These days, EVERY day is a bad hair day. I decided to let my hair grow and donate it to the American Cancer Society. Those of you who watch Channel 3 news have heard Barbie Bassett talking about it. Anyway, I'm doing it in honor of my cousin who is a breast cancer survivor (cancer free for a year!).
What I forgot was the reason I don't like my hair long. I have natural wavey/curly hair that "puffs" when the humidity starts to go up. So I'm walking around looking like a poodle in need of a trimming. Not nice at all. Thankfully May is just around the corner and I'll be able to go back to short hair. That's the reason for the Ole Miss hat I'll be sporting from now until I get the haircut.
Instead of XT today, I went to the track and got 20 min of wogging. Wasn't feeling it though, I guess the planets have been messing with all of us this week. But 20 min is better than none, right?
Kim mentioned her father in law teaching at JSU. One day, when I grow up, I would like to teach. Yes, I said when I grow up. I'm not sure I'm grown yet, there are still so many things I want to do. Teaching is one of those. I'm not sure what ages I want to teach, I guess I want to teach at a level where I can make a difference. Maybe after I get thru with this marathon, I'll enroll in school and get another Master's, this time in Education or something related. (Yes, I love school, I would have stayed in school if someone had offered to pay for it). I guess 2 degrees in engineering weren't enough. LOL

I DID IT!!!
I registered for the Marathon!!! Watch out Chicago, here I come!!
I had been "procrastinating", I guess I just wasn't sure if I was going to do it. Life keeps getting in the way and sometimes I start to doubt myself.
But I am going to do this. By this time next year, I'll be telling everyone, "a year ago, I was training for my first marathon..."
So it is done!
Ready for bed, this is going to be a crazy week. Spent the day in Collins, got back in the office and got a call that Braden had a fever. Not exactly a fever if it's 99 F and he has been outside. Besides he is teething. I did managed to get some things done before I picked them up. Husband called that he had to work late. So I didn't get my walk done. Mad about that, but what can you do ? I knew the boys weren't up to being outside (mom can tell), the pollen is giving them a hard time.
So I guess I'll do my run tomorrow instead of XT. I have 2 meetings, and then Thursday and Friday mornings, I'm judging the MS Science and Engineering Fair at Jackson State. That should be fun, I'm looking forward to it

The clock is ticking...
I have a countdown clock in my Google homepage for the marathon. Today is says there are 201 days left!!! It seems like a long time, but before we know it, we'll be in Chicago. wow.
Yesterday was my day off. I work a schedule that allows me 2 Mondays off per month. Except lately, I haven't been able to take the time off. It seems every time one of my days off comes around I'm either going out of town, or having to come in the office.
Yesterday was the later, I stayed for a few hrs and then ran some errands.
After I got home, my husband and kids went with me to the track at the HS. I got 33 min (used my handy dandy timex watch) of wogging before the boys started to get restless. It was getting dark too so we headed home. But I did run half of that time!!! I figured out a few things too, I need to do more stretching. My legs started to hurt, so I stopped and stretched, and voila, the pain was gone! Apparently the stretching I've been doing was not enough.
Most importantly, I figured out that I'm not as slow as I thought I was!
