5 WEEKS TILL THE BLT 5K.  We are getting there.

Wednesday, September 14, 2016 - Run at Point Pleasant with the pups at 5:00 p.m. It was a little chilly but we quickly warmed up.   We are getting a little faster on the hilly course.

W - 10 min
R - 5 min, W - 1 min X6
W - 10 min

Total = 56 min. 5.48k @ 10:25/km



*********************************************************************************

Thursday, September 15, 2016 - Originally a REST day but we Twin 2 was heading to PEI on Friday and Twin 1 had a bank appointment we got our Friday run done today.  We ran around the 5k loop at Twin 1's that included sidewalk and trail.

W - 10 min
R - 6 min, W - 1 min x 5
W - 10 min

Total = 55 min. not sure of the KM and min/km as Twin 2 has that info and she's been MIA working so we didn't get the info for that one.

 *********************************************************************************

Friday, September 16, 2016 - REST

*********************************************************************************
Saturday, September 17, 2016 - Rest

Twin 1 went for walk at Kearny Lake Trails while Twin 2 was in PEI.  It is bow season now so we have to wear our hunters orange as there is hunting allowed in the deeper woods where we walk.
Here are some pictures.

*********************************************************************************

Sunday, September 18, 2016 - Bike (Stationary). 

E =10 min
H = 1 min, E = 4 min x 6
E = 5 min

Total =  45 min = 10 km

*********************************************************************************

Monday, September 19 2016 - This run we did on our own as Twin 2 was working in DM and no one knew what was going on so it was decided we would do it alone.  Twin 1 took to the street and got caught in the rain on the way home and Twin 2 did the tread mill. The km's and times differentiated as we went different speeds that that is why there is no total.  This was a confusing run as it was both miles and times so some math was needed.  We both got it done!

 W - 10 min
R -  1 mile (which equals about 1.6k)
W - 5 min
R - 6 min , W - 1 min x3
W - 10 min

*********************************************************************************
Tuesday, September 20, 2016 - Bike (Stationary) - WE WERE SUPPOSED TO DO THIS WORKOUT BUT EACH TOOK A "REST" DAY.  We will make this one up on our scheduled rest day.  Also Twin 1 went for a 5.6k walk with sister Wi and the pups. 

Tip Tuesday

Don't make a bad day a bad week, a bad week a bad month, a bad month a bad year.

Friday, September 9, 2016 - EYEBROW NIGHT! There is nothing better then getting the eyebrow's and hair done.  We ran around 7pm letting our eyebrows get back to normal.  We did the "loop" around Twin 1's which was half road and half trail.  As it gets dark around 8pm we wanted to be out of the trial by then. We cut the workout short by 3 min as we made it back to the house but we got all the runs in.

Twin 1 went for walk at High Head Trail in Prospect and Twin 2 went shopping.

*********************************************************************************

T = 10 min

 W - 10 min
R -  5 min, W - 1 min X 6
W - 10 min

Total =  52 min. 5.44k @ 9:34min/km

T = 25 min gradually increasing as you go
E = 5 min

Total =  35 min = 8 km

Tip Tuesday

If you want to become a runner then get onto a trail, into the woods, or on a sidewalk or street and run.  Go 50 yards if that's all you can handle.  Tomorrow, you can go farther.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friday, August 26, 2016 - Ran at Twin 1's at 5:30 pm in the trial.  There were showers throughout the afternoon but when we ran there were none but once we got in the car and on our way home they started again. It was a humid run and a little rain would have been nice.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sunday, August 28, 2016 - Bike & ST - The plan was to do the below stationary bike workout but we decided to do a 40 minute outdoor bike ride on the trail instead.

E - 8 min
T - 15 min
E - 7 min

Total = 30 min

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Monday, August 29, 2016 - Run at Twin 2's at 5:20 pm in the trail with the dogs.  We had planned to go a total of 44 minutes but cut it short because Pearl may have been getting a little dehydrated (she's fine now).  We cut the warm up / cool down walks shorter but got all the run/walk times in.

W - 6 min
R - 4 min/W - 2min X4
W - 5 min

Total = 44 min for 3.74 k at 9:23/k 35 min

Tuesday, August 30, 2016 - Bike & ST
E - 10 min
H - 1 min/E - 4 min X5
E - 5 min

Total = 40 min for 9k

So far we've gotten all our runs and bikes in but were not doing so great on the strength.  We'll start to work on that in September.  I'd say following the run and bike plan for 3 weeks straight so far is progress.
