Haircut!?!?!?!?

I was walking down the street yesterday and there was this guy handing out fliers. He looked right at me, directly in my eyes...and handed one to me. It just happened to be for a new barber shop around the corner. Now, either he had very limited vision or maybe he had to pass out like ten thousand of these before he got paid. As ya all know, I am very bald. I haven't needed a haircut in over 10 years. The last time I went to get my haircut, the stylist (Yes stylist!!) said mid-cut, "Hey, maybe you should cut your own hair"!! At that point, I knew I was NEVER going to pay for this service again. When people are turning down cold hard cash to do something really easy, it's time to reevaluate.

I used to just clip my hair about once a week. Sometimes I would wait a little too long and I would get that lower head hair ring thing going on. So, in May, I started to shave with a razor. It's very liberating! and now, I can't go more than 2 days without shaving it as it starts to feel strange. Here's a quick shout out to Bruce Willis and Yule Brenner for making bald cool.

I'm now in the middle of my tapering for the race and it's tough to cut back mileage. But it's something that has to be done. I'm focusing on nutrition, hydrating and staying loose. Going to hit the gym today for a nice long sauna and stretch session. Tomorrow running 8 flat miles in Liberty State Park.
