Happy birthday to me!
I have now reached forty
And I got to drink tea. :o)
I also got to run with my daughter which made for a slow run, but she did a great job and I really enjoyed the fact that I had her company today.
I made a whole heap of changes when I realised that 40 was starting to loom in January 2013... and now that 40's here, I got to reap the benefit of a load of those changes. I ran... and I didn't feel pressured to do a 'proper' run, I'm comfortable about *not* always pushing myself... and after over a year of my running, my daughter actually wants to come running with me! How brilliant is that! I didn't quite see that change coming, some how. My son's just started running. My daughter's going to give parkrun a go soon. I love that my changes have rippled into the rest of my family. I'm so proud of them!
So, a short run to mark the start of my 40s. The day was filled with birthday stuff, but I still wanted to run. My daughter says that I'm a very good runner and I've nothing to improve. It tickles me that she thinks that (even if it's completely not true!). I said to her that there's lots of stuff I want to do with my running... but my most important thing is to carry on enjoying it.
Plus, there was tea!
