It's Thursday again!!! Woohoo I like Thursdays....it is the day I began a new week of pregnancy and it is almost the weekend, it is also the one day my kids or I don't have to be anywhere!! SO it's a good day all the way around. Oh and of course it is Three things Thursday..............
1. Has anyone seen the movie old dogs??? If not you have to watch it! If you have kids older than mine (so over 4) it is a pretty mild comedy with Robin Williams and John Travolta in it.....I laughed so hard I cried and my brother was barley breathing in some parts it was just that silly! I don't usually post anything about movies because it is not my thing, but this was a gut buster for sure!
2.My legs hurt today......should I be surprised? Probably not, it has been a short millennium since the last time I ran..it is the good hurt like "heeyyy remember these muscles?" My booty was sore last night, I asked for a massage but no takers...sigh I will never understand why everyone rejects Gallatea ...(a.k.a.....my butt) I know she is big, but she really is a good muscle!
3. Is really feeling like I am getting my groove back, I had a short run again this morning with both girls and now I am looking for some shorter races to do! I have my eye on the Suntrust Richmond 8k! It seems like the perfect distance and I have some friends that are doing it!....it was also named one of America's friendliest marathons and I would love to be around all the runners I have missed racing and starting to feel the itch....these are all positive's! Maybe now that the pressure is off to go faster (since I got knocked up) it is about just doing it, my mind is in a different spot and I think this is a good thing!!!
Ok anyhow itty bitty has stripped to nothing and is playing in her yogurt, I think child neglect has gone far enough this morning! Have a wonderful end of the week everyone!!

Caution Jalapeno's are spicy!!
Welcome all you new Bloggy followers!
Ummm soooo...funny story..if you have a sinus infection you should not be the one flavoring food! Also, if you are said, sinus infection person you should be aware that your sense of taste and smell are well waayyyy off...SO I made chicken taco's tonight for dinner...which we love and I make frequently! I chopped all my veggies and was cooking, I always cook the girls chicken first(thank god) and then I add Jalapeno to the rest of the chicken to give it a kick, tonight after chopping the jalapeno I realized I could not smell it, thinking maybe it was a little weak I added more to the chicken, still not being able to smell it I decided to lick it! Yes, like a double dare that I was not afraid of, I licked a jalapeno!! The next thing my mouth did was reply, holy s#$#%!!
After realizing the error of my ways I was afraid of the amount I had added to the chicken, I also was scared because my entire family was choking, no not on hard candy but on the smell of jalapeno in the air. You see all of their senses are working VERY WELL! They all had watery eyes and were coughing....ooopps catastrophic fail Mom!! I managed to barley eat one of them! Hubby said, with enough sour cream and cheese they tasted "alright" we forgot to tell brother who lives here, how spicy they were! His eyes watered then he jumped up for a cold drink!! Yikes next time I will be more aware! Damn Killer chicken taco's!
Anyhow on to running, I managed to squeak out a mere 3.1 tonight, I am getting more and more nervous as race day draws near and had to reassure my self that I would indeed be able to do this! I am still a little stuffy , but the run was awesome! I felt great the whole time I was out there! Dear ole' Galletea carried me and my legs all the way through! I had steady 11:30 paces the whole time! I really want to be faster but I know that takes time! SO I feel good and I am ready for Sunday! I might get a quickie run in on Friday we shall see how my "infection" is doing!
I have a quick review to post about! I recently tried GNU fiber Bars!HERE Not to get all personal on all you bloggy folks out there but I am a chick who could use some extra fiber in her life! But, I dread the way fiber makes my stomach feel!! I was actually excited to try these all natural bars! They were great!! Delivering the fiber I need without upsetting my stomach! My very favorite was the Banana walnut bar, and my least favorite was the lemon ginger. I could barley eat lemon ginger it was extremely zingy! These bars are Fabulous you should check out the website , these bars make tasty snacks with 12 grams of fiber!!
Ok so how is that for a bunch of randomness?? My giveaway ends tomorrow night at 11:59 so you better get in on it! I have to make my way around and post some comments on all you super running blogs! Have a great Thursday every one!

