Does she go back to Korea often?<br /><br />Please keep me posted on your Shuffle plans! The nice thing about Shuffle, from what I hear, is that everyone is out there just to have a good time. So no big deal if you haven't run for a while, yes?<br /><br />Yes on the smell of the Keratin. I've learned to make sure the bathroom door is open when I put it on, LOL.

She's picked up a fair amount of Korean from her husband (they've known each other for 5 years now, I believe) and I think their daughters will probably learn it too.<br /><br />I'll hopefully be doing the Shuffle, but as of right now I have no race plans for 2015! I haven't run in nearly 2 months, so I'm not sure how much running or how many races I'll be doing. But that one usually is on my calendar!<br /><br />I saw that you use the Keratin one - that's new to me and I really like it! The smell can be a bit much initially, but I like it and think it works even better than the original. I'm currently on day 3 of a wash because of it :)Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18403024177515079403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-38653289331994826972015-01-09T15:34:56.665-06:002015-01-09T15:34:56.665-06:00I've heard amazing things about the Twin Citie...I've heard amazing things about the Twin Cities Marathon (not to be confused with the Minneapolis Marathon, right?)

But depending on when we do year end this year (we did it on Halloween last year, boo), I might try for Dia de los Muertos in Chicago!!Shinianenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15340969239524875329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-78499729907870657382015-01-09T09:25:56.199-06:002015-01-09T09:25:56.199-06:00Any chance you'll be making a jaunt down to Ch...Any chance you'll be making a jaunt down to Chicago to run Shamrock again this year, too!?!?!? Would love to see you!!! Your rainbow costume last year was CLASSIC. I still have yet to wear a costume, ever, so that would be quite a way to get started. =) I need to make a trip up to Minnesota to run with you in your hood, too!<br /><br />Yeah, I agree with you, I think I am freaking nuts, too, and am also worried about freezing my toes off (as well as my fingers, ears, nose, arse, etc., etc....) Is it sad that I'm starting to get used to these single-digit or below-zero temps? Last night it was 12 degrees (and snowing) and it actually felt kind of warm by comparison!

That's awesome that your cousin enjoyed her time there and met her husband there! Was your cousin working out there? Did she pick up a lot of the language?<br /><br />Yay for Shamrock Shuffle! You have a good memory about my work conflicts preventing me from running it in prior years. =) You're running this year again, too, yes? We will definitely have to meet up!!!<br /><br />I use Suave, too, and really like it! It is so much more affordable than all the other brands on the marketplace. Seriously, I've seen some brands out there for over $25! Considering that Suave is usually right around $3, I don't plan on trying any others, either!emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-34930255544320441362015-01-09T09:18:58.917-06:002015-01-09T09:18:58.917-06:00I use Suave Keratin Infusion dry shampoo. I picked...I use Suave Keratin Infusion dry shampoo. I picked it because it was by far the most affordable on the marketplace (it's only about $3!) I was worried about my hair looking gross or weird, too - but I figured for $3, it wouldn't be a big deal if I didn't like it. What helped me a lot was reading the online product reviews. Folks gave some really helpful tips (e.g., spray from at least 6 inches away, don't use too much or it will cake up). That made a big difference for me!<br /><br />34 and windy is no joke! Winter is definitely here EVERYWHERE. How is G-Mo handling the cold?

I hope you have an awesome time! And how cool that you finally get to run the Shuffle! Glad to hear there's no work conflicts with that this year :)<br /><br />I love dry shampoo! I wash my hair twice, maybe 3 times a week, at most during the winter because of it. Which one do you use? I've only ever used Suave - it works really well and is super cheap, so I haven't felt the need to try any others.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18403024177515079403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-90503974478563637572015-01-08T19:35:33.244-06:002015-01-08T19:35:33.244-06:00I'm scared to use dry shampoo.

Actually, it's kind of depressing that "much warmer" translates to temps in the 20s, isn't it? But after a week of single-digit temps, the 20s will feel downright balmy!<br /><br />Let me know what you think if you do try dry shampoo, too.

Now I am even more excited to try Biscoff in the future. I'll have to look more closely at the Speculoos ingredients, too. I am guessing it's got dairy in it?<br /><br />Yay for single-side exercises! I think I'm going to try doing single-sides for other things like bicep curls and tricep pushdowns, too.
