Diary of a Thin Hair Sister

I am right at the beginning of my sisterlocks 'journey' and very pleased and proud that I finally made the decision. Being a tad surprised (shocked?) at my thin hair, I thought that I would chart my progress and share my experience with a community of people both looking to start or already on their sisterlock voyage. (Do not make copies of my photos!!)

Running with Locks!

Go Helga, Go! Very proud to report that I ran and completed my first half-marathon last weekend! It was also to great to be out there representing Black folks. Sadly, there were only about 10 of us (out of over 2000 runners), but I am hoping that I can use my new gig and newfound love of long-distance running to encourage more African Americans to run for f-u-n!

BTW: I am no "exercise person" and I was not particularly fit beforehand. I can't even say that I "enjoy" exercising. But the feeling of crossing a finish line... there is nothing like it!
