Day Twelve

So this past weekend I decided to go up to the chalet with the family. I woke up somewhat early … ok maybe not early at all….to the warm smell of waffles… and even though I did want to stay and eat my to my hearts content I went for my morning run instead. I did a 4km all up hill and then decided to run up the BIG hill on which my chalet sits on… My thoughts during...

Day Eleven

I am finally home after about a month being in Montreal. I had fun….but at the same time its so nice being home… It was such a nice day yesterday I would have gone for a run outside but the world cup kept me on a treadmill. It was super weird running on a treadmill after running outside for you long. I honestly thought I was going to fall off the thing. Got to do an awesome...

Day Ten

My run today felt faster then usual maybe because I couldn’t run for the last few days cause of weather and it just felt refreshing this morning…or maybe it is because I woke up this morning to the wonderful buzzing of the vuvuzela’s….nothing like a good swarm of wasps to get you out of bed in the morning. Now I’m just waiting for the old ladies to finish up their...

Day Seven

So to tell you the truth … if my dad didn’t bug me today about training I probably would have either procrastinated today or skipped it all together… Thankfully I went and it was definitely worth it. Took it easy today… was definitely having some breathing issues… Did my regular run today and added in another extra circuit to it. Ran by the Lebanese BBQ...

Day Four

Ok so I had to kick my ass into gear this morning. It is the perfect temperature outside today for my run and getting my head into the idea of running…took a bit of time today. Luckily my “Rockstar” playlist saved me in the end. SO I have already found out that I do NOT like biking into the wind…today I learned that running into the wind is not much better. Running...

Day Three

I calculated … ok so maybe I didn’t calculate cause I’m the worst at math but Alex calculated the pool at the apartment and to swim the equivalent of .8k I would have to swim 26 or so laps in the pool. The pool is of course closed on my swim training day but today I will be biking anways. On a totally seperate note: Events I’m now working: Art for Eyes - this is a...

Day One

I have decided to set a fitness goal for my workouts this being training for a triathalon, even though I will have to build up the courage to actually enter in one, my goal for the next 6months is to train and be confident enough to actually register my lazyass into one. Finding a Triathalon to aim for: Is harder then it looks…difference in terrain, time, weather conditions I think I...
