Just a wee bit speechless.

This past Monday was my birthday and just before leaving the gym that morning, Susan (aka Queen Bee) gave me a card and a cd on which was a hand-written note wishing me a happy birthday. The note also explained that she hoped I didn't mind that she borrowed from some of my posts, (such as A Someday Intervention, Nobody Important (the Wall), and Signs.) That's all it said. Huh?

With my curiosity completely peaked of course, I played it immediately upon my arrival at work but I definitely wasn't prepared for what I found on it. For my birthday, Susan created a video chronicle of my running journey to the Bluenose Half Marathon starting with my very first 2 mile race last October, through our hateful winter training drills and on to our spring training which included a nasty tumble, a lost garmin and very discouraging encounter with the dreaded wall.

Thank you Queen Bee. I am deeply touched. And you're right..."the sure-thing boat never does get far from shore."
