Personal:

Married with 2 lively boys. I love running and I love getting faster. Just trying to figure out how to balance life between being a mother, wife, part time nurse, and runner. :)

When I was in 6th grade I filled out a Getting to Know You sheet. Under nicknames I wrote, "My brothers call me Boo Legs, I think its because I run fast." (It really came from the movie, Strange Brew) And its been my family nickname ever since.

10 slow easy miles. It was a great way to start out the week. Felt good.

So here's something non running related. I got my hair chopped about a month ago. I'm talking about 10 inches or so. I've always had a horse's mane for hair (funny story, in fact, when I was little my hair was so thick I had to have special shampoo called Horse's Mane with picture of a horse head on it... pretty huh?). So it would take for-ev-er to do my hair when I actually took the time to do it. The rest of the time it was in a braid/ponytail/or bun (in which I'd end up with a headache by the end of the day because of the weight of my "horse's mane".). Anywho, enough was enough and I got it chopped. I love it now cuz its so easy, fast, and super low maintenance. I've enjoyed hearing people's reactions and comments. Some are good, some are bad, and some are back handed compliments? Here's my current favorite....

Sweet old Lady, "Natalie! All that beautiful hair is gone! Why did you do that?!"

Me, laughing, "Well....mumble mumble mumble some response...."

SoL, "Well, don't get me wrong I like it...but.....You're hair grows fast right?"

Well shoot. Its not like I accidentally ran into a pair of scissors! :) People are funny and have an opinion about everything huh? Its a good thing I have a healthy self esteem!

10 milers are great! Haha, sometimes you wonder if people think of what they are saying? I bet it looks cute! I love the way long hair looks, but I love having short hair! Hey, maybe it will help you get a PR in your racing time since it doesn't weigh as much. ;) ;)

So true Brooke! I know it was at least 2-3 pounds of hair, so that should decrease my time by at least 10 mins right? Right. :)
