Can you guess what our Sundays will be consisting of now?

WHOOT! WHOOT!

Wha'd Up Wednesday

So last Wednesday evening we ventured to Boot Camp at 6 p.m.  It was pretty fun.  There were between 20 and 30 peeps there, some new faces and some familiar faces from the TTP running group.  It lasted 30 min which included warm up and cool down.  There was some group circuit exercises, exercises on your own and some partner work.  You don't have to worry whether someone else is better than you as there are people there of all ages and sizes and fitness level and you just do what you can do.  We plan to be back this evening.  They are usually held on Wednesday evenings and Sunday mornings.  We missed this past Sunday as we were in NH.

As stated we went to NH on the long weekend.  We just mainly hung out around home and we also went for a bike ride.  Twin 2 has been bugging her husband to packs the bikes in the van and he did this weekend so we had to make sure we actually went for a bike ride or he'd never do it again.  We drove around the NH River. We figured it Twin 1 could run around it (back during half marathon training last summer) we could for sure bike around it.  Took about 52 minutes.  

So as we started running a bit again Twin 2 got an email from Runners World about how to 'Run Less Run Faster'.  She was intrigued and always looking for an easy way out so she ordered this book.  She read the book and no, it will not be easy.  There will be less runs but the runs will be harder.  More on the book and their training plan in another post.

Just in case you are wondering we did not weigh ourselves on Sunday.  Mom and Dad don't have a scale (or maybe they do but we didn't see one) so instead of weighing ourselves in the middle of the week we'll just wait until next Sunday.  

 It is PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE season.  We haven't had one yet.  We're gonna try to hold off until Thanksgiving....one month...

So not much else to report.  Twin 2 did make a discovery.  She has an iphone and she's not the greatest with technology and if her phone can text she's happy with it.  Anyway when she was setting her alarm last Monday to get up early and go for the 5 am run she discovered that she could use a song as her alarm instead of the ones they give you on the phone.  Well...what song did she pick?  Larger than Life by the Backstreet Boys.  That's about the only thing that could get her up.  

Notice this alarm is never on repeat

 Take a listen.  Try it.  When the Boys tell you that you are larger than life I bet it will get you up too. (the music actually starts at :57)

Tip Tuesday

Designate one day of the week as your long run day.  This is your longest run of the week.  Use the long run day to increase your mileage to your desired distance.  Your other two run days of the week will be of shorter distance than your long run day.  For example: run one: 3.5 miles; run two: 3 miles; run three: 5 miles (long run day).
