3:29am That when I started my run today- Why so early? Had to- my goal was 12, and at a 13-15 minute pace, my run time would be 3 hours. By 6:30 this Cinderella turns into a pumpkin- I mean-mommy and has to get hubby and kiddos out the door. Like last night, I was indifferent, the run was like work you had to do- it felt weird. Headphones- check I pod- check Snacks- check Camelback- Check I was mildly intrigued by this last piece of gear, it was new- and new means fun- right? So off we go- Out the door, the warm-up walk begins- WHAT'S THAT SOUND??!! This sound can only be described as the sound you hear when your tummy's sick, but your mom pumps you chock full of fluids and pepto anyway. Soon all you hear is a gurgle of a sound that says bad things are coming- That is what my camelback had in mind as entertainment and conversation today- Oh no, no, no- that is not going to work, That- glug, glug, glug, glug, glug, with every step would NOT acc...

It's amazing how fun a run can be when you have something new- New route, new mileage, new ---anything! Today I had two! 1. New hair- I've been with Val for an eternity- at Hair Worx in Farmington,nm -- (call 8 weeks in advance to even TRY getting in- she's THAT good) I trust her with my split ends-(and my roots) she's simply amazing. We share coffee, we share life. I always just sit, and let her do her thing- Yesterday we went SHORT! My first thought was--- how am I going to run with this hair? I knew I'd figure it out, because the new do was CUTE! 2. "Funky Runner" headband from razzyroo.com As a 'newbie' runner, gizmos intrigue-- high tech, low tech, doesn't matter- anything to fuel the habit. I have a laundry list of things I'd like to try/buy-- but at only 5 bucks-- the "Funky Runner" headband was an easy first! (plus the name cracks me up) So here I was, all geared up- a baby...
