Winnings, Kids and self timers

My kids discovered how fun the self timer on my camera is.  Little Cowboy took like 50 of these and was really proud because they look scary.  He does look kind of scary.
Little Cowgirl took a different approach
and threw in some crazy dance moves.  I think she gets these from me.

My  right shin has been hurting at the start of my runs for about a week now  :(  I did a super easy 5.5 miles yesterday but decided to go low impact today with 67 minutes on the elliptical and then did  the Hot Body Workout.  Surprisingly the side lunge jumps did not bother my shin, other wise I was going to substitute in something else. I could tell I have been slacking on my upper body workouts lately the reptile pushups about did me in. 

Now on to the fun winnings!

 I won this MONTHS ago and had nearly forgot about it.  So I was very surprised when I finally got it in the mail Saturday.  Lots of interesting info and small enough to carry in my purse to take to restuarants. I was not happy to see that something I sometimes order at Applebees packs a  whopping 1310 calories and I thought it was just chicken, rice and veggies!

 I won these cds in a jumping photo contest over at Fast Cory's  where I was voted best jumper in the world lol.  Beautiful and awesome.  I haven't listened to the Silent Night one yet.  I am waiting for a little closer to Christmas for that one. They are mostly solo piano featuring Cory himself.  You can check out his music website HERE  I recommend it!  Thanks Cory!
 I entered a bunch of drawings at the expo for the race I did Saturday  and I won the grand prize from the Visalis booth.  I won a single serve blender, a 30 serving bag of their Nutritional Shake Mix with non GMO soy protein.  It can be used as a meal replacement (doubt I would use it like that) or as a snack.  It can also be added to oatmeal etc for added protein.  I will probably use it as a snack and additive.  I also got some energy drink samples and flavor additive samples in strawberry, orange, banana, peach and chocolate. 
 and wooo hoo after I had this post all typed up and ready to be published in the morning I found out I  won the Allied Medal Displays giveaway over at The Athletatarian! 
So excited!  I was just looking at my medals this morning thinking I needed a place to hang them!  :)  The funny thing is she won my Aspaeris pivot shorts giveaway recently!  If you don't read her blog you should check her out.  She is super cute and enthusiastic and has lots of fun giveaways. 

On a fun note, yesterday I whined about losing a follower, but I ended up gaining four! Too funny!   Thanks to Arena, Cortney and Ed and Running for the Kitchen for making up for the pooper pants that quit me.  and thanks to all my other followers that are still with me I would be sad to lose any of you.  You would be sad too,I have some fun giveaways coming up soon I promise!

and here it is the reminder to please send a vote my way over at Team Refuel .  Some people have asked if there is any way to see how I am standing in the voting.. as far as I know there is not.  Nail biting!

Which of my three prizes do you think is the coolest?
I am going the say the Cory Reese cds!

  2. Lucky you, I always thought "bloggy wins" came in 3s, but you proved me wrong with 4!

    I've also become more aware of calories at restaurants. It's a big frustrating disappointment, I tell ya, but worth it to know. My favorite healthy meal at Chipotle was 1500 calories! Well, the bag of chips was 500, but I deserve them, right?

  17. Dang girl you are on a streak with winnings! Your kids are too funny and cute as well. Sometimes I lose followers and try to figure out who they are and never do, I just assume that they must have deactivated their account because why would they want to missing my lovely postings. ha, they probably realized that I'm crazy or something!

  24. Hey Christy, I seen on a comment on BQBY40 that you set up a fb page for you blog. When you do that is it only for the blog world. Because I dont want my personal friend to have to see all the stuff I put on it from my blogging. I like to keep this separate from my personal FB. How do you go about setting that up . Do you just login to fb and create a new blog call pink hat runner .

  25. How did I miss this post yesterday?
