30

Hard to believe, but I am 30 now.  Wow.  I remember when 30 sounded so old and now I am.  My 30's are going to kick butt because my life is headed in the right direction and I am hopeful.  My birthday weekend was the best.  My best friend Cathy flew out for the weekend and it was wonderful.

We went to do Rocky Horror which is one of my favorites, listened to some jazz music, I had my one alcoholic drink for the weekend, then the rest of the time we played in the hotel pool and hung out enjoying seeing each other for the first time in 3 years.  It was a fantastic start to my 30's and I hope it only gets better from here.

Polar Dash 5K

Today I did the Polar Dash 5K to start 2016 off right!  I finished in just under 38 minutes!

I am so proud of my time!  I walked less than five minutes of that, the rest I jogged.  The first mile and a half straight I was able to jog.  By my next 5K in February I think I'll be able to jog the entire time.

It was a nice race and for sure one I would do again.  Maybe next year I'll sign up for their 10K.  It was however a very cold race and the Polar Dash name was very fitting.

I've concluded I am not a very photogenic runner, but I'm just excited I'm able to run now.

I am also super excited I earned my first Medal!  It's a pretty spiffy one too.
