Grey? Or Gray?

Tonight, I found my first 2 grey hairs.  I thought maybe I had something shiny in my hair as I work at Pier 1 and I can't leave that store without reflecting light like a disco ball. Alas, it was not holiday glitter, but my first 2 greys appearing extremely close to one another.

So how does this work? Am I supposed to freak out? Initially I was like, "NO! What are these things?! What do I DO?!?!?!" And then I started thinking about how awesome it would be if I went grey only in that one area and I could have an amazingly cool streak in my hair.

I had attributed grey hairs to childbirth in my family. Because that's who has grey hairs. Those with children. Not I! My doggie-child would NEVER incite a color change to my hair! But what about the past year? The stress, the craziness, the change of career, the restarting school? I did just have my interview for a nursing program (I find out Monday if I am accepted). And I can't really keep calm about it right now. Did THAT spark the spark of color? Or lack of color, I guess?

Whatever. I'll let them go for now. Seriously, if they are the beginnings of an super-cool streak, I'm totally on board for that! If not, I'll keep my tweezers handy. Or marker. I already have really thin hair.

Couch to 5K

I'm doing it.  I'm getting off the couch and am going to run, not walk, a 5K in May.  Just started the program, and I'm feeling pretty goo about it so far!  

I've completed 1 day.

So what 5K's are happening in the DFW area in May?  I know the Katy Trail and Disco Run are going on.  Any others that would top those two for my registration?  

I'm only running 1.  Maybe 2.  We'll see how well I'm doing by registration deadlines... :)
