Ode to 27

27, we've had a great run. Many in fact...

In our year together we have:

  • Ran our first 5 mile race.

  • PR'd a 5k @ 26 min.

  • Ran 2 10k's. (51 min. PR)

  • Ran our first 10 mile race.

  • Trained for and ran our first Half Marathon.

  • Trained for and ran our first Full Marathon.
Yes 27, we've had quite the run together... a full year of absolute amazing.

But alas, our time is over and now I must embrace 28. I can only hope that I benefit from all the time we have spent together... Here's to hoping that 28 will bring me less injuries, rounds of PR's for all the races you and I made our maiden voyages on and many more adventures. Thank you 27, for everything... and here's looking at you 28! Happy Birthday to ME!

Please pardon the absence of your regularly scheduled 3 Things Thursday... Be back soon!!!

Happy birthday doll! No wonder I couldn't find your results when I was searching the website. I thought you were younger than me, but none of those morgan's times were in the range I thought you'd be finishing in. Here's to 28 being even better then 27. :)

Sam Felsenfeld said...

Happy birthday! 27 sounds like it was great, but 28 is gonna be a letdown because you're gonna meet me in February.

Enjoy your day ... eat some ice cream!
