53rd Birthday

Today is my 53rd birthday! Yippee. I've never had a problem with getting older in fact I always look at it as another year wiser and smarter.

This past year I've made a couple of changes to my life that hopefully will prolong it for many more birthdays. One big change is that I became a vegetarian. One of the best things I've done for my body. Another change, I started to run. I completed my first run this past weekend and did 5 miles in 54.10 minutes which average to 10.5 minutes per mile. Now I'm looking forward to my next run....

I have so much to be thankful for in my life. I hope this next year brings me continued great health, happiness and some great new adventures.

Thanks to Leslie at Dailymile.com, for her great recipe for a green smoothie made with spinach, kale, fruit, soy powder, flax seed etc. I made one this morning which should get me though until the next birthday.
