Marathon and haircut

Last Saturday morning I met my sister in Farmington and drove to SLC with her and her children to watch her husband complete his long-time goal of running a marathon. For those that don't know, that is 26.2 miles. That is a long run. I used to run--but I have never run even close to 26.2 miles. My most was 10 and I only did that once. I had the benefit of coming from the high altitude of Rexburg, ID to the low altitude of the San Francisco bay-area when I did my ten. He completed the 26.2 having to run it in a much higher altitude than he is used to...I thought it was fantastic. What an accomplishment! He even finished in a good time---Back in my running days I would still have been finishing way after shutting down time. I am proud of you Randy! Congratulations!

So he went by so fast, it was hard to get a picture--especially since this lady blocked my second shot completely. But if you look, he is the one just to the right of the lady's hair. (I have two more pictures of the event that I took that I will add if I can ever get them. I forgot my camera so was using my cell phone. I e-mailed all three pictures to my e-mail twice but this is the only one that has arrived.)

BEFORE
After several months I finally had T agreeing to get a haircut. We talked about styling it etc. and she was game. But cutting day (Monday) she was against anything but a trim. I told her I could save the money and trim it at home so if she wants me to take her to have it professionally done she needs to cut at least 3 inches get some shape put into it. I let her choose and she chose to have it professionally done. Then there she absolutely refused to let the stylist do anything but cut three inches off. The stylist tried to show her some cute things he could do even with just simple shaping or layering, but the answer was NO!

So this is the AFTER
In the car on the way home she messed up her hair and I said, "What are you doing?" She replied, "I'm trying to get my identity back!" Next time I think I will just trim it.
