It's my birthday and I can cry if I want to... it's my BIG 4.0. birthday this week and today when I was out running, I realized that I'm not one of the young girls in my running bunch... I'm one of the old gals... OUCH! How did it come to this... But I have to say, I am super excited for my birthday! My hubby and the girls are spoiling me big big time this year!!! Not sure I deserve more spoils after my Italy spoil, but hey it's a special birthday! So I'm rolling with it!
Week 2 Tutorials were off the charts which is leading me bravely to new creative play with new things I have never heard of or seen before... like ScratchBoarding and Sgraffito and I'm kind of beside myself. Misty is a wealth of information and man alive, I got home from finding these small items with much excitement in my belly... I can't wait to play!!! I am sure I will mess up and make a mess of things but I'm strangely okay with that... I know where to find these items if I do and they weren't too expensive and it's released something in me to learn freely and to play freely!
This is my 3rd week with my local group of runners, and I am thrilled. I had a tough run this morning but I am loving the challenge. I am pushing myself, it hasn't been a breeze on any level. On all three days that we run, there are major hills for the first half of the run, making for long slow endurance running. I am still working on my base fitness, consistency being my primary objective and holding off the speed-work for now. This week I will consider adding another day of running to my regime... a 2 hour trail run over the weekend! Hope I will manage...
On this positive note - have a great week further.
Happy birthday! The 4.0 isn't that bad, actually the best so far ;)
ReplyDeletealso been playing with all the new art supply... but i've fallen a bit behind and feeling slightly overwhelmed.
Thank you - everyone tells me 40's are the best. I'm hanging onto that.
DeleteI have too but I am keeping up to date with watching the tutorials. I know I will keep going back...
Happy birthday, my friend! You are a gorgeous, wonderful 40, and give me hope for my own 40. All my 40s friends rock...I think 40 is the new 30. Anyway, hope it was a great day!
ReplyDeleteThank you sweet Beth!!!! Just keep telling me that. I had a great day. The week was a bit insane and looking forward to this week... hope you are doing well!
