A Very Merry Unbirthday to Me

**Remember, you have until 5pm today to enter my Bondi Band giveaway — good luck!

It sounds like lots of you want to try trampoline cardio in your own cities…be warned — I am so sore, and it’s two days after our blogger get-together! Not sure how Meghann says she’s not feeling it, but let me tell you: there are muscles I didn’t know I had that are achy today. I got up and ran a tough 6 miles on Thursday morning, so that may be partly to blame.

Yowza.

I work at an amazing company, with people I truly respect and like as friends. So I had to laugh when my bosses took a picture of me jumping on the trampoline and put their own spins on it. The first picture is at the top, and here’s my favorite:

So true.

So, the alternate title of my post could be:

  • 6 Months ‘Til the Dirty 30
  • Holy Crap I’m Turning 30
  • My Downward Slide Into Middle Age
  • Can’t I Stay 29 Forever?

This week — September 17th, to be exact — marks my half birthday. 6 months from now, I’ll be having one of those birthdays that ends in a “0″ and I’m starting to freak out. Cliche, much? So I need to ground myself. I have a great husband, a great job that challenges and inspires me, fabulous friends who let me be my goofy self, a healthy body and on and on. And truly, if the next 30 years are as good as the first? I’ll be a lucky woman.

Hey, are you following me on Twitter? You should — because I tell funny stories about bobby pins down my shirt, finding sweet peas in my purse and much more.

Remember that 5K that Lucas and I ran last weekend? It’s now up on my work Web site — play Where’s Waldo Katy! Click the play button in the center of the picture.

    Happy Half Birthday!

    My half birthday was the 12th of September! PISCES! HOLLA!
    [last year i had a half a birthday cake... i guess peeps only thought it was funny once.]

    On Wednesday my calves were really tight and sore from stair climbing, so I was expecting them to KILL yesterday. But they are actually 100% fine. HOWEVER, my shoulders are sooo sore [weird?] and the tops of my thighs are sore. I guess I was working new muscle groups, no?

    Love the photos! & no worries, you will do the “Dirty 30″ proud!

    Your photos always crack me up! Trampoline cardio sounds like a blast. 30 isn’t so bad. I freaked out a teeny bit when it happened to me (I’m 33 – my Larry Bird birthday) and now I’m like ‘whatever’ with it. As long as you’re young at heart, right? And you seem like you know how to have a good time, so you have nothing to worry about!

    I turned 31 last month. I had a harder time with that one than I did with 30. I don’t know why… But I am looking forward to an exciting decade! I still feel like a 20-something.
