That's the best way to describe my curly hair in this kind of weather.
I left work and drove to Clinton to get my hair chopped off for a good cause. I went thru the paperwork stuff, and then a girl starts to section my hair off into several ponytails. I told her she could cut it right below my ears (which is as short as I usually go). Another woman starts yelling at her to stop because my hair is not long enough.
So I asked her what is she talking about. She said I needed 8 inches. I only had 7 inches, and apparently I wanted to cut it too long. OK, I like short hair but I don't want to go bald over this. I leave the bald do for my husband to sport. I thought that was short enough but apparently it wasn't.
So I left the place with my hair untouched, and upset. I have been letting my hair grow for a whole year with this purpose in mind. I can't stand my hair when it gets long, specially in the summer. I haven't had my hair this long since High School!!! So I'm getting a haircut Saturday after our run, and the American Cancer Society is getting a check instead of my hair. Bummer.
By the time I got home I had a headache. Twins didn't help matters either, since they were tired too and decided to tell me so by screaming. I still managed to cook dinner, and feed them. I didn't get out to do anything, I was exhausted.
So I'm going to do my Monday routine today, my Tuesday Tomorrow and that should catch me up to Thursday. I usually don't XT on Wed anyway. I know, I should, but I can barely squeeze the running days into my weeks as it is.
oh, and if any of you go to church at Morrison Heights Baptist, kudos to everyone there. They were shuttling people from their parking lot to the haircutting place. Everyone was so nice, and the shuttles were great.

I run because I need energy!
It's amazing how running gives me so much energy for the weekend. That's a great thing, considering I have 3 very active kids waiting for me at home every Saturday morning.
Their fevers went away early Friday morning, so I ventured out to Walmart to get some things we needed. I had the 2 boys in a stroller, the shopping cart, and my daughter to keep up with. I don't know if people were looking at me because they felt sorry for me or because they thought I was nuts. LOL But I made it. The boys were very good and so was Candace and I managed to get everything I needed (and then some).
Saturday's run was great. Thanks to Amy who let me tag along with her. I really enjoyed those 9 miles, we chatted most of the way, which made things so much easier. When we got to the half way point, it didn't really feel like we had gone that far. I hope to tag along with her next weekend too.
I went home and managed to get some lunch ready for the kids, put a roast in the crock pot, and even took a short nap. I was exhausted by the time I got in the bed, but at least I was able to make it thru the day.
Yesterday was our anniversary # 7. Amazing how the years have flown by. We have gone thru a lot in the past 7 yrs and always managed to come out stronger in the end.
Mother in law took the kids to a pool party for my nephew, while hubby and I went out for our anniversary lunch. Came home and tackled the biggest job of all, cleaning the kids' room. Gosh, I think I rather do 9 miles than cleaning my daughter's bedroom. How can someone so small make such a mess. I rearranged her room (so it's harder to hide the mess), fed everyone, got everyone ready for bed and crashed around 10:30. Needless to say, 5 AM came way too soon.
Lately, when people ask how many miles I'm doing now, I'll say 9, as if that wasn't a very long distance. LOL Most people are in awe at the fact I can complete that distance, while I keep thinking "piece of cake". how crazy is that? I'm looking forward to our half marathon and the party afterward, that's for sure.
oh, as Chuck noted, I got a new hat. It's lighter fabric and it made a big difference. I started to get a headache at the end, so I think it may be dehydration (even though we stopped at all water stops and I had my water bottle). and no, it was not the logo. ;)
I get to cut my hair today!!! I'm so looking forward to this, I normally wear my hair short, and letting it grow for a year is more than I can handle. But it's for a great cause, and I'm sure someone is going to appreciate the gesture.
Keep on running, marathoners! I'm off to hydrate, this is going to be a long week.

High Fevers
The twins have both been running fevers since Wednesday. I'm not sure what it is, the fevers have been up to 103 at times. yikes.
Needless to say, training had to wait because having 2 sick babies is quite a challenge. I ended up sleeping on the recliner last night. At one point I had both of them with me because they wanted mom close by. Poor babies.
They are both teething, so I am thinking it may be that. After their fever broke this morning, they have been fever free. We'll see how it goes. I'll be there tomorrow for sure, I cannot miss the most important day of the week.
