Blessed

Well today is my birthday.  43.  As I said to someone at work today, "well I'm still in the same age group" so can't be that bad.  LOL.  That's how we triathletes gauge our age really - whether we age up that year or not.  Unfortunately we also tend to age ourselves sooner than we need to since your age group is based on whatever you'll be by the end of the year.  So even if your birthday is Dec 31...you're already calling yourself another year older come Jan 1.  HAHAHA.  Someone else said "so 28 today huh?" and I laughed, and before I could even finish laughing my brain did the mental math and to come up with the "plus 15" and I nearly choked.  How did I get so old so fast??!

Birthday or not I did get up at 5 to swim.  I'm liking the solid green so far in training peaks - going for the full green this week!  I managed to finagle the evening off, but honestly, now at 8pm, I'm really just wanting to go to bed.  My 21-yr old daughter just laughs at me.  That's okay though.  Tomorrow will be a tough day - I've got my long run switched to tomorrow since I have a 10k race on Saturday that I really want to PR in, plus a 1:45 brick in the evening.  This will be a first for me to do my long run mid-week.  A challenge both mentally and physically.  Let's see if I am up to the challenge.

So mostly I'm blogging tonight just to say thank you for all the wonderful blessings I've received from my friends and family today, near and far.  I do feel very blessed to have so many wonderfully supportive people in my life.  Thank you all, you mean a lot to me.

Happy Training!
