First run of 2021 completed! 

The streets were almost empty, as I expected. Only 2k, but I’m taking it easy as I still get out of breath quickly.

I saw a female blond-crested woodpecker (Celeus flavescens). Couldn’t take a picture because I didn’t bring my phone (afraid of getting mugged), but it looked just like this:

Then I got home and did 30 minutes of yoga on my brand new yoga mat - week 5 day 4 of the PBR program. I love the yoga sessions; the HIIT ones, not so much. But I’m definitely getting better at those side planks!

Theo likes the new mat too.

Now Im listening to heavy rain while eating crackers and finishing up a bottle of champaigne.

Happy new year!

I’m proud of myself!

I’d stopped running and doing pilates back in March when the pandemic started, and have been working on the computer all day ever since... so let’s just say I’m far from the best shape I’ve ever been.

I started running again back in September (after realizing that my clothes were all shrinking), and even though I’m not running as fast or as long as I used to (I’m not used to running anymore, plus the weather is damn hot and running with a mask on is horrible), I’ve never been this consistent in my life! 

(the first pic shows the distance I’ve run per week, just focus on the fact that I haven’t skipped any week lol) 

Today I completed Week 5 Day 1 of C25K and it felt so good to be able to run the 3 sets of 5 minutes after struggling with Week 4 for a few weeks! lmao

And I purchased the yoga/strength training program PB Resolution by “Bad Yogi” Erin Motz on her black week sale and have been pretty consistent at that, too!

I’m planning on running every day during my summer vacation (which starts a week from now). It’s not like I have any other plans anyway.

I’ll let you know how that goes!
