Tuesday was my birthday... the big 2-6. We ended up celebrating it on Monday, as I had to work with a girl I mentor on Tuesday. We decided that it would be fun to go up to Park City, as we had a gift certificate for dinner at the Homestead in Midway.
We went to the Park City Resort to do the Alpine Slides. We were in line to get some tickets, when this lady comes up and asks us if we want the remainder of their tickets, that they weren't going to use. Seriously?! People are so nice... sometimes! ;) She gave us one adult and 2 passenger tickets, so we only had to buy one more adult for me. Nate took Asher down first, and he loved it, so I decided to take him again. I am so glad that lady gave us her tickets... it is fun, but definitely not worth the $14 per ride it would have cost us. It was a little scary taking Asher on the chair lift. We had to distract him with chocolate on the second ride up, as he wanted to get down... as in, he was trying to get off the chair lift while we were 100 ft in the air. It was very scary! But he was all smiles on the way down.
After the slides, we went to the city park and let Asher play for awhile. Isn't it weird how we entertained Asher for MY birthday? Not that I minded. Nate and I were talking on the way up about our definitions of fun... I told him that my definition of fun has turned into Asher having fun. Nate said: "yeah, I've noticed that." It makes me happy when he is happy.
After the park, we drove back down to Midway to the Homestead and had a nice meal outside by the duck pond. Asher loved feeding the ducks and watching the fishies. He was pretty good until right before we left. Poor little guy was so tired, it was a long day.
Nate dropped me off at Nunn's Park in the canyon, and I ran back to my house. I missed my long run last week because of the festival, so I had to do it Monday. I was nervous to do it by myself, but it was actually really nice, and quite leisurely. I know that sounds weird, but it really was. It's just nice to be by myself, even if it's running 11 miles. That was my first really long run since having Sayer, so I was proud of myself.
On Tuesday, I got to sleep in, and Nate gave me my gift... an antennae for our TV so I can watch so you think you can dance, and tickets to see Lyle Lovett this Saturday. I know, I'm such a nerd. My family totally makes fun of me that I like him, but what can I say? I just do. So I am so excited to go see him in concert. Nate's parents will be in town, so they are going to watch the kiddies. I also got money, with which, I will be buying a plethora of running/fitness gear, including: a Garmin Forerunner 205, which I just ordered yesterday (So excited for this), a fuel belt for long runs, triathlon shorts, triathlon shirt, and possibly a speedo. So, it was definitely a great birthday, and I can't wait to continue the celebration this weekend!
