Many Miles to GO!

When I applied to be on the Rev 3 Team early this fall, I knew I'd be joining a bunch of amazing folks if I made the team...I did not know just how awesome it would be.
The Rev 3 Family started their Run Across America at midnight on March 26th--From California to Washington, DC.
21 Days
3,080 miles

Check out this video from the start of the run!

From the Rev 3 Blog-running with Survivor Kelsey!!

Running through the night in the rainy mountains while the sun rose, and now running in the desert while the sun sets has been a serene and rewarding experience. I am so grateful to be part of Rev3′s Run Across America.

I’m running to bring awareness to the Ulman Cancer Fund. I think Rev3′s commitment to supporting and fundraising for the cause is inspirational. They have enabled me to push myself to run longer, harder, and more often.

I’ve become personally involved with UCF through Team Fight because I love everything the foundation stands for. I had skin cancer when I was 16 and didnt reach out to anyone for support. It would have been nice to know that others have gone through what I was going through. I am proud to say that my newly found love of running and involvement in UCF may help change someones cancer experience.

So I run for all those, friends and strangers, that are going through treatment. My next run is for you.

You can view more of pictures here.

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

So I have long hair. I am affectionately known around town that "that girl with the long blonde braid out running/biking/~~being crazy~~" and I am somewhat attached to it. I have played with my hair over the years, shorter, I went RED for a while on a whim when I lived in Boston...but basically, I am boring and I keep my hair long, blonde and usually braided. I really wish I had the conjones to just chop it all off into some super stylish asymmetrical bob-like do and go all platinum or something but no.

Long. Blonde.
Every time I change it, I always go back to it. It's me.

Sadly, my hair guru Tina moved two states away and while I love her, frankly the two hour drive would really cut into my training time so....luckily my friend and co-worked Ann-Marie volunteered to take over Tina's job.

I really wish that Lock for Love would take color treated hair-and yes, my hair is highlighted.

BEFORE:

down to my waist and in desperate need

of some bleachy beachy highlights

AFTER:

Yup, we cut a lot off.

I wasn't the only one that got treated to wonderful, new hair stuff!! Several weeks ago I was lucky enough to win a Chickband! As I browsed through their large selection of bands, once I saw the Disney Princess collection, I knew LOLA had to have one!!
