On I went, out of the wood, passing the man leading without knowing I was going to do so. Flip-flap, flip-flap, jog-trot, jog-trot, curnchslap-crunchslap, across the middle of a broad field again, rhythmically running in my greyhound effortless fashion, knowing I had won the race though it wasn't half over, won it if I wanted it, could go on for ten or fifteen or twenty miles if I had to and drop dead at the finish of it, which would be the same, in the end, as living an honest life like the governor wanted me to. -Alan Sillitoe, "Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner"

RUNNER TESTED SELFIE PHOTOS OMG LOOK AT HOW CUTE I AM

I got an email titled "blog material(?)." Since I'm too lazy to come up with my own material, I'll almost always take the bait.

And so I was sent this article. 8 super cute hairstyles that you can wear on your run!!!!!

I swear, I don't get it. When did fashion begin to trump function in running?

    That seems like a good way to waste time. I'm fairly certain I've never cared how my hair looks while running. Is it out of my face? Ok, done.

      Exactly. Out of my face, off my neck, let's do this.

    I'm pretty sure that half of those would take me longer to do than going on a 3 mile run.

      I love this reply. And I couldn't agree more.

      I was going to say the same thing! These hairdos would take me half an hour or more to construct, by which time I would have discarded any plan to go running and would move on to the couch to watch Bravo and eat queso.

      You guys, it's not that bad! I totally spent like 45 minutes in my bathroom this morning putting my hair in a fishtail top knot. Then another 10 minutes for the selfies, then I ran for about 5 minutes before it was a sweaty mess. But what a glorious 10 minutes those were! HAHAHAHA just kidding. I wore my same as ever crappy ponytail.

      Depends - are you looking for a cute new alternative to the fishtail?

    I didn't go running today because I couldn't figure out how to fashionably do my hair. Thanks for posting this article - now I have no excuses not to run.
