Its our BIRTHDAY!!!!!

How many of you can say that? Being a twin is GREAT at times. We are completely opposite in some ways and in some ways identical. Here is a recent picture of us from my visit this past weekend. We never thought we looked exactly alike, but we were mixed up a couple of times.

I remember in High School during marching band, her really cute boyfriend grabbed my butt by mistake and I turned around and he said, "OH, NO - DON'T TELL JANET!" And like any good sister, I marched right over to her and told her.

My kids were SOOOO excited to wish me a Happy Birthday, they woke me up at 5:15 am. I could have waited until 6, really! Then they shoved all of their presents in front of me. Most hand made. It was an awesome morning. My daughter's card said, "I look in my heart and what do I see? I see a mommy looking at me!" HOW CUTE IS THAT?

Last night I ran 3 miles by myself. I didn't even take a water belt. It is nice to only have to run 3 miles, following a late night 7 miler. Tonight, on my birthday, I will run 7 miles again. I am sticking to the MTP... and love looking at how my times are getting faster and how much I have accomplished.

And like I mentioned yesterday, I am doing a GIVEAWAY. There are no HOOPS to jump through or HURDLES to jump over. All you need to do it be a follower and leave a comment telling me you would like to be entered. Up for grabs is:

1. A Nike Dri-Fit shirt in size M (I hate treadmills - this is too funny!)

2. 3 pairs of cute knee socks
3. HEADSWEATS purple visor
4. Nathan L.E.D. Safety Strobe (definitely useful for those early morning runs)
5. Surprise (I can't tell you, but you will LOVE it)

WINNER will be announced next Thursday, August 5th through random.org. Just leave me a comment telling me you want to be entered... and keep following me!!!!
