Well, Folks. I looked in the mirror this morning and said, "Hey, not too shabby for 40! Happy Birthday, Gorgeous!" Then, I strapped on my running shoes and headed out the door for a short 2-mile run as the last part of my half-marathon training program. Now, I just have to keep myself healthy and uninjured for the next 48 hours! *fingers crossed*
I don't have fancy birthday plans. No cake (eww, blech!). No party (I'm not one for loud parties, these days). Most of the rest of the day will consist of preparing food for my overnight trip to Bethlehem, PA for my race on Sunday morning. I don't ever travel without my own food anymore. I'm thinking I'll make some pesto hummus and veggies, a little black bean and broccoli salad with tahini, lemon and garlic, and lots of yummy organic fruits, nuts, oh and this stuff I like to call "pumpkin pie in a jar which is canned organic pumpkin, dates, tahini, shredded coconut, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and cloves all whirled together in a food processor and put into little glass canning jars. It's so delicious and I could eat a mountain of it! I'm definitely bringing some of that for after my race!
Maybe between cooking sessions, I'll jump around a little on my rebounder to some fun music and maybe go for a walk in my quaint little Pennsylvania mountain town (it's a gorgeous Autumn day here!) and finish up my day with some yoga and the latest episode of American Horror Story. Like I said, I don't have a terribly exciting or dramatic life here, but boy is it a good one!
Have a fantastic weekend, Everyone! I'll be sure to report back to all of you on Monday about the race and dish all the details.
