WHERE’S ALL MAH SOUL SISTAS

Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, flow sister

Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister

So BFF Flo saw the twins crossing the finish line at the PEI 10k in October and was inspired.  She wanted to run.  Registration for Sole Sisters 5k opened up in early 2014.  It’s a great first 5k run so we said “Hello, hey Flo, you wanna give it a go?”  Giuchie, Giuchie, ya ya dada (Hey hey hey) Giuchie, Giuchie, ya ya here (here).  We signed her up and the evening finally came. 

Lots of hydration was needed the day of the run so Twin 2 ordered Flo to drink at least 2 full bottles of water:

She had other hydration ideas of her own.

While helping her look for this wine at the liquor store we got separated.  Then heard a ‘YAY’ *clap, clap*.  She hit the jackpot.

The one and only huge dilemma we had (as what happens before every run) is what do we wear?  The weather was weird on Saturday.  So with a lot of texting, talking, etc that consisted of “What are you wearing?”  “I don’t know what are you wearing?”, Twin 1 decided on tights/long sleeve shirt with Sole Sisters tee over.  Twin 2 and Flo decided on just tights and tee.  It was chilly heading over to the run and while we were waiting for a ½ hour at the start but during km #1 the clouds went away, the wind died down and the sun came out in full force.  

We were extremely proud of Flo.  She ran the whole 5k and was struttin’ her stuff on the street.  The only stop exceptions were for the awesome hug stations (one of us may have gotten mauled by a homeless man) and chocolate station.   It was her first race.  There was no way she was missing out on that.   Giuchie, Giuchie, ya ya dada (Hey hey hey) Giuchie, Giuchie, ya ya here (here) Mocha Chocalata ya ya (oh yea).

While we love this run, we have 2 complaints.  1) Runners should be at the front of the run and walkers at the back so there is no tripping/bumping other people; and 2) MORE BATHROOMS!!!!  There are 3200 women running this race.  We require more than 10 (that includes the men’s washroom we overtook as well).

Anyhoo, after receiving our medals and taking some pics we ended up at Wallymart.  So did all our fellow Sole Sisters.  Guess which aisle we all migrated to ….the CHIPS/CHOCOLATE aisle.  I didn’t realize how much we all ‘reward’ ourselves with goodies after we exercise.  Defeats the purpose but we’re all the same.

Registration is open for Sole Sisters 2015 and we are raring to go!
