I guess I'll do an 'invisible fran" today on the beach today
I did an invisible fran in my hotel room last week. I found I got a better workout doing the real thing this morning but don't let that stop you.
P.S. Invisible Fran is the worst workout I've ever heard of. I did it after a burpee-situp workout and it was still a waste of time.
Was that an invisible burpee-sit-up workout?
My best visible Fran yet - PR'd 10:29.
Great job Margot! I PR'd as well 4:54. Thanks for the extra motivation Kat!!!
For coconut water, coconut milk, and whole coconuts try the West Indian/Caribbean stores just north of Dundas and Hurontario. They also have amazing tropical fruits and vegetables. Everything is imported from Jamaica or Trinidad and it's cheap. Multi-foods and Charlie's are in the same strip just past the CIBC. They are pretty competitively priced and have similar selections but the Muti-foods people are so so nice I recommend you look there first. Happy coconut'ing!
