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 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.

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."

Two peeps you may know have a birthday tomorrow!!

Have a good one!

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.

Happy Canada Day!!!

Wha'd Up?

Wednesday is here again.  This week is a short work week because of Canada Day falling on a Friday.  Most of us are going home this weekend as we haven't been since Easter. 

It started to rain last night but it stopped and stayed misty/foggy for our golf lesson.  We haven't had one in 3 weeks so it was nice to get back there and learn.  We are both really enjoying the lessons and the teacher.  We will be sharing some pointers this weekend with our Papa. 

We finished our 150km each in our Bike Challenge.  We did not raise as much as we liked but we didn't really "ask" anyone either we mostly just put it on Facebook.  The ones that did donate we really appreciated and we were actually surprised on some of the people we least expected gave us some.  We can still collect technically until June 30th.  We may do it again next June as it was nice to get out on the bikes.  But next year we will get them tuned up before we start.

DNR has been at Long Lake a few times last week so Twin 1 has been struggling with what to do with the dogs as she does not want another $180 ticket.  Last night before golf she gave Pearl her kong and took Onyx out and we weren't long out and it started pouring.  So instead of continuing around the loop which would have been shorter Onyx stopped and wanted to go back the way we came and wanted to get home and get her Kong.  Once her hubby got home he took them to Long Lake as we assumed as it was raining/wet there wouldn't be too many there or DNR and we were correct.

We took a break from our Fitbit Challenges this week.  Gil has been playing with Twin 2's fitbit as well as her road id and watches.  We are not sure what that is about but it could be the "rubber" wrist bands on them.

That's about it for this week.
