I loved those simplier times...not that I don't now but it was just a time of sweet innocence. I hope you enjoyed every morsal of that cake. Happy 52nd, my friend!! I hope it's a great year for you....for us...for all 52 year olds! :)Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174883718651790845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770104768123714471.post-85110872586045650722015-03-18T10:36:37.565-07:002015-03-18T10:36:37.565-07:00I'm pretty sure if angels made a cake it would...I'm pretty sure if angels made a cake it would look like that.

The one thing that I have in my life is a dad that also ran when he was this age and even more and definitely more serious than I am. But he ran without any technology. He ran his first few marathons with a normal analog watch just to keep track of how late it was... I think we are quite healthy for our age although my body is talking to me more now than ever before.Johannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17588120934444485158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770104768123714471.post-69415683857381037832015-03-15T22:53:43.074-07:002015-03-15T22:53:43.074-07:00As much as I like to think I am never going to gro...As much as I like to think I am never going to grow up I'm wrong... The mirrow doesn't lie! and the body keeps telling me it's old, but that never stops me asking it... I was up at 04h00 for a race this weekend, and I was young enough for 27 of the 30km. I was in shorts most of the weekend (did see an evening show so needed to look smart!).<br />So if 50 is the new 40 you had better watch out, the men are going to be checking you out!coach dionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14464619260070895703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770104768123714471.post-70793934499452904212015-03-15T19:34:58.670-07:002015-03-15T19:34:58.670-07:00That cake looks amazing.

Then I remember I'm 47 and if I let myself I think that sounds really old. Once upon a time fun stuff only happened to those in their 20s and sometimes their 30s. <br /><br />Of course then I remember the whole 'you're only as young as you feel' thing, and perhaps it's true. But I'm sure 40 is the new 30, and 50 is the new 40. etc. Debbishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06305239848096384084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770104768123714471.post-53012424851905911202015-03-15T19:00:31.528-07:002015-03-15T19:00:31.528-07:00Progress!
