I hope everyone's been having a great time achieving their goals and having a wonderful holiday stuffing their faces, at least that's what I've been up to :)
I've been on holiday since last Tuesday the 23rd of December and have been doing quite well I must say, the first day Tuesday I went for an hour long walk, then I went for my first winter run on Friday the 26th my second on Sunday the 28th and my last yesterday Tuesday the 30th. Daily I've been doing the Ab challenge although I've decided to take on two days in one and do one day in the morning another in the evening. On the days I haven't been running I've been doing floor work, pushups, squats, weight lunges, jumping rope exercises and more :)
For the past two days however it has been snowing hardcore and I've had to go out multiple times a day to clear the driveway so I've been building up my arm strength through that :p
Anyway today I was scrolling through instagram and discovered that you can add photos to your nike runs ! HOW AWESOME IS THAT!???
So I obviously had to do this and here's what I came up with :) Wishing you all a lovely New Years! x
Today I woke up with the full dedication of going for a run, I got even more excited to do so when I looked out my window and saw that the fields were covered in snow! The first snow of the year yesssssss! This got me über excited!
So I got ready, wearing my awesome nike running watch (kudos to El), my long nike running pants (kudos to El again) and my great touchscreen friendly nike running gloves. (Yes I may have a slight Nike addiction...)
I ran through one village and along fields of snow to the next village, it was a tough run and I've never run so slow, I felt like a gazelle jumping through the snow as the car tracks were slippery I stuck to the "deep" (15cm) snow, which felt like running through the ocean or a pool?
Once I got to the end before I turned around I took a photo because it was so beautiful! That's something I really cherish about the countryside, it's beauty.
I ended up running 6km, taking me 40 minutes -.- Oh well next time I'll do better :) Once I got home I did the 30 Day Ab challenge and my usual jump rope workout :)
Enjoy the weekend!
