#autumn run

Don’t know why but it won’t let me put in my splits. I actually had a NEGATIVE split my last mile and I’m so pumped.

Mile 1: 12:09

Mile 2 and 3: 12:20

Mile 4: 11:51!!!!!!!

Woke up today and literally said to myself that no matter what I was going to do this long run for the week. I was up late last night drinking for a prewedding party and didn’t sleep well. So I didn’t have high hopes for this run. I also didn’t pack any cold weather gear and it was 40F when I left the hotel.

I started my run FREEZING and luckily passed a target on the way and went in and bought gloves and a sweatshirt. After that I felt 💯 and was able to finish my run without dying. I was even warm during my last 1.5 miles so I had to take off the gloves and adjust the rest of my tops to cool off.

Hope all of you get out there and do what you think you can’t today! I promise you’ll feel great after

3.1 miles today and then this popped up at the end! It is hard to believe I did at least one run EVERY month this year.

Running is hard work, and it is easy to let planned runs come and go. I know I did that this year plenty of times. I cannot wait to see what the next few weeks holds for me running wise, and I’m even more excited for next year!!!

26/10/2016 // I haven’t been to run in a loooong time. Today I had to give it a try because next week my brother will be here visiting and I will not have the choice to work out in the apartment, it’ll be too crowded. Unfortunately I have a bad habit to breather through my mouth during running and it is not a big deal most of the year but it’s getting colder each day and actually I have to practise to breathe through my mouth to avoid getting a cold or burning my lungs... So it was a bit tricky today and cannot say that it felt comfortable but I managed to achieve what I wanted. Next week will be full of running not to disturb the men at home. :)  I had a banana-pear milkshake for breakfast with cinnamon to help the metabolism kick in, a plain tea and a cappuccino with little cocoa on top. Now back to my Dutch studies, the exam is tonight...yikes!

Over the next few weeks I shall be interviewing bands from As Elephants Are, to JAWS, to Autumn Run as well as some others (yet to be confirmed but still very exciting!) Please continue to read, blog, listen and ask, thanks!
