You say its your birthday...na..na..na..na..na..na..Its my birthday too yeah!

OK- It really is my 35th birthday today AND I finished my goal of running 35 miles this week! Sure, I had to do over 17 today because I procrastinated, but as long as I can walk next week its all good- right? hee hee.

Had a very nice run w/ Heather & Chris. Matt & Nephi joined us for about 9 mi. of it. Matt, Chris & Nephi are a hoot. Matt & Chris are Nephi's parents. Nephi is 10 and ran the marathon last year & is doing it again this year- amazing! He has endless energy. Anyway we ran around Hurricane & got the scenic tour. First by a beautiful golf course, then some highway and even some trailer parks- a bit of everything! It was a great way to spend my BD morning.

There are 2 reasons (and really ONLY 2) that its good to be 35. First- I GET 5 MORE MINUTES TO QUALIFY FOR BOSTON! and Second- I get to move to 35-39 age category. But I'm kinda thinking #2 isn't really that great 'cause there are too many women that age that can kick my butt. But the #1 reason does rock!

Have a GREAT weekend bloggies!

Happy Happy Birthday Christi!!! You make 35 look good. Nice about the BQ time too. 3:45, right? You can do it!

Great job on your LONG run, too! Wow, what a great start to your St. George training.

This is your birthday song, it isn't very long! Hey!

Do you recognize that b-day song from Disneyland? If you are ever there on a b-day, (or close to it), you can get a pin from the city hall on main street and all of the employees sing that to you throughout the day. My girls thought it was a hoot a few years ago when we were there for their b-days.

I can't believe you did almost a 19 miler today to get to your 35! Very committed! (May need to be committed to a certain hospital for crazy behavior like that!) Congrats on the extra 5 minutes, even though you can do it without it!

Great Job! WOW. that is a lot of running. You are awesome.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Great job on the 35 miles this week, especially the LONG run today! You are doing so great and will rock the Hurricane Half next weekend. I hope you have a great day! Anything fun planned besides relaxing after that run?

After Matt (one of my running partners & THERAPIST) told me I was addicted to blogging on Sat. I didn't check my blog ALL weekend. I was thrilled today when I logged in and saw 11 comments wishing me Happy Birthday! THANK YOU all SOOOOO Much- this is a great addiction (hee hee!)
