Today is a very special day-my Mom's birthday. I had to call (as she always does) and sing her happy birthday early this morning. I just love that we celebrate birthdays as a special day in my family. Of course it's all I've ever known. But I simply can't imagine being in one of those families that treats birthdays like any other day (you guys know who you are). I try to be open minded and tolerant of differences, but with this one, we are right and they are wrong. So a big warm, happy birthday wish to my Mom on her special day.
Saturday morning Holly and I ran the Asheville half marathon over hill and dell, past Beaver Lake and up Lookout Rd. It was a challenging 13.1 mile course, to say the least, and we were happy to finish in about 2hrs and 9 mins. Actually, we ran the course a bit faster, but we stopped to visit with our support crew (Donna, Susan, Jan and Ellen, see photo) at our house which happened to be near mile marker 10. The new course is a good bit hillier, and it gave us a great excuse to pause before heading back to the race. They were sweet to come out and cheer us on, and the eclairs from the Creme bakery afterwards were pretty nice too.
