Three Things Thursday

1. This week marked the first week with my brand new work schedule!! 2 years ago I started out 1-9:30pm, then after 6 months I got an upgrade to 10-7pm, and finally I hit the cream of the crop.... 7:30-4! This opens so many doors for me, including workouts. The roommate and I decided that at least 1x a week (i'm trying to convince him to up that number) we'll do p90x together first thing after work.  Last night was day 1- Shoulders and arms

This is us after getting our 'swoll' on

2. Man I am  SO AMAZING at procrastination. I went online last night to sign up for this bad boy 

and wouldn't you know it that its SOLD OUT! 5 mile capped out at 7,000 runners- bah.  Not only did I not do it in time, but my brother didn't register either. I suggested to him that we run bandit since they don't give out medals or anything anyway..... he's still processing the idea. (come on Eric, you know you want to?)

Have you ever run a race bandit? (if you don't know what that is, then the answer is most likely no)

I actually ran the Air Force 1/2 marathon bandit style to pace my brother (again they were sold out--- oops!)

3. 

  Jill C is hosting a 12 half marathons in 2012 challenge. For those of you who agree to at least complete 12 half mary(s) over the course of 2012 you  will be supplied with goodies from ifitness, chica bands, and other companies that are still in the works. How easy is that?!?! Obviously for more (and detailed) instructions, hop on over to Jill's blog to contact her about how it will all work. Seriously though- who doesn't like free stuff?!?!

One step closer to bikini ready...

LONG story short, 1 year ago someone decided to order a bunch of health related items in my name and send them to my parents house back in Ohio. I've done all the right actions as far as filing police report, talking with each company, offering to send products back as long as they provide postage and basically I'm told their mine to keep!!

Although I am in possession of a lot of useful items, this by far is something I've been wanting to try for a long time!! Since I'm apparently prone to injury, I won't start up the whole routine till after my first double header in 2 weeks- Wisconsin and Michigan.

Since I've never done this before, any suggestions on equipment I need beforehand or modification would be greatly appreciated.
