TTT - Slacker, Race Ready, Transitions

Slacker - That's how I feel compared to last week!  Of course, I had a long 5 day weekend last week whereas I'm working today, but still, I feel like a  total slacker with my workouts.  It didn't help that it was pouring down rain yesterday after work when I had been contemplating a bike ride (which didn't happen, because of course I might just melt in the rain).

Race Ready -  That's how I hope to be on Sunday!  I'm not really all that confident, as I haven't been doing much speed work lately, but I have a 5K on Sunday and I'm hoping to do well.  Not necessarily a PR, but in the ballpark.  It's an all women's race which should be fun no matter what. 

Transitions - I have made the decision to grow in my grey (or silver as I prefer to call it) hair.  I don't want to be coloring it forever, and now just seems like the right time to rock the silver.  I was trying to calculate how long this would take.  Get this:  the longest hair in my current style (shoulder length bob) is 13 inches.  Assuming my hair grows a half inch per month and I don't change hair styles, it will take 26 months to complete this process.  Yikes!  That's a long time.  Um.  I have a feeling the color transition over the next few years is going to be "interesting."

  1. I have pretty thin hair and have been touched with the grays for awhile. I have to colour my hair though...don't know if I could stop....

  2. I am starting to get some significant streaks of gray in my hair and I'm only 34 (although, my paternal grandfather had completely silver hair by the time he was in his early 30s). My hair stylist has been nudging me toward coloring it, but that seems like work, and I don't even get it cut as often as I should.

  3. You are brave...I am too vain to let the gray grow in.

  7. Hmmmm... I've had silver hair since I was like 29. I'm not one much for coloring. Poor Dee Dee on the other hand. I should have invested in hair color company stock ;-)
