“If you’re not first, you’re last.”  – Carter Woolfolk, On marathons

The first marathoner was a Greek messenger named Pheidippidies who ran 26.2 miles from Marathon to Athens to deliver the news of the victory over the Persians.  The story goes that Pheidippidies called out, “Rejoice!  We conquered!”  Then he keeled over and died.

Fast forward to the present, marathon running is a pasttime for many Americans.  Even celebs are doing it.  Marathon running has a crazy subculture that goes along with it and is just one of the many things that make it entertaining.  Why do we like it?  It’s cool to have so many facets tested in a span of 4 hours: physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional.  And it’s just fun…so if you want to track elaney and Reader Grace in Philly:  check us out here!  Here’s to hoping we see Katie Holmes!

Reader Carli wants to know: what’s the best place to get your hair done hair in ATL?  Easy:  Van Michael.  Quinn at Van Michael New Talents for color and Mikayla at Van Michael Highlands for cut (VM stylists are exclusive to cut or color). New Talents is the training spot, so prices are pretty reasonable, and Mikayla’s cuts run about $50.  Readers for other cities – please report – where should elaney girls go to get their hair done?

Sure, it’s a personal favorite around here, but it’s also universally agreed upon as one of the cutest hairstyles for summer.  Here are some options for ways to pull off The Bob:  Lauren Conrad’s simple-subtle, Nicole Richie’s edgy ingenue, and Katie Holmes’ super chic short with attitude. 

Which one do you like the best?

Um…too cute.
