Birthday Week This and That and a Winner

December 12, 2011

Yep, smack in the middle of holiday chaos, yours truly is getting…even…Older! Actually I never minded as a kid because things were so festive and fun and my birthday often fell on class party day. But now? Well it beats the alternative I guess.
Thing 2: “Mom who do you want on your birthday cake:
Dr. Phil, Barefoot Contessa or Kara Goucher?”

I’ve been planting the seeds for a bike trainer for months now.
Bike trainers grow in the ground don’t ya know?
See where it says Cycle Ops Power? Yeah me neither.

Yesterday, Ye Olde Garmin would not hold a charge.
 I think I have the oldest Garmin known to man. And I’m ok with that…kind of… 
Geez my wrist sure is hairy.

Visions of this danced in my head.
Then Ye Olde Garmin started working again. So never mind.
Streak!
Many of you are on a running streak. Me? Target streak. Every freaking day. I am there. And, as if I even needed to defend my best mom ever title, I’m on an Abercrombie & Fitch streak as well. I drive the teenagers nuts in there, groping through their neat stacks, ultimately asking them to find sizes…not that I’m usually so high-maintenance but because I can’t see a damn thing it’s so freaking dark and cave-like in there. Pitch-black, heavy with the smell of noxious fumes cologne and oh the music. I won’t even start.
I thought I was so stealthy until Thing 1 said:
 “Mom you smell like Abercrombie…and why are you shouting?”
Angry ham update:
Although the ass-cheek therapy (or ACT) hasn’t gotten any less embarrassing easier, the angry hamstring seems to be enjoying it. I managed 22 miles (not all at once) last week and the period where it feels like I’m being chased by a barbed-wire-wrapped cattle prod is getting progressively shorter. The feeling that something’s flapping around in there is completely gone. I call that progress.

marciashealthyslice I'm a working mom who, as part of a mid-life challenge, decided to run a marathon for kicks. I didn't plan on it becoming a hobby, but it did. I qualified for Boston at my second marathon and finished the 6 World Marathon Majors in London in 2019. Set no small goals. You never know what you're capable of until you try!
