My Birthday

I had a great birthday. I took the day off and spent the day with Jace. We got our teeth cleaned, ate sushi for lunch, went and got my hair done (super blonde, not sure if I like it yet), Tom fixed steaks, had some wine, and ate my favorite cake. As for the kids, yes, Yasmine is as tall as me now. This just happened in the past few weeks. Jace, you like his vest, don't you? The kid will not wear shirts at home so I asked him to put on a shirt or else he wasn't going to get any cake. Well this is what he ended up putting on. Nice, huh? And Addison wanted nothing to do with me, just the frosting on the cake.

Phoenix 10K

I ran the Phoenix 10K last Sunday. I have been attempting to train for the PF Chang's half marathon. (My sister will be running this with me in January.) I have been slacking so I signed up for this race. It actually went really well considering that the longest distance I had ran was 4 miles. My official time was 1:02.49. That is around a 10 minute mile pace. The first 3 miles were good, then I got nervous and let my head get in the way thinking that I may run out of energy so I slowed down. The 4th and 5th mile I slowed down and then picked it back up on the 6th. After running 6.2 miles, 3-4 miles seems like nothing now. My next run is the Anthem Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day. It is another 10K. After running that I can eat all the noodles I want. (My Grandma Gladys's homemade receipe of course. That is actually the only thing I know how to cook, from scratch. lol!) Here are some pictures. They are small because I took them off of a website. Not sure if I want to spend money on them. So wish me luck on running. (Yes, I always look down when I run.)
