I am loving my sisterlocks! It has been 3 months and the time has flown. I started swimming twice a week with my swim team after having my locks for 3 weeks. After I get out of the pool I rinse my braided and banded hair and wear my hair freestyle to work like in the picture I have posted.
Some days I style my hair with Soft Spikes and get a curly look like the other picture I have posted. I wear my hair like this on days when I do not swim. Sometimes I use my Caruso Curlers if I am lazy and do not feel like rolling my hair. I prefer Soft Spikes because the curls last longer.
However on a different note... Last week I had to have an emergency appendectomy. I am working from home and kinda down because I can not workout. I am trying to train for my first half marathon (as well as stay in shape for triathlons). I ran 12 miles right before I had to be rushed into emergency surgery. My surgeon is a triathlete and he was really concerned about me running with an infected appendix. He said that I can return back to running, swimming, and biking next week. I am praying that my endurance is still where I can do 12 miles when I return back to running. I am sure it will take a minute to get back to where I was though. :-(
I am thankful that I got surgery before my appendix ruptured. I am happy to be recovering without issues. I can look forward to many more triathlons, half marathons, marathons, and other exciting new experiences in my lifetime!
Oh yeah... and my sisterlocks held up wonderful in the hospital!
