I like the route I planned because there is really no changing your mind and shortening the run once you get about a mile in so I knew I would get my miles in. But halfway through I was just dying...no clue why. I pushed through though and the last half was much better. I actually enjoyed the last half. Except for the gnats...ugh. I swear I get a head start on my muscle recovery eating by the amount of gnats I probably consume during my evening runs...so gross! And when I get back and look in the mirror they are stuck all over my face, arms...it really is disgusting. I told the hubs I was going to start wearing my hunting fly cover face thing for my runs to avoid eating the gnats....I'll be sure to take a picture of THAT for you to see.
On to the good stuff: sweaty bands! I am totally in love with SkinnyRunner (you should totally check out her blog...she is hilarious, a fantastic runner, beautiful, a Christian and you will be addicted too) and I found out about Sweaty Bands through her blog. I have NEVER been able to find a band that stays put. I don't know if its my hair or the shape of my head but they never stay and I wish they would. I hate taking my rubber band out a million times to re-do my ponytail to fix all the flyaways. So I thought I would give these a try and I am so glad I did!!! Truly they do not slip. I used it for the first time on my run last night and it didn't move...it was wonderful!!! And they have a million styles and sizes to pick from. I just bought one to try since there was no point getting more if they didn't stay on my head. Of course I bought one that says 13.1 since I'm training for another half. But I cannot wait to go order more now. Check out the site and order some....they are super cute and you won't be disappointed in how they "stick"!
Here is mine!
I took a picture of me post run with it still in place...but I will admit that I am way too vain to put it up. I was still a gross, sweaty mess so you will NOT be seeing that picture...but I promise...it was still holding strong!
Next up: new hair! Wow....I wasn't really sure HOW dark I was going and thankful its not the permanent stuff. I say thankfully because I'm not sure the hubs loves/likes it. When I washed my hair and got out of the shower I was like....oh boy! But today, after straightening it and constantly checking myself out in the mirror, it is really growing on me. I know if will fade some and I think I will like it even more once it does...and I think I will like it this dark minus the red. So my final say is: good decision. Its fun for fall and I hurt no one (animals included) in the process. The hubs will get use to it (I hope).
I love Fridays! My recap of the week: I'm happy that I have worked out 4 days and although I will probably not get a workout in today, I am okay with that. I will let today be my "off" day. I have to work at my part-time job tonight and I won't be home until LATE so there will be no evening run. Tomorrow I am going to get a long run in the morning and then check out a friends new Crossfit Grand Opening. I don't think I'll get to do their WOD since I have to work at 11:00 AM but I can at least go and check it out. I am really ready for the weekend!
