29 and 4

I left 28 behind yesterday and turned 29! I am so excited to turn 30 because I feel like I've earned my twenties. This last year will be exciting, not dreadful!!!!Yea!

I ran four miles at .5 incline. At one point I felt like I was moving to slow so I gradually increased my speed to 5.5 (I was running previously at 5.3). Then, as I neared the 4 mi. mark I ran at 6.0 (at this speed one can run a 10 min. mi.) for about a minute and a half. It was hard at the end and I wanted to quit. I started counting my steps to help distract myself and learned that counting one thousand steps is a half mile. Now this is something I never thought I'd learn.
Total Mileage: 5. Total Time: 1hour. Total Calories:550. Meeting the goal: Priceless!

Sam did NOT have his teeth extracted Thursday. En rout to the Dental office, ONE minute to the appointment time, the receptionist called my cell and said in her cheery voice"We're over scheduled today. Could we reschedule Samuel for Tues. or Wed. next week?" Your kidding right? Without getting into all the details we'd already had a 'problem' with the appointed time two weeks ago. So I'm driving and trying to remember what we had on the calendar without actually looking at it and thinking that now I get to tell Sam. Poor Sam! He was excited to get the procedure all over and then I had to tell him he'd have to wait even longer. I was mad. I did call her later (after I made sure I could talk nicely) and ask to make sure our app. was set in STONE, because Sam's emotions had been jerked around and I wasn't going to let that happen again. I'll post how it all turns out.
Oh, did I mention that I had intended to give the nice ladies at the dentist's a thank you note last week for they're outstanding attitudes and overall cheeriness? He, he, he. I'm glad I procrastinated because they won't be getting one. No body messes with my babies and gets thanked for it!
