Another Year Older

Wow it's been a long time since I've updated. In the time that has passed not too much has happened but I did turn the big 2-6. I can't say it feels any different than any other year. I feel like after 21 birthdays are birthdays. I do love birthdays because they are the only day of the year that is all about you. On my birthday I let myself eat whatever and don't feel guilty. I let myself buy a "me present" (I haven't done that yet). I was talking to someone at work today who said that their 25th birthday was such a memorable birthday because they were so sad and felt like they were getting so old. I haven't had that birthday yet but I'm thinking it might be the 30th that does that to me, but who knows, maybe it will never happen. I like birthdays because it gives me a chance to look forward to the next year of my life and wondering what will happen. I can't say too much happened during my 25th year of life. I was really looking forward to lower insurance rates, but then i wrecked my car three months after my 25th birthday so that went out the window. I love that fact that I share my birthday with one of my best and dearest friends Laura. It's so crazy because we have the same birthday and our brothers have the same birthday. I guess we were just meant to be. I'm so thankful for her and sharing a birthday is just an added bonus. We did have some good birthday celebrations in college (the memories might be a little "foggy"). I really wish I could have celebrated with her yesterday but we are planning a celebration once it gets warmer and I can't wait!!!

Running is going well so far. I do feel this week I have kinda hit a wall with training. I have done all my training but it has been torturous getting off the couch to do so. I keep telling myself that I'm very fortunate that I am able to go to the gym and run, some people aren't so lucky. TNT training has been such an inspirational experience and it really does give running a meaning. I feel like trainging wouldn't be so hard if I was losing some weight or inches but that definitely hasn't happened yet (i'm obviously frustrated). The most I have run (with some walking mixed it) is 7 miles but this Sat. i have 8 miles to do. SHEW! At least it's supposed to be warmer and the snow is FINALLY starting to melt. I have actually seen a couple of patches of grass today (they are few and far between) and the SUN was out today! WOO HOO

Other than that not too much else to report.
