Barber's Tip of the Week - 1

With exam season coming fast, the boys at Running Down a Dream are quickly beginning to realize that class may have been a good idea after all. With little time left to cram an entire semester's worth of material... procrastination is inevitable. Expect a lot of blogging over the next two weeks!

Today we would like to introduce you to a man you may have thought you knew really well;
Ross Proudfoot, CIS Rookie of the Year, XC National Champ. As the ladies know, he is a man of many traits, but one specific ability of his has not yet become widely known. Many people may not be aware that the real secret to Ross' stellar season was a little hobby that he picked up on after completing an online course during the summer. The art of Barbering caught his eye, and he hasn't looked back since.

Hand-eye co-ordination, precision and determination are all skills that the Barber has taken from his craft and has used to dominate this Cross Country season, so we here at Running Down a Dream would like to provide our readers with some tips to master hair cutting, in the hopes that this will bring them the W with their clients and on the track.

We would like to introduce the first video in an ongoing series, Barber's Tip of the Week!

Cross Country Nats Preview

Running Down a Dream hit the Best Western Hotel this evening for some interviews with some of the top competitors preparing for Nationals.

We would like to thank runnerspace.com for organizing the event that we snuck in the back door of to grab some unexclusive interviews... as well as some Chewy Dip bars, Rice Krispie Squares, Nature Valley bars and Nestle water bottles.

Equipped with our newly acquired Cannon Vixia HFR10 HD Camcorder we were able to get some fantastic footage.

Hope you enjoy it... more to come!
