The Big 3-0

Today is my birthday! I think I'm supposed to be upset, because it's my 30th, but I feel pretty much the same as I ever have, so I'm not too worried about it. :)

Tom made a really good apple pancake/custard/french toast type thing for breakfast - we aren't quite sure what to call it!

One of my (now former) co-workers sent me a video of all my kiddos shouting "happy birthday!" - it was really cute. :)

Even Google was on board with wishing me a happy birthday.

Tom got me an Athleta gift certificate (to feed my workout clothes addiction) and a BOSU ball because I have been talking about wanting one. :)

I asked my Grandma for an Oregon State tee shirt so I can properly support the Beavers from the East coast.

I took my time heading out the door this afternoon, but then I had a really nice run.

The park was a little crowded.

It ended up being perfectly timed, because it just started to sprinkle as I was finishing up. By the time I pulled out of the parking lot, it was full-on raining.

I realized today that I really need to stop thinking of myself as a 10 minute miler. Most of my runs these days are much faster. I'm just so used to telling people that I'm not very fast, I need to get over that mental block.

It has been a pretty fantastic day so far! Now, excuse me while I go peruse the Athleta website...
