Hood to Coast + thank you

I want to thank all of you who left me "happy birthday" messages yesterday!
I appreciate them all and I am touched by your kindness.

I had a great day, I got to run outside instead of my usual Tuesday treadmill run.  I got some nice gifts and I got to go see HOOD TO COAST!

Did you see it? I hope many of you had the chance to see it.  It was GREAT.  No really it was.  Better then I expected.  I loved everything about it, I could have watched that for hours!  I laughed : Dead Jocks and Rachel...really hilarious I want to be on THEIR team!   I cried: team Ryan...so sad..I never want to be that mom... And what about Kathy! She is one of a kind.  If you saw it; the visit at her Doctor right before the race is priceless!  He told her not to run the first leg and she looked at him with a smile and what did she do? She ran the first leg!


This made me want to

1. Go for a run a 11 pm..no no I did not..Bill would never let me:  the man got me pepper spray for my birthday for my Sunday long runs...!

2. Do that race one day, those of you who did run it, you are so lucky!!!

People clapped at the end..that is always a good sign, the theater was not full..not even close, that tells me I don't live in a town of runners!

Went to bed way pass my bedtime but it was worth it!

I went for a 5 miler instead of 3 since I could run outside today also, will do 3 tomorrow on the treadmill. 

Again thank you all for your lovely comments...and oh no no I am not a genius,  far from it, trust me: see the blond hair on my head well that is all natural...so there you go....

My husband gave me the best early gift...he stayed home and I get to go run 5 miles outside instead of on the treadmill!!!!! 
Got to wait for the boys for what they call the REAL gifts!!!

I cannot wait to go see the movie!!!
I love that today's date is all 1! I don't love that I am adding 1 to my age but what are you going to do right? After 40 it does not matter anymore!

Heading out for a 5 miler!

It's ranining again...

After a couple of days of sunshine the rain is back in Southern California....Good thing today I only had a 3 mile run to do.  I waited for a little break from the dripping clouds and headed out! I love running when it is cooler..today it was about 10 Celsius...perfect!

I took my kids to see Yogi Bear as promised....they loved it, I almost fell asleep but that is OK.

Is your birthday close to the Holidays?

Mine is right AFTER.  The absolute worst when you are a kid.  Nobody cares.  Actually most of my friends even forget.  You get the famous double-gift, no party because everyone is partied out and it is also really close to back to school, basically it sucks! 

At my age of course I don't care about my birthday anymore other then I get this about 2 days after Christmas: "OK Now what do you want for your birthday?" and not in the nicest tone, more like tell me what you want so we can get this out of the way kind of tone.  I get it from my brother, my mom and now even my husband....!  They will ask every day until they get an answer.  Well this year I have decided not to answer that question!  If they cannot come up with something then so be it.  Last time I checked it was not my fault that I was born that day.  One of my best friend back home was born December 24th and I have always sent a birthday present wrapped in non Christmassy paper for her separate from the Christmas presents and cards.  It is not that hard.

My youngest son is born February 2nd.  Not too close to the Holiday season but still kind of close and I always make sure to make a big deal for his birthday just like I do for his brother who was born in June.  I don't tell him he cannot have toys just because he just got some new ones at Christmas! 

On my birthday this year I will get to go see Hood to Coast! That will be awesome I know it!
I saw the preview today and it looks GREAT!  If you want to know if it plays near you look on the right side of my blog and you can find the info!
