Got to the treadmill this morning.
20061130 25:20 minutes 1 mile
I actually have a plan with this, once I can get 1 mile under 15 minutes I will go to two miles. But today was a great workout, I will spare you the details.
Today is my birthday, I am 31 today. I have entered new territory now as I have no baggage from my past about my age anymore (well except for when I turn 45… don’t ask it is not a pretty picture!). I have no self inflicted baggage, when I was a kid there were certain birthdays that I looked forward to or at least thought about – I would turn 25 in the year 2000, my Golden Birthday (last year)…
One’s golden birthday, also called a champagne birthday, is the day when the age one turns the same as the day in the month they were born. (e.g. someone turning 20 on January 20th celebrates their golden birthday). Source: Wikipedia
But this year is just another day it seems, sure I got free donuts Graeter’s Danish from a coworker and we are going out for sushi at lunch (Janet, I owe you) and I will get a gift from the kids tonight (which I think they will be glad to finally give to me as they have had it for like a week or two). But I must be getting wiser with age, I already have Janet’s birthday gifts for her (and yes it was something I had to buy). It is weird though, I still feel like a kid or at least younger than I probably should. Or maybe I shouldn’t? Now that is a question to think about.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!
There is nothing wrong with feeling younger than your age. Just make sure you don’t regress into the pre-teen adolesence again. That could get ugly. LOL Besides you have 4 kids and if you were propper, stuffy and boring what fun would that be for them. Have fun feeling young and playing with your family. You go to work and support your family and supply them with the basic needs and sometimes beyond right?. Then I believe that is mature enough and the rest should be lived with a fun and light heart.
Have a great day and don’t forget to have fun too.
