A little boo-yah, if you please....

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

...and that, my friends, concludes this blog. I think yesterday's post is an appropriate way to end it. I really don't have the time to keep a blog anymore.  My posts aren't as entertaining as they used to be (sometimes I bore myself) and right now it just seems more like a chore than a creative outlet. I will keep the blog active for awhile until I can find the time to slurp all the posts into a book but I don't think I'll be adding anything new. Thanks for reading.  Thanks for all the support over the years.  Thanks for listening to the Crazee Chick rant... See you later.... Lisa

24 Hour Relay Report--Facebook Style

Status: Walked almost 30 km this weekend. Walked from 11pm until 3 am--did 20 km--stumbled, weaved, bobbed, and limped through that last 2 kms and now have empirical knowledge of what it feels like to be asleep on your feet.   Feet hurt. Legs hurt. Hips hurt. 75 year old man passed us during our 4th hour. He was on his 16th hour and managed to run 165 km in a 24 hour period. Inspiring! Humbled by elderly, fit man, called the Lone Wolf. What courage. Reached my fund raising goal.  Thank you to all who donated.  Your contributions helped to raise over $1,000,000.00 and send 852 kids to summer camp this year.  Thank you.  Visited Starbucks 3 times in effort to warm up. Weather was not on our side. Cold and rainy! Ick!  Slept in a tent trailer for the first time in my life! It was so cool. It was also especially wonderful to be out of the rain and not sleeping on the ground. Met a bunch of crazy people.  Got to hang out wif...

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...
