I DID IT! I finished my second ever 10k race! (First one being in October last year). So, here is a brief recap. The event is called ‘The Night 10k’ and it’s held on Lake Bled (google it guys, it’s so gorgeous). I’m not used to running that late at night but it was so much fun! Everyone wore headlights, and it was really kind of magical. The medals were in shapes of forks, because you also get dessert at the end (it’s called Kremsnita, so so so good) and I’m just... happy? My pace was good (around 7 mins for 1 km) so my overall time was 1 hour and 13 mins! 

Now... on to half marathon training!

I took an unexpected week off from running, as I went to Switzerland to visit my sister.. so today's run was an easy 4k of running/walking. Also, finally signed up for half marathon training. Let's see what you've got Nike running!

Yesterday's and today's runs! After pretty much taking the whole June off, I decided to ease in a bit, but I couldn't be bothered to download the C25k app again, so now I alternate between 1 song walking and 2 songs running. I felt really really good today (yesterday not so much) but hopefully I can keep the streak going all through my vacation!

SUNDAY RUNDAY! to be perfectly honest, one of the main reasons i got out of bed this morning was to write that 😂🙈 i felt so unmotivated and tired, especially after skipping the run yesterday (i felt so emotionally drained after the 'incident' on friday i couldn't fall asleep till 1am and waking up early was just not in the cards). but once again, the C25k saved me as i rationed with myself. it's just half an hour. you just walk a little, run a little. but once i was outside i did really push myself during my runs and i felt absolutely great once i finished. i hope your sunday was as awesome as mine! 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️

I'M SO PROUD FAM! I did some leg exercises yesterday so I was absolutely sore. But once again, the C25k came to my rescue - just half an hour of walking/running. My post run breakfast was on point - greek yogurt, one banana, blueberries, raspberries and maple syrup! Day off tomorrow, to do some ab workouts and then week 2 on Thursday!

here we go! it took me a little bit longer to finally restart C25k than i wanted but the weather's been so miserable i just couldn't bring myself to get out there. i did 6 measly runs in january (i doubt i would even do one without the #janrunclub) so i can definitely do better this month! i felt good, not too tired although i do need to step up my foam rolling and even yoga to stretch. also, it takes me too long from when i wake up (6.30-7.00) to when i actually go out for a run (this morning it was around 7.45. other than that, very pleased with my morning!

Oh dear. I think it has really become clear I need to go back on the C25k program. I’m going on a short trip this weekend so no running but first thing Monday, I’m starting with week 5. The post run protein and peanut butter pancakes were on point though!

Uuuuuuugh today's walk/run was SO HARD. My trail is still completely snowed in and it was really hard to run. So I mostly walked. I really am more out of shape than I thought, damn it. I'm thinking of going back to the Zombie 5k and starting on week 4-6 somewhere? Hopefully that'll bring me up to speed. Still. Went out there!
