Happy New Year :)

So far so good, I've been on one 10,5km run and that was on the first of january. I was planning on going on another run today until my dad said I'd most likely slip and break my neck because it's so icy outside so I thought it'd be best if I left it out today. 

Instead I went down to our cellar and did an hour long workout :) I started out with doing knee-ups going back and forth 10 times (one round for me was going back and forth once). Then I did 10 minutes of jump rope, the first five minutes were just normal jumping (left foot, right foot) and the other five were a mixture of only left, only right, side jumps, lunge jumps, front and back jumps, on the spot running/jumping and double-unders.

I then did day 11 and 12 of the 30 day AB challenge meaning 65 + 70 crunches, 60 + 65 second planks and 26 + 28 leg raises. I also did 50 jump lunges, holding the jumping rope high above my head, 50 lateral lunges, 50 pushups, 50 toe taps, 50 bridges, 50 Leg lifts (25x2 on each leg), 50 (25x2 on each leg) elbow to knee moves and 1 minute wall sit :)

I might go for a run later on but I doubt it!

Happy Weekend :)

First run in the snow

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!
