Wha'd up?

As Twin 1 stated a few weeks ago she was going to get Onyx a new bed....as you can see she wasn't quite fond of it in the beginning but she is now.  She has warmed up to the couch as well.

So these have finally got hung.  The flowers were from our thrift store trip with Twin 2's husband we wrote about a while ago.  Also, Twin 1's husband has finally put up his dart board after 4 years.  Needless to say there has been a lot of darts thrown since then.

Tip Tuesday

Find your sweet spot

Write down your workouts, then color-code how they made you feel: yellow for amazing, orange for just OK and red for total crap. It's a visual way of seeing how your body responds and will help you pick up patterns. For example, if you're always orange or red around your period, that's a sign that you should be doing lighter workouts on those days.

I'm not sure if we posted this one before but saw it last night and died.

Wha'd up?

First of all we would like to say a Big congratulations to the Bro in Law who ran the 10k in PEI over the weekend.  GOOD JOB Bobby Willy Wally.

A few weekends ago was Thanksgiving and we didn't do too much.  Twin 1 went to NH and Twin 2 stayed home as they just returned from Vegas.

Here are a few pictures of NH Beach where we spend some time with the dogs.

It was actually so cold there that we didn't realize it was sunny until Twin 1 got home and looked at the pictures. 

Also Mamma wanted some centerpieces for Thanksgiving Dinner so Twin 1 was given the task of going out and creating them as she is so crafty. 

TADA!

Can you guess what the orange things are?  If you said skeets you are correct!

Also she caught this picture in the back yard.

Hope you have a great week!

Long Lake

As most of you know Twin 1 spends a lot of time at Long Lake with the dogs.  Here are a few pictures of what she sees this time of year.  The walks are not always easy hence the roots on the paths and sometimes they get pretty slippery....

Tip Tuesday

Forget the speedsters

Compare yourself with yourself. There will always be someone faster and leaner and who looks more like a runner than you do. Focus on the improvements you want to make for yourself.

The Dentist

Well I did it...I sucked it up and made a dentist appointment...not before a tooth was bothering me though.  One of my back teeth was becoming sensitive to cold and thought this would be a good opportunity to make my dentist appointment (if you recall I made one back in March but I cancelled that as that was the day after we had to put Dweebs down and I was in no mood to go to the dentist).  Six months later I rescheduled.

After about 5 years the outcome was what was expected.  It was recommended that I get one tooth extracted as the bone is growing around the tooth and not holding it in and the dentist said that after a year or two it would be out anyway.  That was the tooth that was bothering me.  He also recommended a root canal on another one and either try a filling or root canal on another.  These are all my back teeth so after thinking about it I decided I would go the extraction way on one and try and fill the other.  If the filling didn't work then I would extract that one as well.  I have heard horror stories about root canals and everyone I talked to suggested I get them pulled.

So I went for my cleaning and that wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  Usually it hurts but that depends on your dental hygienist too.  The hygienist I went to is a runner from here in Timberlea and we used to follow her blog.  We have seen her running all last summer when we were training for our half marathon.  So we had a few things to talk about while she was cleaning.  She shared her first marathon story that didn't go as well as planned and hasn't run once since which we have in common as I told her about our half that wasn't fun.  I guess it happens to all of us.

So far I have had one tooth extracted (emergency before my Vegas vacation) and the another one is scheduled for the afternoon of  November 10 as that leaves me with a recovery day on the 11th as it is Remembrance Day.

One New Year's goal scratched off the list.

Wha'd Up Wednesday

Wednesday sure snuck up on us this week with the Monday holiday so we have nothing prepared.

We have looked ahead to the weather for the BLT 5k Run on Saturday October 24th, 2015 and right now it is stating 50+mm of rain...sounds fun! Not like we haven't run in that weather before only this time it won't be 3 hrs.....

Speaking of I guess we should get some runs in! 

Tip Tuesday

Eating small, frequent mini-meals that include a lean protein, complex carbohydrate, and monounsaturated fat (like almond butter on whole-wheat toast or guacamole and carrot sticks) helps stabilize your blood sugar.  This will keep your metabolism and digestive tract humming and will make it easier to resist unhealthy snacks.

Wha'd up?

Twin 2 is currently enjoying her time in Vegas with the hubby....or we think she is...he's not a good traveler at times especially in the heat :(

While Twin 2 is off Twin 1 is enjoying these sites when its not raining. Here is a pic of Long Lake where she takes the dogs most week nights.

She does complain about taking them some days and then she sees this beautiful sight and realizes that not a lot of people get to see it as not everyone knows this place exists.  She didn't before she got the pups.

Also there as been some of this going on lately. FROST!

Also since Twin 1 got the couch from Twin 2 Onyx can't lay on the arm like she used to as its smaller so this is how she looks out the window now....doesn't she look comfy?

We also had to throw out her bed yesterday because Twin 1 found mold on it on the past weekend so tonight she is getting a new one!

Tip Tuesday

Play in the street.  Skip a dreaded track work out for a fartlek (Swedish for 'speed play') session.  After 10 minutes of easy jogging, run hard between two telephone poles, then slow down until you pass three.  Then see if you can get to the traffic light before it changes, followed by a jog to the next mailbox.  There are no set rules, so make it up as you go along.
