Thursday: Run, Pure Barre and Hair Resolution

It seems like it has been a long time since I was able to stick to my weekly workout routine.  Really, it has been since July 2nd, when the great Pink Eye saga began.  I have been pretty on it this week, but I feel like next week is my week to start the flow of my routine without cowing to sickness, a competition, a hair appointment, or my work schedule.  Next week is my week.

Anyway, today, Ivan and I popped out for a jog stroller run, which was unbearably hot, BUT after enduring a three hour incarceration in the Music City Triathlon. The hottest and most hellish event of all time, a 30 minute run outside was small beans.  In fact, I am somewhat concerned that I will now judge all heat as compared to the Music City Triathlon, and nothing will ever seem hot again, especially for just 30 minutes.  Today's run was a bit like opening the door of a hot oven to stick in a trey of cookies.  Sunday's triathlon however, was more comparable to hanging out in a burning building just for the heck of it.  No comparison.

Anyway, I did my Pure Barre video in the afternoon, while Ivan watched The Wizard of Oz, which he loves.

This evening, I had a hair appointment, and I made a decision in terms of my hair, that I am going to try for 6 weeks and then reevaluate.  I am only going to wash my hair on the days that I swim.  On the other days, I am only going to condition and style as usual.  Supposedly, this is much better for your hair and will allow it to stay shiny and manageable until the next salon appointment. So, remind me six weeks to give you a full report.

Also, I am not washing my hair for two days after my salon appointment,  BECAUSE, I read that Ken Paves, hair guru to the stars and sayer of gospel truths, says that no matter what your stylist tells you about washing your hair after a salon appointment, you need to wait at least two days to use shampoo, no matter what, to allow your hair cuticle to reform with the treatment.  SO, I am going to follow his advice and see how it all goes.
