the hair is not so cute after a run!

LOVE THE HAIR! Super cute.
And feel free to send me some of those sweets!
Wow. You ladies baked up a storm! Cute hair too!
love the haircut! i was just saying I want to chop all of my hair off, but I'm way too chicken!
LOVE the new do! I would love to cute my hair short but it is way too curly...it just wouldn't be a good scene trust me! Seeing your cookie creations has inspired me! I have some cutters that I want to use with my daughter...I'll have to do it this week!
Happy Monday!
Cute hair!
MMM COOKIES (deadly for me)
Woah long runs in the cold. I don't think I can do it this year. Your pictures are making me cold.
Yay for all the runs in the cold! That last pic certainly tells a story. We never see anything like that here.
LOVE the hair! I find now that my hair is shorter...a baseball hat post run is necessary.
We still don't have snow..keep it your way.
Your hair looks so cute! I love how you always get such cute hair styles! I always go the boring route and just get a chop. Right now though I am trying to grow mine out!
It sure was snowy here yesterday, so I can imagine you had a little bit of that too. We have a lake effect snow advisory (from lake ontario) until tonight, ugg so we are getting MORE snow! I do not enjoy brushing the snow off my car!
Looks great! Yesterday was a tough day to run weather-wise. Good for you!
cute hair! love it! the short hair really suits u!
great baking! my baking day is next weekend and i am oh so excited!
omg to the snow that we got in aurora/newmarket! does shoveling snow count as cardio or as HBBC points?
love the new hair...sassy!!!
man, i'm not ready for the snow. training through that last year was a beotch.
Ha, looks like sooooooooooo much fun out in the wind, cold and snow. I really envy U! (NOT)......
I'm with Denise. SASSY is what came to mind. I love it! EVEN after the run!
I'm doing my cooking baking on Friday! Looks like it was a HUGE success!! :)
Love the hair! Very cute. You were a baking queen this weekend! Wow! Good for you for getting out there this weekend. I had two very snowy runs this weekend myself.
Look at all those delicious cookies!! I must get on my baking but I am afraid I will eat it all!!
Love the hair cut! So how are you going to style it for work after your lunch runs? Doesn't look long enough for a ponytail anymore.
Great runs!! That blistery day looks like us a couple weeks ago!!
Love the hair!!! It looks awesome...probably much easier to take care for running...it's all about running isn't it? ;-) I'm starting the 2010 baking extravanganza as well...good thing there's the HBBC to stop me from eating it all!
That looks waaay too cold for me to run outside. You're brave!
Cute hair!!!!
Love the new doo! Good for you for braving the cold and those cookies....oh em gee!
Love the hair :) My girls just donated their hair to the Locks of Love yesterday. New haircuts everywhere.
The cookies look yummy.
I just found your blog and I LOVE it. You had a great weekend. LOVE the hair:) Great job on your long run and those cookies look way too good!
ooooo, looking good - and sassy, girl!!! Like it :).
And good lord, do you live in Canada or something??!!!
Love the hair! You look Gorgeous! The Weather is so crazy in Ontario Right now...I am a little skeptical about my run tonight!
Love the new cut! I am trying my best to let mine grow out. Had a short cut for 12 years so I am going long - I think :)
Brrrr that is cold...but very nice miles.
That last photo - brrrr! The baking looks really yummy.
The hair is adorable! And oh, you look so cold in that last pic--but you were out there. Good going!
I can't believe you ran in that on Sunday! I chickened out and hit up the treadmill most of the weekend :) Sounds like another fun and busy weekend! Cute haircut!

3rd - are you willing to share any recipes, specifically: sugar molasses, monster cookies, kris kringles. Thanks!
Love it! Even after the frigid run I love it!
And wow the cookies! I love to bake cookies maybe more than I love to run...maybe...but I can't because I can't be trusted with them.
You are beautiful ;) Love the new hairdo!
What a weekend! Seeing those cookies makes me want to bake - although my legs tell me to sit! LOL!
Have a great Monday!
Cute cute do, before the run that is :) Oh honey you look so cold, the last picture makes me want to brew you a cup of tea..
Miss ya!!
So cute!! :)
We are getting some snow here too!!!
Love the new haircut! Your baking looks yummy! I started digging into mine today :)
Good for you for getting out in the cold stuff. I'm finding the cold and snow coming down from the sky isn't so bad, but the wind that blows the snow up from the ground does me in!
Love the haircut!!!!!!!! And the cookies!!!!!!!!!! And man it looks cold!
Cute hair!
you crack me up! nice pics!
LOL i was thinking that... that can't be easy to run with. looks great post run! should have grown it a little longer to donate to locks of love or something (yes i am guilt tripping you) ;)
so i guess you ate all those cookies cause i haven't seen any in my mailbox.
Though the weather is cold…your new look is muy picante!
You look terrific, Marlene! Love the cut. Looks like a great weekend!
Love the new do! It's spunky and cute! And that picture of you looks brutally cold. You are trooper for braving it out there.
I love the hair! All the short styles in bloggy land has me feeling like a hippie.
You need some cute headbands to hold that hair back...or it will freeze in place. Brrr that looks cold.
Cute haircut! Love it!
