Went on the Chedoke Trail with the girls but this time started at the bottom and got off the main path right away. We ended up taking a pretty extensive hike and found some awesome water falls.. The girls were pretty brave and one of the twins a bit to brave I think. It was great and got some great pictures. At the end they wanted to do the stairs once. The did it and didn’t talk the whole way home, they were already falling asleep. Washed up quick, brushed teeth and they fell asleep in about 5 minutes. Woohoo!
Could we have better weather? Man this is the spring of springs. I work in the basement of the building I’m in which many of you are aware of. I also leave the blinds closed far to often. Heading out for my workout I stepped outside and blamo! Amazing sunshine, all I wanted to do was skip the workout and hit “la terrace pour un verre!” My oh my. Well being the dedicated individual I am I hit the gym instead. Up the stairs of the dingy Rockyesque workout palace for repetition after repetition. I had a great workout and avoided the air conditioning puddle in the middle of the place. Anyhow did shoulders (shoulder press, bent over seated laterals and overhead barbell press), back (wide grip chins), abs (toe raises with twist, planks, hang leg raises, elbow to knees) and a bit of arms (preacher curl machine and tricep machine.
Well I didn’t quite get in the full run I wanted. I had three of the girls so decided the only way I was going to get my run in was at Hamilton’s AAA while the girls play in the park. Before leaving the house made sure I asked girls if they had to go to washroom and got the resounding no! Oh silly man, I still haven’t learned. I should have said “ok everyone needs to try and go to the bathroom!” ARRR. Sure enough about 12 minutes into my run the middle daughter comes running I need to go to bathroom. I stop my GPS she sais I can run into the rec centre myself so I thinking go ahead. I “restart the GPS” and keep my eyes peeled on each lap for her and see her come back. Then I realize I didn’t hit the restart button but had been keeping an eye on my pace and number of laps (4 laps per mile). Anyhow then one of the twins needs to go to bathroom I’m thinking at this point “forget it –different words actually” and so I gather the girls and take them home for bathroom break and so I can shower. I ran a between 2.5 and 2.75 miles. Anyhow left leg was a bit sore after stopping suddenly so probably a blessing in disguise.
I have always wondered what is up with the Octopus at the Red Wings playoff games. I’ve seen it so many times but never really looked into it, whether asking someone or looking on the net. Well tonight again the Wings are way up and the Octopus are being thrown on the ice. Well here you have it…
Well felt like Jack and Jill as we headed on an out and back but it was more like Serge and Anne went down the hill with nothing just a bottle of water, they hobbled down and gasped back up both feeling hotter and hotter. Well was a great 3 miler. I wasn’t sure what I would do but after the leg workout today I decided to keep it to the easy 3 mile run and also it’s fun being someones pace bunny. Had a great run and look forward to so many more.
