Happy New Age Group to me!

There are a lot of gifts that running has given me.  Thanks to running. . . . .  

• I am fitter and healthier than I was at 25.
• I have even more in common with my wonderful husband than I did when we were first married.
• I have a job that I love (even if the stipend barely covers my running clothes habit).
• I have a fun and rewarding way to give back to my town and the community at large.
• I have friends and running buddies all over the state of CT
• I have an outlet for my ridiculous competitiveness.
• I have a group of kids who enrich my life, in so many ways.
• I have a way to keep my dogs well behaved and fit.
• I have even more of a "can do" attitude than the one with which I was born (which was already pretty serious!).

BUT . . . . the #1 gift that running has given me is that unlike most women "of a certain age," I love telling people my age, and I really love aging up!

I'm 55 today, and I'm so happy to be here!

Look out F5559; I'm coming for you!
