babydee1 | Many Thanks for all the Birthday Wishes!

I had a wonderful, wonderful birthday!

Instead of the usual food and fun festivities, my siblings and I instead opted for a triathlon training session... which was, I admit, rather gruelling. I hadn't expected it to be easy, so it was good for me to challenge myself to do something I've never done & never thought I'd be able to do. My brother does tri's all the time, so this was a mere warm-up session for him. My sisters and I, on the other hand, all have individual event strengths, but not all three, so it took us a long time to complete the course; but that was the main aim for today; just get through it, don't think about timing just yet.

...I just wish I ran like that. :-P

But despite the rigours of physical training, I was a happy bunny every minute of the day, thanks in no small part to the kind birthday wishes and e-gifts from
