Age perspective
Yesterday was my sister's birthday. She moaned and groaned about getting older now that she is twenty-one. It makes me realize that I don't really care to complain about turning thirty anymore. She didn't want to do anything for her birthday, and I had been thinking the same thing about my upcoming birthdate. After her drama I have decided to organize a potluck on the 27th. It's nice to have a sister to see yourself in the mirror once and a while.

On a similar note, my muscles have been sore the past couple of days because it seems I was not quite in good enough shape for my run. I don't think I was ever really sympathetic enough with Seniors who complain about stairs and low couches. I now can appreciate the struggle of going down stairs or worse yet trying to sit down on the toilet. I am glad this is just a temporary condition to remind me to keep in better shape. Hooray for being young and healthy!

So your butt is hurting! :-)
Katie, you are one of the most "in shape" persons I know, just imagine me, a couch potatoe, trying to run 10K ... I think I would end in the ER, in the first 15 minutes :-)
Literally, take it one step at a time!
Take care!

Actually it was just my leg muscles that were sore. I think with some training and maybe another child to run after you could make it past 15 minutes. I saw today that I was the 441st person to finish the race !
