Friday Funny

The twins and sista Wi are off to Moncton this weekend for a get away.  We promise to have some posts of substance next week.

Workout Wednesday

This post may be a little confusing as it confuses us and that is why we CANNOT SKIP WORKOUTS cause it messes with us and the schedule.

Wednesday May 20th - Scheduled REST DAY but we did Fire 45/55 & Core 20 (make up videos) - Both of the fire 45 and Fire 55 are scheduled to be made up.  Twin 1 did Fire 45 and Twin 2 did Fire 55.

Thursday, May 21st - Fire 30, Tone 30 - Rested- no excuse  BOOOOOOOOO

Friday, May 22nd - Fire 55 EZ - DONE! and Twin 1 made up Tone 30 from the day before.

Saturday, May 23rd - Fire 45, Stretch 40 (make up video) - DONE! Except the Stretch 40.  Twin 2 made up the Fire 30 & Tone 30 from Thursday and Twin 1 made up the Fire 30 from Thursday.

Sunday, May 24th - Core 20, Stretch 40, Fire 30 (make up video) - DONE! Except the Fire 30.  We also went for an hour hike in the Bluff Wilderness Trail. 

Monday, May 25th - Fire 55 EZ - DONE! And we did a 2.6k run, YAY us!  We won't go into dets as to how long it took us to make up our minds whether to go or not.  The important part is the fact that we got out and did one.  

Tuesday, May 26th - Fire 30, Sculpt 30- DONE!

Tip Tuesday

Start your recovery early.  Refueling after a long run is essential to help your body recover quickly.  Eat or drink about 200 or 300 calories of carbohydrates and some protein within an hour of finishing.

Plans for the weekend:  Get our butts in gear and run a 5k.  Two weeks until the Sole Sisters 5k and we haven't been out running in weeks/months.

I WON! and Happy Birthday.

Not sure if you've ever played this game 2048 but after years of playing on the Ipad Twin 1 downloaded it to her phone the other day and won!

Also we'd like to Wish Onyx Geraldene Evans a Very Happy 2nd Birthday!

 

Workout Wednesday

We did not do so well this past week as we planned to workout the long weekend and stick to the schedule but when we are away we NEVER do what we intend....maybe next time.

Wednesday, May 13th - REST DAY!

Thursday, May 14th  - Fire 55 EZ - DONE

Friday, May 15th  - NADA

Saturday, May 16th  - NADA

Sunday, May 17th  - NADA

Monday, May 18th - NADA

Tuesday, May 19th - Fire 30, Sculpt 30 - DONE.  We were going to make up our Core 20 video but Twin 1 had a lot of running around after work and Twin 2 was lazy.

We now have to fit 7 videos into the rest of May for make-ups. Gonna be a fun 2 weeks but we have it all scheduled out.  We have to give ourselves some credit for sticking to this schedule for the past 4 weeks with only missing 1 video.

Tip Tuesday

Traveling to an event?  Drink lots of water and be well rested before hopping on a plane.  Hydration and sleep may affect performance more than jet lag, unless you're traveling across five time zones.

Friday Funny & Good Luck

I'm sure you have seen this before but it gives us a chuckle every time we look at it.

It's Bluenose weekend this weekend.  We'd like to wish everyone happy running!

Workout Wednesday

Wednesday, May 6 - REST DAY!

Thursday, May 7 - HIIT 20 & Sculpt 30 - Done by Twin 1.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR WIWL SISTER WIWWIA.  Twin 2 had a BBQ for her which was wonderful.

Friday, May 8 - Fire 55 EZ - DONE

Saturday, May 9 - Core 20 & Stretch 40 - DONE (Twin 2 also made up a Fire 45 ez video from the previous Friday and the HIIT 20 video from Thursday)

Sunday, May 10 - Fire 45 & Stretch 10 -DONE

Monday, May 11 - Fire 55 EZ - DONE

Tuesday, May 12 - Fire 30 & Sculpt 30 - DONE

The weather is getting better.  Still hit and miss but on Sunday it was warm and be-u-ti-ful.  We were going to go for our first bike ride of the season but after we went grocery shopping we went back to Twin 2's house for coffee and cookies instead.  Coffee & cookies trumps all other activities.  Twin 2 and her husband got out for a little one later in the day.

Tip Tuesday

When you'll be going for a long run or event, don't eat anything new.  You know your body best, so in the days leading up to the long distance, stick to foods you've eaten before and that you know your stomach can easily digest.

Nice spring day on Sunday so listened to some tunes.

No green grass yet but some flowers are sprouting in the gravel driveway.

Twin 2 found $1 on her Mile a Day on Monday.  This challenge pays for itself!

Headless Mannequin

Ricki's is closing out in some places and we walked in the store in DM crossing and these were for sale!  What a great motivator as who doesn't want to look like this?  We did not buy one but it would be an idea to stick in the gym LOL.

Tip Tuesday

To boost speed, add some intervals at 5k race pace to your schedule every week to 10 days, such as 5 x 800 meters at 5k pace with 2 minute jog recoveries.

Donut

So last Saturday Twin 2 gets a text from her husband telling her that Tim Hortons now has a nutella donut.  What??  More dets please!

So after the above-noted convo it was the Twins' mission to taste said donut.  Sunday after our quest for sneakers Twin 1 drove Twin 2 home and stopped in at Tims for said donut.  We went through drive thru and when we got up to the window they notified us that they had no more Chocolate Hazelnut Filled with Nutella donuts.  What? BOOOOOOO.  So they sold us on their Nutella filled pastries.  3 for $3.  Sure.  It has Nutella int it it should be tasty.  Not so much.  Not recommended.

 Twin 2 had the day off on Monday and her and her husband were out shopping and it was coming on lunch time and Twin 2 was getting hangry.  A donut would solve that problem. 

TADA!!!

This our friend is THE Chocolate Hazelnut Filled with Nutella donut.   IF you love Ferrero Rochers then you will LOVE this donut.  Highly recommended!!!
