4.3 for me

August 25, 2013 by MCM Mama 4 Comments

Today’s my 43rd birthday. I felt every one of those years on my 4.3 mile run today, but I was still happy to be out there running.

4.3for43

I’ve learned over the last couple of weeks that taking the summer off from running has tanked both my speed and my endurance. I’m ok with that. My body needed the break.

The rest of the day will be quiet. We went out to dinner at Mad Fox last night, my car was my present, and I have to go grocery shopping or there’ll be no breakfast tomorrow. Right now, though, Beer Geek and the boys are on a bike ride. As soon as I post this, I’m heading to the couch to read.

A run and a book – what more could I ask for on my birthday? (OK, maybe a cupcake and a beer…)

    Happy Birthday. I knew that there had to be a reason for me to feel the urge to bake cupcakes. How does Banoffee Cupcakes sound? They’ll be ready late this afternoon if you want to pop by and pick yours up.
