    I saw your comment on my blog-- and I would love to meet up! Which day do you want to get together? After the actual marathon or the day after the marathon?

    Love your apple cinnamon oats! Have a great relaxing day!!

    Laura said...

    Your oats look yummy!

    I have just started a weight loss journey and running. I ran my first 5k in March and am training for a 10k in May and then maybe a half in Sept - any pointers you can give me are appreciated!

    My opinion on the shirt:

    Front: "Tell Me Happy Birthday!" Back: "Turning 27, Running 26.2"

    Not too creative, but maybe would get people giving you encouragement AND wishing you happy bday!

    One more mile and I'd be running my age


    Back: Today's the big 27

    How about something like this:

    One Marathon: 26. 2 miles

    Birthday Today: 27 years old

    Running a marathon on my birthday: Priceless

    I've been meaning to read my copy I just got in the mail, that salmon looks delicious! Way to get the kiddies involved too :) The last time I stayed up late was for my 21st b-day. We stayed out dancing till 5am, but now I try to get to bed by 10 or I'll be hurting in the morning!

    Have a great weekend!

    Niki said...

    You will be in my neck of the woods. The start of the marathon is only like 10 minutes from my house. I would love to meet up but I would have my side-kick in tow. Let me know the details and I can get back to you for sure. Thanks!!

    i love getting all motivated to clean and organize, it's refreshing to me...maybe I'm weird.

    Let's see... i'm trying to think of a good shirt... My 27 beats your 26.2...27 years wise, 26.2 miles strong? Yeah dunno!

    Trying To Heal said...

    that shirt sounds like an awesome idea! i love it!!!
