birthdayyy

I had a phenomenal birthday!! thanks everybody

Friday morning I got up & did a 6.6 mile loop through the common, the Esplanade & over to Cambridge. It wasn't hot or overly sunny so great for a long run.

   

Pineapple makes me really happy so perfect for a post-run breakfast 

Then the real fun begins!  
Early afternoon, Suzy & I headed over to Fanueil Hall for some lunch & cocktails.

love it. 

this was delicious. Kingfish Hall's - Fish & Chips

(birthday is a great excuse to eat something so fried and wonderful)

lindsey came to join us :)

sister love. 

we later moved to the bar to "watch" the bruins game & eat pre-birthday-celebration

jager bombs at 7? sure suz - that sounds like an excellent plan. 

We spent the entire night & Clarke's, which was great. 

People came early, people came late, people stopped by, I just set up shop & enjoyed every minute. 

so many fun people came out!  

(though so many got missed by the camera - sad)

overall - fantastic night & wonderful start to 28!!

Other exciting news!  I got a ticket to this year's HLS!!

Will be so fun. I can't wait! :) 

so sooon

Thanks for your suggestions on races!!  
I haven't quite decided which to do yet but I did register for this. 10/22/11

really excited for this one 

I'll be adding a bunch more to the game plan so keep em comin. I almost (eeeekkk) registered for the half but decided I needed to wait until after tomorrow's 6.5 miles. If I can get through half the distance without keeling over, I can get there. 

I finally synced my phone & took it on a run last night. (breen - love the app, thanks!)

I paused to stretch and couldn't resist.  

I love this!  How can I resist a run with this view?!

After last night's run, Lauren came over for dinner. I made some pearl onion risotto & spinach salad. delic! and of course, there was wine, some celebratory bubbly & a fantastic cupcake.  picture fail. none taken.  

I'm sooo ready for the weekend.  

cleaned the apt. did my laundry. running in the morning. ready for lots of guilt-free fun. 

tomorrow - i have a fantastic day planned with my sister! 

then katie & chrissy are coming from NY! :) :)

& a GREAT crew coming out to celebrate.  can NOT wait!!

i keep trying to add to this post but really - i'm watching the king's speech. ha.  good at multitasking. not so much. :)

have a fabulous night!
