It's my birthday and I'll run if I want to

I'm a quarter of a century old!! Well, not technically until 5:43 tonight, but close enough. I still look 17 so we'll stick with that for now. :)

The Rocket Scientist and I headed out for a morning run. Since he just moved into a new apartment, we were looking for places to run online. There's a huuuuuuge park/golf course about half a mile away, so we headed over there. We found a mini trail that headed straight to the golf course, so we ran on the cart trail for a little while. It's been raining all week, so there was a pretty steady rain going on with minimal golfers. We got up to where the clubhouse is, and people started yelled at us that we needed to get off the golf course. It's a public course, but I guess we missed the signs that said no pedestrians. Oops? They told us to go to the other trail, but I'm not sure how they expected us to get there since we had obviously ran there. Their main excuse was that they were concerned about our safety...we might get hit by golf balls!! I ran on a golf course all the time in college and it was never a problem. Oh well. It was mainly annoying because very few people were out on the course anyway.

Saturday, June 20 - MY BIRTHDAYYY
4.25 miles in 33:34, avg pace of 7:52

I was going to post this a few hours ago, but we were getting ready to have some lunch, and one of my friends from college showed up! The Rocket Scientist had arranged for her and her boyfriend to drive down from Boston to surprise me for my birthday. :) I was lamenting last night that I'm not going to be with any of my friends on my birthday, and I haven't seen her since...I don't even remember when! So it's an awesome surprise! We went out to lunch and took a rainy walking tour of Princeton since they haven't been down here before.

Yay!

Tonight some of the Rocket Scientist's friends are coming over for some games, beverages, and ICE CREAM CAKE, so I'm excited about that. Should be a fun night!! Hope everyone is having a fantastic non-rainy weekend!

Any words of wisdom for the next quarter century of life??

  1. Happy Birthday!!!! :) :) Yay for ice cream cake!! Soooo good.

    I can't believe they yelled at you for running on the golf course. Golfers are weird. I've never been hit by a golf ball but I've gotten hit by a frisbee, lol.
