My Birthdays:  A Tumblr Review

I took a brief journey through my tumblr archives in addition to chronicling the memories that each age/year brought.  Thank you for being with me tumblr through these life changing years. Looking forward to what’s to come… 

27 (2010): My first birthday with all of you! I was 8 months into this health and fitness journey. I was training for my first half marathon and gaining self esteem in leaps and bounds. 

28 (2011): I was falling out of love with my first guy I loved. I was aggressively job searching, bored with my job, looking for a change and ready to get out of Alabama. I clung to running and bought myself my first Garmin as a birthday present to myself. 

29 (2012): First DC birthday – although I was up in NY and in Boston for my bestie’s 30th birthday. I had ran my first marathon back in March and was training for my second (Marine Corps) in October. I was still finding my way in my new job and new life, but I was loving it. 

30 (2013): Had a rough few months leading up to 30. Mostly due to work drama, but also the stress of a milestone birthday. I kept comparing my life to others and thinking about if I was behind schedule. 

31 (2014): Achieved my goal of doing a sprint triathlon before my 31st birthday (did it a week prior). Ended up doing a 2nd sprint tri later in August taboot. Finally got a grip on my finances. Was newly dating this sweet shy guy. 

32 (2015): I am training for my 3rd marathon. Crazy in love with T. Job searching for a bigger and better career opportunity in Southern California. Strengthening friendships with my amazing friends and never taking the time we have together for granted.
