It's My Birthday!

 Today is my birthday!  :)  Yay!  I love birthdays.  Yes I will be having my cake and eating it too.

 Cake is one of  my favorite foods!  Yummy!

My parents gave me this running log for my birthday.  I only have to wait 33 more days to get to use it as it doesn't start until January.
 Here is what is looks like on the inside.  It is full of quotes and advice.  I use the Dailymile but I really like writing things down too and having it in my hands when I want to review something.


I also got some birthday money, I haven't decided how to use it yet, but I bet it will be running related!  Just a guess!
We went out to eat last night for my birthday.  We went to Famous Dave's and I had Texas Beef Brisket , so good. Now I am headed out for a longish run to start off being 34 on the right foot and then the left.  :) 

Last day to enter my BTB Sunglasses giveaway, i will announce a winner tomorrow! Good luck! I am loving my BTB sunglasses!

Do you use a running log to write down your miles or do you do it all on the computer?
What is your favorite kind of cake?  I love German chocolate, and lemon cake, and carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.  Mmm ..cake.

  1. Happy B'day! I looooove cake. It is my favorite. Weird as it may be, my favorite cake is Costco's white cake with white frosting. I log all my miles on the computer. Much easier.
    Have a great day!

  2. Happy birthday, Christy!
    I use DM to log my runs. If I didn't, I think a journal would be nice but both may be redundant for me.

  3. Happy Birthday! I mainly use DailyMile because I can sync my Garmin directly to it (and enter stuff by hand when I run on the treadmill or do other things)!

    I'm a cake lover too ... mainly German Chocolate and Carrot cake with the cream cheese frosting (my grandmother was the queen baker and had AMAZING recipes for both. I'm SO happy so wrote them down [the woman never used a recipe in her life] for me before she passed. One of these days I'll be able to make a cake half as good as hers.

  6. Happy Birthday! Hope it's wonderful. I use a spreadsheet to track miles. I used to use DailyMile but was doing the spreadsheet as well and ended up deleting DM.

  13. Happy Birthday!! I only use DM for my logging. I've toye with the idea of a paper/ pencil log in case anything happens to DM, but at least miles and stuff are backed up on Garmin. Cake? I don't eat it so I don't have a fav. But I used to eat any and all!!

    Happy Birthday! Your journal looks nice. I keep all my running info on paper stuck in a folder. Keep my bibs in the folder too, safety pinned in the order i raced with my race time/place info jotted on the back of 'em. Hope your cake was yummy!

  27. Happy Birthday to you!! I just use dailymile to keep track of my miles because if I wrote it down on something I would just probably lose it! Glad you had a great bday!

  28. Happy Birthday!!
    I wish I kept a running log, I try and try but I never stick with it longer than a month or so.
    I am an equal opportunity cake eater. I love it all!
    Enjoy your day!

  31. Happpy B-day! I've used the runner's daily log/calendar for the past two years, and love it! (As a matter of fact, I'm asking for another one for Christmas) You will love yours too!

  33. Happy Birthday! I love the present that your parents got you! I use dailymile. My handwriting is sloppy so I like seeing my info typed out neatly. :)

  34. Happy Birthday!!!

    I'm pretty terrible about journalling, so I don't think I'd be good at writing down my mileage. Plus, then I'd have to add it up by hand ;). I'd rather do it online.

  35. Happy Birthday Dear Christy!

    Hope you have had a wonderful day and that you enjoyed your run.

    Your new log book looks great!

    I use a log book AND the computer... and an exercise journal. Can you say 'obesessed' ?

    Hope your next 34 years are just as wonderful.

  36. Happy Birthday, Christy!!!!

    I love cake - almost any kind - any combination. I can never say no to a pb/chocolate cake. I used to write all my runs on the calendar, but have let go of the paper trail and only log it online now.

  37. Oh happiest of all birthdays to you!!! 34 is a fun year….turned it this past Aug :) I love carrot cake - yum! I also love chocolate!!! I log my miles in daily mile - only for the blog purpose - and Garmin, but I do like the idea of having it in writing and on paper - enjoy!
