Hello, Week 12 of running!

Hello, 50 minute run WITH NO BREAKS!

Hello, Successful Completion of Said Run!

Hello, Great Feeling!

Hello, Feeling of Accomplishment!

Hello, Runners' High!

Ahhh....such a great feeling!

Only two more weeks of the program and then we start swimming. I can tell Hubs is NOT excited about this next phase. He doesn't like to get his face wet.

He's pretty sure he'll be competitive doing the doggy paddle.

Um, no. (Say Hello to Last Place!)

I've bought him some goggles for his b-day (schmexy gift, I know), so he's practically ready to go.

Actually, he isn't.

No bathing suit.

I'm not sure about the requisite racing Speedo bathing suit. Ewww...they're just creepy. They immediately transform the wearer into either a pervert or walking porn. I just can't do that to Hubs, however, he can't swim in board shorts! What to do? Turn the man I love into a porn star?! Actually....now that I think about it...we could use the extra cash to spruce up the house, maybe go on that long anticipated vacation....

Hmmm....(*day dreaming and drooling*)

(Oops, got lost in thought there for a minute. Doesn't happen very often...I'll be sure not to do it again...)

I'm looking forward to the swimming section (I used to be a competitive swimmer) but am not looking forward to the monotony of doing nothing but staring at the pool floor and listening to myself breathe. Apparently you can get goggles that have an mp3 player with little speakers that go against your temples. You can actually swim to music. I'm thinking that's a necessity.

Maybe instead of appropriate bathing attire, we'll invest in the musical goggles and just swim naked!

Yeah, that ought to go over well with the other patrons.

Naked, rockin' swimmers....yeah!!! Talk about shakin' your groove thang!!!

A little boo-yah for naked swimming! Oh yeah, and one for the fact that Hub and I just completed the hardest run in the 13 week program and....if I do say so myself...WE ROCKED IT!!!

I love this!!!

Speaking of music, here are some of the songs that get me through the torture (*blush*, I mean 'workout'.)

1. Headphones: Britt Nicole (very catchy tune with a real positive message)
2. Rock me Amadeus: Falco
3. Somebody's Baby: Jackson Browne
4. Pump It: Black Eyed Peas
5. Electric Chair: Prince
6. Shake it: Metro Station
7. Wakin' Up in Vegas: Katy Perry
8. Let it Rock (Radio Edit): Kevin Rudolf
9. Gives You Hell: The All-American Rejects
10. Ladies' Choice: Zac Efron

Enjoy!

I first thought you said 50 mile run and I almost fell off my chair! Even 50 minutes...wow, AWESOME! Way to go and good luck with the swimming. I have NO advice on the swim suit/speedo issue but got a good chuckle out of your contemplations! Thanks

Scents and Scents-ability

Before I became a Mommy I was a working girl. And when I was a working girl, I was a GOOD smelling working girl. I had my favorites--Tresor, Poison, Giorgio, Ysatis, Tuscany per Donna, Eternity by Calvin Klein, Perry Ellis and Alfred Sung. I had so many perfumes--and I loved them all! Then I became a Mommy and I did away with all my perfumed-ness. Why? I guess I didn't want my baby to have to breathe all that while s/he was trying to nurse. Perfumed flavored milk? Yucky! And...I never went out so why did I need to smell pretty? Wasn't smelling like breast milk, puke and baby poop enough of a sensory overload? Now I'm two things: Mommy and Working Girl. But I'm not a breastfeeding Mommy so you know what that means... BRING ON THE PERFUME!! The other day I went to the store and I was bowled over by the choices! Givenchy has a million scents now, JLo has like three kinds, and then there's that Ed Hardy guy with the fabulous name-- Christian Audidgi

The earth stood still today. No, it wasn't because the planets were aligned. No, it wasn't because yesterday's date was 10/10/10 (which happens only once every 1000 years) No, it wasn't because the month of October has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays, in it which, according to Facebook (and we know how reliable that is),only happens once every 823 years. No, it was more phenomenal then all of that. It was because I ironed. Sheets. Yes, I actually ironed sheets. Now, you need to understand that I only pick up my iron to move it from one location to another. Typically if something needs ironing one of three things happens: 1. it stays wrinkled 2. it hangs in my closet until gravity pulls the wrinkles out over time 3. I go and buy a new item of clothing. I just don't iron! So why did I do it today, you may ask? It was my front load washer and dryer's fault. It made Kiki's new bedding so wrinkly that I just could not stand to let

Well if this doesn't completely rock your socks then I don't know what will: Taylor Lautner AND Tom Cruise staring in a movie.. together l  And it's about airplanes!   It's TOP GUN all over again people!  I'm just too excited for words. Now, yes, I admit, Tom did crash and burn in my books after the couch incident on Oprah; and after marrying Katie whats-her-name, but all in all, I still like him.  As long as he doesn't open his mouth except to speak his lines in a movie. And Taylor Lautner.  I know, right?  What a beauty!  I don't have a crush or anything on him (puhlease, I could be his MOTHER!) but my eyes do appreciate the view when he's on the screen.  Yes, my eyes, and ONLY my eyes.  Now, as far as crushes go, you need to talk to my daughter.   Taylor adorns practically every inch of her bedroom walls. So, depending on the rating of this movie, I think daughter and mother will go together and both of us will drool.... Age appropriately, o
