Our workout Wednesday recap doesn't consist of much working out *sigh*
Wednesday, Nov 5th – nothing
Thursday, Nov 6th – we both did our scheduled workout video
Friday, Nov 7th – nothing
Saturday, Nov 8th – Twin 1 took
the dogs to Point Pleasant. Twin 2 did nothing
Sunday, Nov 9th – We both did some Christmas shopping all afternoon
Monday, Nov 10th – We both, along with Sister Wi, had Monday off so we tried to get the rest of our Christmas shopping done. We think two full days of walking around the stores counts for something right?!
Tuesday, Nov 11th – Remembrance Day. We got a lot more than we bargained for.
Twin 1 made up a video from Monday and then as it was such a nice day out Twin 1 suggested we run the Brunello Estates Golf Course. Twin 1 did the math and converted the yards of each hole to kms and informed Twin 2 and Bro-in-law RC that the course was only 6k. Ok we said, let's do it. Keep in mind the last time we all ran was about two weeks ago at the BLT 5k Fun Run.
We started off on hole #16 and wasn't really sure where we were going as the cart path was going every which way. We then got our bearings and figured the holes out. What a hilly course but that's ok, it's only 6k, we can do this! We finally reach 5k and were happy that there was
only 1k left until the Bro-in-law brought to our attention that how can it be only
1k left when we still had 9 holes to run? GREAT question! Apparently the yardage of each hole is from Tee to Green
and the cart path is a lot longer then that…9.77k to be exact. During the last few holes we walked more than ran because it was a very hard run with all the
rolling hills. The hills are not hills that you can easily run up and down because when you go up the hill the pavement is right in front of your face it's so steep and on the way back down the other side you have to put the brakes on or you'd be rolling head over feet. We highly recommend this route for a good 10k run or walk for that matter. We're hoping to make this our regular weekend route until the snow flies, now that we know what to expect.
We are sore today.
