Three Things Thursday

1) My twins and I got to witness something absolutely terrifying on the Deerfoot today...Two cars ahead of us was a motorcycle accident.  We got to watch the guy be ejected from his bike and bounce like a rubber ball down the freeway at rush hour.   TERRIFYING!   And Doodle say it all - poor midge. Luckily the guy walked away thanks to his leathers and helmet, but if the F150 in the lane next to us hadn't been on the ball and stopped - this would have been so much worse.

Please EVERYONE, cyclist or motorcyclist...WEAR YOUR HELMETS!

2) I received my first shipment from Chick'd yesterday!  OMG, guys.  This stuff is so freaking soft! And fits so well.  I can't wait to start running in it...

I ordered The Long Sleeve Zip Fit and the Cadence capris.

I have a feeling you'll be seeing me in these A LOT!  

Why, yes - I do have a pillowcase over the fan in my bedroom.
One less thing to dust all winter

and I am already making my shopping list for my next order...being an ambassador for these guys might simultaneously be a good thing and a very expensive thing for me...

3) I've been feeling a bit worried about my DietBet this month.  It ends on Mother's day and I have been seriously plateaued all month.   BUT this morning, I suddenly weighed in 2 lbs lighter. than I was last weekend.   Wonder if maybe the anemia has been what's holding me back.  Guess we'll see what I can do in a week...

and a bonus...because it's my blog and I'll break the rules if I want to :P

4) Tonight is the Skirt Sports Skirt Chaser 5k in calgary.  yes, it is Thursday night.  Oddball time for a race but I'll take it.  I must admit, I am a bit worried about the skirt thing, though. My last race I wore a skirt in was a disaster because a) it was to short b) the shorties rode up and c) I chafed like mad thanks to the chubrub action.

Case in point:

This skirt is supposed to be pretty good - longer no creep shorties, longer length. Good reviews across the board and Skirt Sports stuff fits me pretty well.

Here's hoping a lot has changed in 3 years or I may decide to wear a different skirt over capris...luckily I have that option.  Luckily, I also took the afternoon off so I could do a treadmill test run in it...