5 miles and more random ramblings!
hold on a minute for me ......k?
Go Mama go! Go Gallatea go! I did it I did it!! I RAN 5 MILES in less than an HOUR!
Ok ok I am back! Sorry I just had to jump around and sing to myself one more time! I ran 5 miles without stopping to walk today! Not only that but I ran in 58.05 seconds which I know is slow for so many of you but completely Awesome for me! This all happened at around 3:00 this afternoon it is currently 8:00 and I am still on a runners High!
It was a beautiful day almost 55 degrees so I was out there in a short sleeve tee! There were minutes where the sun was beating down on me and I could feel summer just right around the corner! It was a beautiful afternoon!
I had serious moments of doubt during the run and kept looking for an out, at 1.5 mile mark I could have sprinted the half mile home or make a right and keep going and my body and mind took me right! There were moments where I wanted to stop and walk but it was like my legs were not capable of walking!
Funny Moments during this run.....
I was fist pumping my way through each mile mark! I did catch more than one person laughing at me...
There were three to five vultures flying over head the entire hour at one point I decided this is what they were saying.... (in a mafia boss tone)
Vulture 1: Yo yo Joe you see what I see?
Vulture 2: yeah yeah I see a plump little piggy running along (that would be me, the plump one)
Vulture 1: yup that would make a good rump roast....(aww Ican't believe they want Gallatea)
Vulture 2: she does look as if she is gonna drop dead any minute, we will just wait until she does, easy dinner tonight!
ME: SO LONG SUCKKKAAASSS not dropping dead today...
haha seriously this is what goes through my mind when I am running? Birds talking to each other!
Also out of a car window came the yell of .....MILFFFFF which in my eyes is somewhat crude, but at the same time I will totally take the compliment hahaha I know they were a bunch of goofy teenagers but hey gotta take the compliments where I can get them right! They must of totally thought my lime green sports bra was awesome! I chuckled and kept on running!
At one point around the 4 mile mark I saw a dog standing on the side of the sidewalk, I was really starting to drag here.. so i imagined that I had to zooomm past the dog or it would chase me down and eat me!!! bwahahaha Now for some people this might actually be a fear, but for me I absolutely loooovvvee dogs and if I did not have two little girls to think about, I would bring home every stray animal I ever spotted! But anyhow it worked I sped up and past the dog and knew I was in the home stretch....to which a great song came blaring over my Ipod!
Good, good, good,good, vibrations took me into the home stretch and when I hit the 4.5 mile mark and my little stop watch said 53.55 I said there is no way in Hell 6 minutes and a .5 mile are going to get me now and I took off!! People were out all over the place and they were just moving out my way I was clearly on a MISSION!!!
soooo Mission Accomplished, I felt great the whole run, I laughed at myself like I always do and when I jumped off the side walk at the end of my street I felt so accomplished! It was a little less then two months ago and I could not run 1/2 a mile, today I ran 5 without stopping.....go me, go mama I am prouddd of myself!
How was your weekend, and what are your proud moments? (at least in the running world, I would be here all not listing moments otherwise)
If anyone has a manic moment for Monday don't forget to email me at etgym@aol.com and I will make sure it gets up there Now off I go to leave comments and enter giveaways. Have a BOMB.COM kinda week!!

Gallatea..... things I say to myself while running
hmmm....what the hell is Gallatea you say? ahhh yes
Well Gallatea is the new name I have for my gluts! That's right everyone I have named my butt! Oh yes I did..... you see today while on a 5k test run my friend Gallatea really really got on my nerves! She jiggled and wiggled like she always does but she simply could not push me as fast as I wanted to go... I then said the following things to her...
Dear Gallatea,
You are one of the largest muscles in my body! You are also one of the largest anythings on my body, in fact your HUGE! Is there a reason you can not pick up your friends Thunder thighs and cankels and make them move faster? Oh what was that you said, Lenny lungs simply won't have it? and Hedi head cold simply thinks your dumb to think you can move this body any faster! Well come on Gallatea prove them wrong pleeeeasse.
I know over the years I have not been so great to you Gallatea, but I am trying my hardest right now to make you a popular girl (i.e. Hot ass) but you have to do your part too, now let's pump it out together and by the way could you stop jiggling around so much it is really making me loose my self confidence!
Thanks and yours truly,
Erica (aka the rest of the body your supposed to be pushing)
I did my 5k run through today, it was much slower than I wanted it to go but I figure I have to jump off somewhere and poor Gallatea I did not feed her right today, yes you read that right I did not feed my butt right today in fact all I had was a double cheeseburger! I know completely disgusting, so when I was loosing steam at the halfway mark I really only had myself to blame!
I have been trying to pace myself but finding this a challenge, I also apparently in my 26 years of life have not figured out how to drink from a water bottle and at one point stopped because I managed to choke myself.
Ok so that's enough talk about my rear end friend! 5k-36 minutes....must get faster!
