I am a runner. I am a slow, chunky runner, but a runner none the less. I know this because last year Jake and I did a 5k turkey trot. And even though I got passed by some very fit octogenarians and a lot of people pushing strollers, I finished. Therefore, I am a runner. I have a picture to prove it. I wish it showed my race number…

While I was training for this event I got very into the runner headband scene. There are several companies that make specialized running headbands that supposedly don’t slip and help keep the sweat out of your eyes. My experience is that all headbands slip, unless they are so tight around your noggin that it gives you a headache. But a headband that helps keep sweat and sunblock out of your eyes is worth it’s weight in gold.

So, it’s about time to start training for this year’s turkey trot. I need some new headbands because of my awkward length hair, and also to keep general yucky-ness out of my eyes. I wanted something cotton and washable, but something that would be fun.

I love Wonder Woman. Jake reads the comic books, apparently Brian Azzarello is doing a good job on this current run, but my heart belongs to the Linda Carter version from tv. I watched re-runs of The New Adventures of Wonder Woman after school. I adored her.

Aha! I needed a Wonder Woman tiara headband.

I can’t guarantee that this headband will give you super powers, but I can guarantee that you will feel like you’re running faster. I think if I had had this tiara last November I would have shaved at least 3 minutes off my (agonizingly slow) time, even if its only because my hair wouldn’t have been in my eyes..
