I'm about to have a birthday.
36.
3 + 6 = 9.
That's how many miles I just got done running.
I may be getting older.
(Seems to happen every year).
But I'm still in the game, folks.
Still in the game*.
*If I can do this, you can do this. Yes, I mean you. Running is healthy for the heart, but it's really, really good for the soul, too. It sends a surge of good will through my veins and every time I go for a "long" run, I'm sure this would somehow help to solve the worlds ills, if everybody would just run several miles every week, there would be so much good will surging instead of insurgencies. And then we could all be friends and help each other in our time of need, right? If you are still reading this, then you are a true friend and I will consider it a birthday present from you to me. I will think of you on my next long run and send some more good will your way. See, it's positive cycle? Now, go for a run and you'll thank me later on your next birthday. I give you a play list to help you get started. Here goes. . .
The Long Haul Play List:

Great tunes... I use some of these during my workouts as well. But I think I feel an iTunes splurge coming on :-).
Hope your day tomorrow is fabulous!! Maybe Rich will give you another day of doing things for/with you.
Way to go Becky! I am truly impressed. Hope you have a great Happy Birthday tomorrow. We will be having rain and snow here. So count your blessings.
I saw you starting your run yesterday and thought, "boy, I wish I could do that!" Love all your tunes too. Hope you have a great birthday! You deserve a great day!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BECKY! p.s. I LOVE that you listen to Miley. :)
Happy birthday! Sorry we did not get to celebrate with you tonight. Hope California Pizza Kitchen treated you well.
Happy, happy birthday to you, Becky! Hope it was a great day. You, amazing mama o' six, deserve lots of love on your day. 9 miles...that is awesome! Exercise really does something amazing for us, doesn't it. My knees don't allow me to run anymore, but my elliptical is a great friend. We're going to have to give the Killers a try...we're kind of slow catchin' up with new music, but I've heard good things about them.
i am so so so impressed.
so good to see you're still in shape when you're pushing 40! Holy cow, 9 miles, that is amazing. How about yous send me a mix CD and I'll send you one, okay? Then maybe I could run too, I'll start with one mile please, since I'm only thirty-1. And Happy Birthday lady, we missed you at Mom's party this weekend!
Here Here for Long Runs! And I love that we are the same age. It makes me think I am part of the cool club. I turned 36 on Jan. 21st. ha ha!!
