birthday. I'm the kinda gal who'd rather have a nice, chill evening with her hubby or a few good friends rather than spend it dancing the night away on a bar. Now, don't get me wrong, I love celebrating other people's birthday's in that fashion...but really, I'd rather have my own go down without fanfare.

And so, because aging is indeed overrated...today I am turning 24 for the third time.

Not too much is going on over here. Saturday's 10 mile run was great. Last night's swim class with Well Fit was awesome (and I really think it's going to improve my swim time in next year's tri's!). One thing I noticed was that the times from both my 10 and my 20 miler, McMillian plugs in a 5:44 marathon. I'll take it. But we'll just have to see what my body can muster up that day. It's anybody's guess. My second toe on my right foot is pretty effed up (think totally screwed up toenail meets horrible blister that has popped) and so I'm hoping that doesn't cause too many problems on race day.

Hmm...yeah...that's about it. Have a good day, everyone.

Happy Birthday, Barb! I hope it's a good one! I've been holding at 29 for quite a few years now. So far it's been working!

Happy Birthday!!!

See, I love b-day hoopla! I say "bring on the van full of balloons and strippers"! But...that may be why I can't really recall my 26th b-day. Hmmm...I have a hard remembering ANY b-day after I turned 16. Is this a pattern?

Anyway, DO have a good b-day, you're just a spring chicken!

Have a GREAT birthday! All the cool people are Libras!!

What I wouldn't give to be 26 again....or 27 or 28....or get to do 29 all over. Personally, I'm praying for the world to end Sunday so I don't turn 30.

Hmm... what?

;) I hope that you had a good one, and congrats on the swim classes. That seems to be the trend these days!
