Yes, today I am 32.
I kinda like that number better than 31. Don't know why, though.
I think this year will be even better than the last one. And the last one was pretty darn good to me.
So I'm off to party (and take the trash to the dump, LOL!), and I'll see you all tomorrow after my race! :-)
I used to be an athlete. In high school, I was on the track team. In college, I was a varsity rower. But then life happened. I graduated from college in 1998, got my first real job and started slacking in the exercise department. Add two kids and a few extra pounds and I was unhappy. In November 2006 I started running again as a way to shed some weight and get some much-needed "me time". And now I am back in school to pursue a career in nursing. Here's my journey.
