My favourite new hair gizmo, a great show and a missed run

Have any of you ladies seen these yet?
The Goody Stayput hair elastics are absolutely amazing. I got a few freebie samples in my Minnie Marathon goody bag. My ponytail has not slipped all day. And I hear they make headbands too - definitely want to find some of those!

The Killers last night were great. A very good show, but a bit of an odd act for a stadium show though... The concert was pretty well sold out, but I thought they would be better in some neat, more intimate type of venue, like the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver or La Zona Rosa in Austin (where I saw the Tragically Hip play a very good show a few years back).

And I still have to get that 4 mile run in. Hopefully tonight!

A Killer Birthday!

Well, it is official. Today I am 29. Time to update that profile on the right! I was actually born in Calgary, but this is my first birthday in the city since I turned 2. My mom likes to tell the story that it snowed in Calgary on the day I was born - a sort of reminder of how crazy the weather in this town can be if it can snow at the end of May. I find it ironic that I woke up this morning and I looked out my bedroom window to see the glorious blanket of snow coming down. Ironic I tell you..!!

Tonight I am off to see the Killers in concert - looking forward to that. I also need/want to find a way to fit in a 4 mile run sometime today too. It looks like I may get a chance to try out those warm winter running tights that I bought last weekend much sooner than I thought. The good news is the weather is supposed to warm up in time for the weekend and my 5.5K race on Sunday.
