I really enjoy writing specific topics for the Runners’ Lounge TIART, but I’m going to be skipping it this week. This week’s topic is nutrition. Lately, my runs have been fueled by peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, chocolate chips, and beer. While that combination seems to work for me, I’m not sure I’d recommend it for anyone else.
So, I excitedly headed to my hair appointment yesterday. I had won a gift certificate at Jones’ school auction for a hair treatment and cut by the owner of a posh local salon. I walked in and told him he could pretty much do whatever he wanted, that short was fine, and that I’m in the process of going back to my natural color.

Yeah, not exactly cutting edge. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good cut and getting rid of the Florida damaged ends blended my roots in much better, but I was kind of hoping for something new. I just didn’t know what and every time I go to a new place, this is the cut I end up with. Apparently it’s the one they all think looks good with my face. No worries though, I have an appointment with my usual stylist in Wisconsin in a month and she’s willing to do short. Oh, and when I told him I was trying to go back to my natural color, his response was “so, you’re looking for the “salt and pepper” look?” Ouch. Must be more gray in there than I realized…
Crazy busy week continues. I managed a slow three mile run last night. My legs are still feeling a bit heavy, but it was a decent enough run. I’d like to run today or tomorrow, but it just isn’t happening. I’ve got all the beers in the fridge, but I still need to make the salad dressing, wash all the glasses (since every beer needs a specific glass and yes, we do have that many beer glasses), pick up the dessert, and a few other random dinner related stuff. I won’t even mention all the things I have going on that are not related to the dinner…
