My Favorite Day
is today!! I am now 43!! It's completely amazing that - even though I still need to lose about 40 lbs - I am in the best shape of my entire life. I am proof that you're never too old to change your life. If I can do it - anyone can!!
I am doing just fine - my right achilles tendonitis has been acting up, so I iced it on and off yesterday. It's feeling better today. I'm supposed to run hills tomorrow with Julie - we wil have to see how its feeling tonight/tomorrow morning. Figures it would act up a week before my 1/2!
Even better, the scale was down about 3 lbs this morning!! Hopefully that trend will continue. I am definitely feeling motivated about getting back on plan and losing the rest of this weight.
Hope everyone has a terrific day - I know I will!!

Happy Birthday!
I remembered without this post. I was coming by to wish you happy birthday and you had it broadcast for everybody. LOL!
Way to go with the scale! Hope the tendonitis feels better.

happy birthday andrea!!!
hey! long time no talk, but I've read and caught up a bit on what you've been up to lately, and it sounds like a lot of traveling for race running and training for marathoning. i wanted to let you know that when i trained for each marathon, i would have good long-runs and some that were just really hard. more than likely, next weekend's will be a good one to make up for it. i think some days our muscles just aren't ready to deal with that much pounding and it all depends on so many factors like what you ate the day before, how much you slept, how much you ran the past previous days, etc... so DON'T BE DISCOURAGED! you're right -- anyone can do it and that includes you too!
happy birthday!

Happy Birthday Girlie!
I, too, remembered that it was your birthday! I have proof! LOL You'll see.
That is so exciting to be 43 and enjoying the time of your life!! Sweet! I just wanted to say that last night I told the girls that tomorrow will be Andrea's birthday and they told me that I had to promise to tell you that they said Happy Birthday! Before they met you, they had seen you on my computer and after meeting you in person, we all are just amazed at how far you've come! It left an impression on my young girls! They don't seem to even remember that I lost 40 some odd pounds LOL...
So, have a wonderful day, ok? September is a very popular month for birthdays...you know why, right? 
This is my traditional birthday song: (I hope it works, its been a long time since I've attempted to put a video in a blog...)
