Today was my birthday. It was a bit of an odd day. Not exactly a great celebration. I spent about 5 hours splitting wood in my back yard. Then went down to Palmer for the Monday night Happy Run. I'm pretty slow, plus I always take the dog, so I leave a little early because I like to do the 5 mile route. I can't quite make 5 miles in the one hour to get back to the Palmer Ale House before 7pm, if I start at 6 with everyone else. But they don't really mind if we start early. Today my friends surprised me with a birthday cake when we got to the finish at the Ale House. It was delicious! What a pleasant surprise too. It was 73 degrees and I was pretty warm. I brought along a small water bottle and collapsible bowl for Baby because I knew she might get hot. We stopped twice for her to have a drink. I think she appreciated it. I had a few sips myself. She does really well on those runs. She runs the whole way, but of course, since she is a dog, we have to stop and sniff and pee at every branch, twig and rock. But we made it before 7. It was a gorgeous evening. I liked that I wasn't freezing cold like I usually am on those runs.
