Unplanned schedule remember to breathe

Hello loves,

Thanks to everyone with your supportive comments, I know Lori appreciated them all! I will do my job and try to keep her positive about it all!

Twins Workout:

Lori and I got up this morning and went for another 6 mile run. But wait… that is not your typically training schedule. Well with everything in life, things got in the way we actually have not really had the perfect training schedule. We were not able to run our long run today, so knowing that we decided to break up our long run over the week. This way we are still getting mileage on our feet!

We did 6 miles yesterday and did another 6 today. We hope to do another 6 tomorrow but it might be Thursday. We are learning to go with the flow and run whenever we get a chance. Lately, we have been loving our yoga, despite having all this craziness in our life right now, yoga really helps ground us. Thank goodness for yoga.

Yoga reminds us to breathe!!

One of my favorite quotes is from the movie, Ever After starring Drew Barrymore, anyone seen it? It is Cinderella story, anyways there is one big part in the movie where she is at the Prince’s ball and every turns to look at her, and she says, “Just breathe!”

I do not know why I love that I just do. Whenever I get overwhelmed I picture this part in the movie….does anyone else have a movie or anything they do that helps relieve some stress or help you remember to breathe?

So how have we been feeling on our runs?

We both like our Nike free shoes, so happy with that purchase. We still have not purchases our marathon outfit yet. We have some other race clothes we have worn before so have been running in those, but I know it is important to get used to the clothes you will wear for the race.

We both have noticed what things help us during our runs and what has not. For instance what we eat the night before affects us the most! Therefore we are going to try to keep our dinners simple if possible and try to have it be a smoothie of some sort.

Overall we both feel we are doing well with our training. Trying not to panic about the race…getting close only 8 weeks away. YIKES = ) Some nerves are kicking in as to why I signed up for another marathon?? Can I do it again?

Twins Eats

Pre-workout/BK: Green Mush – buckwheat (soaked and sprouted), coconut oil, lemon, spirulina, cacao nibs (we blend ours in blender to make it a mush, so easier on the tummies)

2 Green smoothies (lunch/dinner)

late lunch/snack – Spiced homemade Sauerkraut and semi-raw green been casserole (this is part of our theme week – holiday meal)

 

We have been loving our raw sauerkraut. At first we were scared to eat let alone make it homemade Now we are obsessed with it… go figure!  Do you ever get intimidated when trying something new… sometimes it can be scary at first but we have learned if you have an open mind you just might end up liking it. And in this case – obsessing over raw sauerkraut I do not feel is a bad thing!

And lately we have been ending our nights with a cup of warm spiced pumpkin milk. We use our seed milk and warm it up on the stovetop and throw in spices (cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cardamom). We have been enjoying this as our night cap ; )

Ok as I said our theme week recipe for today is the semi-raw green bean casserole. Check back in tomorrow for the recipe. Don’t worry it is another easy one!

Have a good night!

Till next time,

The Twins
