timer that runs 2 of every 3 seconds c#

Is there a way to run a program every two of three seconds? I know you can make timers run every n milliseconds, but not every n of m seconds. For a very basic example, pretend I want to have two functions that both add to an integer value. One function would run two of every three seconds and add 5 to some value. The second function would add 100 to the same value, but would only run that one second that the other one doesn't run. Does this make sense?

The simplest way would be to keep an internal representation of which second you were on and switch based on it to a different execution.

private int counter = 0;
private int whichSecond = 0;

void RunsEverySecond()
{
    if (whichSecond < 2)
    {
        counter += 5;
        whichSecond++;
    }
    else
    {
        counter += 100;
        whichSecond = 0;
    }
}
