Today I am 36 years old. 40 keeps getting closer and closer. There’s no way to deny I am definitely getting older now. My birthday week (a tradition penned by Grandad) started off on Sat. when Nana & Grandad (Kevin’s parents) came by with an ice cream cake and card. In typical fashion the kids don’t remember unless someone (me) reminds them it is my birthday. This morning when I told Bram it was my birthday, he said “noooooooooo, it’s MY birthday”, lol.

At work, one of my co-workers bakes a cake for everyone’s birthday. Yesterday was someone else’s birthday so we all had cake and today there will be cake again. I’ve had to up my running this week to make up for all the cake calories;)

And speaking of running, there’s a Running Room store opening in King’s place this week. My sister had told me about the store in Calgary. They do free running workshops and are very knowledgable about sneaker choices, etc. I’ve always had quite a bit of pain when I run for long distance on the bottom of my feet because I have low arches. So I’m going to go talk to someone there about what they would suggest.
