Hey everyone! If people feel this should be in a blog more than a thread, I will move it to there. I just had so much excitement over all of these events that I wanted to share it with everyone here.

This weekend marks my approximate 1.5 year anniversary. Although 1.5 isn't much and is kind of an odd anniversary, so many things have happened this weekend that I had to mark it as important. Here's the list!

Hit APL!
Ran my first ever 5k!
Sharing my henndigo dye job with everyone, my awesome newish bangs, and my adorable goddess spirals ^_^

Just too much info for just a blog ^_^

So yeah, my first ever 5k ^_^ I was 133 out of 137 with a time of 44:39, running at a pace of 14:23. This is actually my best time ever for a 5k! I know its a longshot compared to the runners doing times like 20 minutes and such, but for my knee pain and my asthma, this was pretty dang good. I am also the 2nd person in my entire extended family to run a 5k. There are some in my family that probably could run it, but I'm the 2nd to actually put forth the effort to do so ^_^ 1st person? My awesome brother who I hope to run with next year ^_^ The trail I ran was gorgeous and I almost stopped a few times because I wanted to take a picture. I have a feeling I will be doing this 5k again next year :joy:Here's some pictures for everyone, but keep in mind the park pics are not by me:

APL at last! Seriously, SL to APL is probably the hardest length of them all, at least for me. My hair just felt so short, but yet too long to do most of the updos I was accustomed to with my chin to SL hair. BTW, if any you have ideas for updos with my following length pic, let me know ^_^ I can kind of do a french twist and braids are a little hard because my hair is pretty thick ><

Henndigo! I've been doing henna for a while now and as much as I love it, bright red just doesn't do well for my complexion. I've done henndigo before, so this one isn't too new for me, but man do I love it ^_^ Before and after pics in next post.

Goddess spirals! All you piercing guys and gals will love this ^_^ I've been holding off to show them off until I was APL. These are from BAF's site, they are the acrylic spirals. Pretty cheap, but nice quality. Size gauge 4

And finally, of course some progress picture with APL and henndigo (blue line is APL) ^_^ Plus bangs!

Yes congrats on APL , I am just on the other side of it and it is wonderful. SL to APL seemed to take sooooooo long and it is super awkward.

So true! Awkward is the perfect word for the SL to APL journey o_O Its jsut that you can't get most of the hair into the fun updos you want to do, but you're so close!

Thank you arc and spitfire ^_^ The run was hard, but not terribly so. The hardest part was that there were so many hills and that my upper legs cramped up a bit.
