Splashy Head Gear

I first saw a BondiBand in action at Amanda’s blog 5 Miles 2 Empty. It looked so versatile and colorful – I had to have one!
So I headed right over to Bondiband. Here I found a whole mess of head gear - in a galaxy of colors.

“Bondi bands are a comfy, colorful and creative way to hold your hair back ... Bondi Bands are an easy fix for your hair.”

I would also add:

• Stretchy < --- >
• They stay right where they belong.
• And wide enough to use as an earband on cool days.

With my original order I also received an extra band and a wicking hat - in wild pink. (Thanks Rebecca – Managing Director.)


PS.
I’m thinking of ordering a few for my sister and Mom.
These bands really do brighten up a day!

Running With Long Hair

I watched the entire 1 hr condensed version of the NYC Marathon on TV yesterday. Was I the only one totally amazed at Paula Radcliffe? She crossed the finish line and then walked over to the side, bent down and swooped up her daughter in her arms. No signs of tiredness or injury. She is indeed super human!
But my pride goes to Kara Goucher. From a 5k to a 10k Olympian racer to a serious marathon contender.(In 2008!)
As I watched her run – her pony tail bouncing with the wind, I prepared some questions to ask her. Not about her training, but about her hair.
I have always had long hair.[see pic] At one time it was down to my waist. Trust me – long hair and sports do not mix well.
Most days it flows behind me. But when it’s raining…a rat’s nest evolves.

Questions for Kara:

• Do you use shampoo after every workout or just rinse with water?
• What’s your favorite shampoo, conditioner?
• Why do you keep you hair long?
• Will you hide the gray someday?
• Does your hubby brush your hair?
