A child asked his father, "How were people born?" So his father said, "Adam and Eve made babies, then their babies became adults and made babies, and so on." The child then went to his mother, asked her the same question and she told him, "We were monkeys then we evolved to become like we are now." The child ran back to his father and said, "You lied to me!" His father replied, "No, your mom was talking about her side of the family."

Pictures & Mile A Day Winner

Hail in May.  Say whaaaat?

Hike at Long Lake

Working on fence.  Had to raise it as dogs were getting too big. Pearl can still almost jump over it though

.

 

So our Mile A Day In May is over and the winner is CF.  She walked at least a mile (and most days more) every day for the month of May.  Between the rest of us she was owed $5.  Shopping spree at Dollarama in her future we predict....or a coffee.

Workout Wednesday

Wednesday, May 27th - Today was a scheduled rest day.  Originally we were going to do a make up video (Fire 55/45) BUT we decided to take a rest day from the videos and do a 4k run as Sole Sisters is in just over a week.  We ran from Twin 2's house into the trail and then quickly ran out of the trail we we almost got eaten by something in the bushes.

Thursday, May 28th - Fire 30, Tone 30 - DONE

Friday, May 29th - Fire 55 EZ - Laziness and we were getting things together for a yard sale at Twin 1's house as her subdivision was having a community yard sale and we had some junk to sell.

Saturday, May 30th - Fire 45, Tone 30 (make up video) - Laziness.  We had the yard sale all morning and made some mo mo for Moncton. 

Sunday, May 31st - Core 20, Stretch 40 - Laziness - traveled to Moncton and shopped from noon until 9.

Monday, June 1 Scheduled Fire 45 EZ & Stretch 10 - In Moncton.  Used this day as a rest day b/c we needed it from all the workouts we did the previous days. :) We did however walk the mall from 10 am to 8:30 pm.  Soooo tired and sore afterwards. 

Tuesday, June 2 - Fire 45 EZ, Stretch 10 -HAIRCUT DAY!  Traveled back from Moncton in the morning and relaxed (laundry/lunches, etc) for a few hours then hair cut in the early evening.  Can't wait for bed.

Tip Tuesday

Maintain good form on hills.  As you ascend, shorten your stride and keep your feet low to the ground.  Try to keep your head, chest, and hips perpendicular to an imaginary horizontal line.  On descents, take short, quick, light steps and keep your center of gravity over your legs.

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.

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.
