    My birthday was in February and on that day I ran 10K then had a McDonald's breakfast. Perfect way to start the day.

    During my divorce, when I was working two jobs, going to grad school, dealing with an alcoholic husband and raising three children ... for my September birthday, all I wanted was to run. But I couldn't find the time to get more than a couple miles in. My mother took my kids and pushed me out the door for one of the most memorable runs of my life. I ran through the college and Colonial Williamsburg with no one looking for me and no responsibilities. I'll never forget that gift from my mother. Now (years later, remarried, much calmer life) ... my mom gives me something running-related every birthday - a race entry fee or money for new shoes.

    The only reason I could think of for it being "sad" is if you'd refused to go on a planned birthday day out or something in order to exercise instead because you were scared to miss a workout. Otherwise, it's your birthday, do what makes you happy!

    I'm going to be a debbie downer here for a second...

    I delivered a stillborn baby on my birthday. THAT is sad. Working out and feeling good because you like it on your birthday is not sad at all. Have fun!

    I usually book vacation on my birthday, so I'm usually on a beach being active. Do what you like to do.

    Do you what you want. If it makes you "sad" in the eyes of others, that is their problem, not yours. You can't please everyone. Please yourself.

    yes I did last year and will do most years unless it's on a work day (12.5hr shift) or a day I don't train (mainly saturdays). In fact I'm doing a marathon on my birthday this year.

    Depends on what day it falls on. If it's part of the routine, it stays there.

    For me, it depends what else I have going on that day but I enjoy lifting so I would actually be stoked if I was able to fit in a heavy lifting session that day.
    If I don't have too much other stuff going on (mine's in December so there's a good chance I may be hunting in the morning and partying in the evening) I can totally see myself rearranging my workout schedule to put chest day on my birthday.
