Happy Wednesday! Today is my favorite red-headed brother’s birthday so I want to wish him a big ol’ Happy Birthday!!!
I was trying to kidnap him and take him to Vegas tonight, but got vetoed by Heathie. We’ll always have the memories…
Okay not really memories as much as these two pictures.
Speaking of Las Vegas, here is a picture of my armpit from another trip to Sin City.
I am going to the doctor today to get a couple of moles removed and 2 little ones are in that region. Isn’t that sad for me? Yes. Yes it is.
So, if I die when I’m under local anesthetic today remember me like this… walking away to Heaven. (Although I’ll probably be running.)
This morning I ran a bunch and realized I desperately need new music!
I’m kinda digging this Royals song
But I’m putting together a new playlist for this weekend. It’s going to be mostly Pitbill and Jay with a few of these diddies thrown in.
Question: Can ya wish my bro a Happy Birthday?

Happy Birthday to the ‘other red headed Mexican’ lol
Lindsay says
Random, I totally had a mole removed this morning too!! Ouch! But props on being proactive..skin cancer is no joke! And Happy Bday to your bro!
Leah says
Happy birthday, Michael! Also, one of many reasons why I like you: I read the title and immediately assumed this post was about mole, as in the delicious Oaxacan chocolate/peanut sauce, because you are constantly writing about amazing Mexican food.

Someone asked me for a mole recipe recently! Ha!!

Hope your doctor’s appointment goes well!

Happy birthday bro!
I am always preaching sun safety. I strip down twice a year for a dermatologist to play cut and paste with my millions of freckles. Fun.

i hope your procedure goes well today! i had a mole checked out a couple months ago, but luckily my derm said it looked okay. i’m ALWAYS in need of new music – would you mind posting your half marathon playlist after you finish making it?
Amanda @ Pink Runner Girl says
Happy Birthday to your brother!
I’ve had 4 moles removed just for precautionary purposes. All on my left arm, too. It’s not bad!
Ashley @ Eat Run Live Happy says
Happy Birthday to Michael!

Tanti auguri Michael!!! You guys look so much alike!!!
Corrinne says
Happy Birthday Michael! You should add Robin Thicke’s new song Blurred Lines to that playlist, I can’t stop listening to it.
Kaylie says
Happy Birthday Monica’s brother, and hooray for proper skin care!
Also, where did you get that Nuun water bottle you’re holding in the last photo? I’m slowly accepting that I will have to carry one while training for my first marathon and that one looks pretty easy to carry.
Johanna B says
Happy Birthday to Michael!!!!!
Glad you’re getting your moles checked out. From a survivor of skin cancer with a big scar on her left shoulder.

Deb says
Happy Birthday Michael!
Monica – I’ve had lots of moles removed. No biggie. Good advice – check those moles regularly!
Susan says
Happy Birthday RER brotha! Hope you have a great day 🙂
meredith says
Happy Birthday to your brother! Good luck at the dr…I need new music too, I listen to the same songs over and over and then need a new playlist. I try to listen to Pandora when I can but I find it drains my phone battery too much.
Heather @ Run Eat Play says
Happy Birthday, Michael!!
Good luck with the mole removal. I had two moles removed last year and it was the first time I’ve ever had stitches in my life!
Sally @ sweat out the small stuff says
Happy birthday Michael! And good to hear you are on top of your skin checking. My hubby died from melanoma at the age of 29. Mole checking is so important. I just got back from a week in Cali. I started in San Francisco and went as far south as San Diego. I can see how awesome it is to live out there. I ran at sunrise in pismo beach and across the Golden Gate Bridge and through Beverly Hills and around the campus of UCLA. So many more places for me to go back and run! And after driving down the pacific coast highway I’m amped to try the big sur marathon. 🙂
Speaking of avocados I think I had at least one meal a day that incorporated one. I’m seriously thinking I need to move! Happy Tensday:)
