HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!Wow, that is super neat about the delivery. (a little jealous here!) :) And signing up for a marathon is a great way to celebrate. I can relate to the peeing pants sensation... Feeling a little bit like that myself. :) You can do it!

Happy Birthday Miss Bad Ass Runner Pants! The half marathon I ran was the same age as me (make sense?); I love when numbers match up like that. Already looking forward to your next race recap. Run girl, run!

Happy Birthday. RNR San Diego!!! I'm jealous. That's one race I'll do, someday. My brother-in-law and his family (Toddler Pol and his cousin are only 1 month apart) live there. So it's just the airfare slowing me down.Great job signing up early. I'm already in for 2 marathons and a 10K for 2006.
