1. That it is my birthday today. I like birthdays a lot. I have a feeling that my 29th year of life will be a great one.
My brother that lives in Kentucky texted me EXACTLY at midnight his time to wish me a happy birthday. He is so right about cake.
Some good friends took me out to Communal (aka my favorite) last night.
We ordered the entire menu because we all like food a little too much.
My favorite thing on the menu has to be their Butterscotch pudding. Everything about it is just perfect.
2. When Brooke tries to boss me around. It is so hard to not crack a smile.
3. This mug from Target. Thanks Lindsey!!! Now I can always remember that I am magical:)
4. My 3 essentials from Trader Joe’s. I just need to find a way to have Trader Joe’s deliver these three items each and every week to me for the next 50 years.
5. Megan knew I was in the market for the world’s most comfortable sweat pants and so she got THESE ones for me from Forever 21. Holy amazing. Comfortable clothes are what life is all about.
The picture that I sent her after she gave them to me:
6. The way that Brooke decided to eat her noodles the other night. You do what you gotta do.
7. When in marathon training—> sometimes you just need a plate of nachos at 11:30 pm.
8. Or to eat gummy candy in bed while watching The Mindy Project.
9. Going on a long run with this girl today!
10. This video that includes Brooke singing Twinkle Twinkle and then some running.

Happy birthday, Janae! I’ve been reading your blog for a long time but I’ve never commented before! I hope you have a great day and a wonderful 29th year. Thanks for being such an inspiration to me!

Happy Birthday to an extraordinary Human Being!! Wishing you all the happiness, fun and injury free year ahead with lots of froyo and donuts throw in too.
Comfy clothes are the absolute best. After my weekend runs in can take me hours to get changed. If I do change it’s always just back into another set of gym gear.
Enjoy your day (well, week as birthdays need all the celebration in the world).

Happy Birthday!!!! I love your blog…I get so excited to read it every night during my wind-down time after work, dinner, kids baths, running, etc…! Some folks have a TV show, I have the Hungry Runner Girl blog LOL. Brooke is soooo adorable, she reminds me of my girls when they were toddlers…they grow so fast, so cherish every moment (as I see you do!)! You are such a great mommy, I can see she is the most important thing to you in this world…You are my inspiration for running. I’ll never be as fast as you, but I do aspire to run as much as you do :) THANK YOU :) enjoy this day darling!
