R.I.P Jamie Pilon

It's been a sad week as Twin 2's BFF's husband passed away in a motorcycle accident late Sunday evening.  Twin 2 is over in PEI attending the funeral. 

We had a lot of good times with him.  When we ran the PEI 10k a few years back he made us the best pasta dinner and we got a new PB for the 10k and it was all because of that pasta dinner.

We love you.

Wha'd up?


We did it! We finally bought new sneakers!

Twin 1 stuck with New Balance and was thinking she was buying the same ones she has at home but they are the same brand but not the same kind.  They were on sale so why not….

Twin 2 went back to the Asics as she found these more comfortable then her last New Balance ones. They are very pretty as well.
Twin 1's shoes:



Twins 2 shoes:

 Twin 1 finally completed this puzzle after 5 months. 
 
TP was on sale this week past.  Only 3.99 and look at it all!!!

We have started running again and we have  A LOT of arm gear to wear on the run.  3 pieces to be exact.  Our Garmin’s, Fitbits and Runner ID.  How did we ever run without all this?


Twin 1 found a recepie online for homemade dog treats.  Only a few ingreditents needed and they turned out really well and the pups love them.

After:


Our Tuesday Golf lessons are officially finished.  Our last lesson was last night and we played a few holes.  It was a great night for golf.  We would highly recommend these lessons at Brunello to anyone.

Motivational Monday

We've been recently trying to get back into running and most people are guilty, including ourselves, with the negative thought of how slow of a runner you are and people may not want to run with you for that reason.  Here's a little article to put things in perspective and just get out there and run. 


http://womensrunning.competitor.com/2014/04/training-tips/if-you-run-slow-who-cares_22791#0U8tLtYyg6GBzlkT.01

A member of our local running group posted this on Facebook as a comment to the article which is a better way to look at it.  

"Slow is the wrong term. Easy is a better term. "Easy" means at a pace you can breathe easy, chat and can recover from for the next day. Almost all runs, regardless of how experienced you are, should be like this.
Easy means you are far less likely to get injured. Less injured means you get to run more and that is how you get to run faster, by being consistent."

Wha'd up?


Wow these weeks are flying by.  The year is half over. 

We went home over the long weekend.  The weather was actually quite nice for New Harbour J

On the way down the skies didn’t look too promising.  Around the airport we drove through torrential rains and some people actuallyl pulled over.  We put our 4way’s on as some cars were doing that as well.  We drove out of it and had a good drive.


Twin 1 wanted to check out the walk “around the shore” as Googlemaps made it look like it was sand.  It was not, or at least not the part that we walked.  We didn’t walk too far though we were just checking things out in case she goes home on vacation and wants to do a bit of the walk.  Its definalty walkable but with proper footwear as we just had flipflops/sandles on.  Here are a few pics of it.





 And in the beginning we walked threw some longer grass and I think we disturbed some horse flies so they got Twin 1.

Some Strawberry shortcake took the itchy away

 
Also Twin 1 had a desk in the “office” and the FIL took it back to use as a table so we’ve been looking or a desk for a while.  Twin 2’s hubby found us one at the Salvation Army for $15!! Its like a teachers desk and works well.



We had another golf lesson last night.  This time it was at the driving range and we hit what felt like 1000 balls and were exhausted after it was over.  We know what we are doing wrong now and working on correcting it.  We have two more lessons left.  Last night was the first night that the weather was half decent as in the past they’ve always been cold.  Last night the wind was chilly but it died down a bit but still enough to keep the bugs away.
