February 3rd was my 24th birthday. Hooray! I celebrated in the morning by going on a 2.5 hour run on the single track trails that run along the James River. It was great. Even better was the massage that Dave surprised me with afterward! If you haven't tried ashiatsu massage, I HIGHLY recommend it. It's life changing. Really. Then I stuffed myself first with a lunch at my favorite vegetarian coffee shop in Richmond and second with a homemade dinner that was delish (thanks again, Dave). Ice cream was a bad idea, though. I paid for that lactose indulgence this morning. Ugh. All in all, a great birthday (even if Mom has tuberculosis or Ebola or leprosy - we're not sure which - poor baby). I got all of my favorite things: people I love, running, food, Harney and Sons tea, the Okkervil River CD, and a t-shirt with Shakespeare on it that reads "Prose before Hos".
Today's workout:
6 miles in 52 minutes (I was late getting out, so I had to hustle).
6 x 20 second strides

Happy belated birthday!!! Many hopes for a brilliant 24th year of existence!
Love tea, I'll have to give Harney and Sons a try. What's your fav?
Speaking of food, I just found some instant "just nuke it" Indian food from a company called Patel's. Sometimes I just don't feel like packing a full fresh lunch and thought some microwaveable legume action might be simpler and "ok" with my nuitrition needs (Indian food has sunflower oil in it and I'm more of an olive/flax oil consumer if I have the choice). There is just something about curried lentils and steamed rice that reminds me why vegetarian doesn't mean "boring." Have you found any convenient veggie options? I bore easy and there is only so much Indian and Edmame soybeans one girl can take :-).
Oddly enough, the brand you mentioned in my comments earlier is the same brand my last one happened to be. They really are brilliant, and an excellent recommendation. For some reason tho, they changed the styling on the one I like and I'm having a pickle of a time trying to fall in love with it like the last one. I know it's not like picking a husband or anything, but I really am that picky :-).
Wow. That was the girliest conglomeration of "blah blah blah" I think I've ever managed to throw out there. Sorry :-(
