I want to! I was all set up to run in the 1/2 marathon at the very least but today, literally 2 hours ago I realized it falls on my father in laws 60th birthday. I tried to plead with the wife, but there's just no way. I understand too, he's a good guy and I think it would disappoint him if I wasn't' there. 60 is a big one.

Complete bummer, I was really looking forward to it. I had already talked several people (bgood79), in to doing it with me.

I'll run it next year for sure. 61 isn't that important of a birthday. Neither is 35...which is me on Sunday -(can't believe that shit)

35 sounds plenty old to me! I have three months left of enjoying my 20s, then I'll be just another dude in his 30s, also.

Ha. Another dude in his 30's isn't such a bad place to be. 40 is the one I'm not really into turning. Any Hubbies out there have any 'Turning 40' wisdom?

40 freaks me out too. But you're even further away from it than I am.
