Time for a run or two..

So I haven't posted something in a while. I've been busy. Since my last post I ran a small 6km run called the "Frauen Fun Run" Ladies fun run .. managed to finish in a bit over 33 min, which I was proud of :) These ladies also always give out fantastic goodie bags, which are of course half the fun :D

Here are a couple of photos:

I wasn't too excited about running the race tbh because no one came with me and I thought I'd be a total loner. Turns out I was wrong. The race was fantastic over 2,000 women running & nordic walking through Viennas Prater. Before the run there was a great warm-up session hosted by the Big Smile Club. It was fantastic, I couldn't stop laughing but I joined in and loved every second of it :)

I also took part in a Hip Hop Pole fusion class which was great, something new also enjoyable sadly it was only a one time two hour course. I have however also signed up to Pole Dancing LVL IV ! EEEEEK I start next thursday ..

My cousins came to visit me as well. Of course we went to Parndorf one of Austrias shopping outlets and I bought a bunch of stuff at Nike.. naturally. 

Both E and I got matching rain jackets for running outside just because it was reduced from €80.- to €20.- and it's pink... who doesn't love pink? It sure as hell pimps my fitness wardrobe, which consists of mostly black, some grey and if you're lucky a couple of coloured shirts given to me by E.

Today I went for a fast 6,55km run wearing my new rain jacket I LOVED it! :) It drizzled a bit, but I didn't get wet waheeeey ! Successful buy? I think so :)

Here are a couple of photos of this fantastic pink jacket:

It has a great pocket in back, which I didn't use but could've stuffed with tissues or a hat ? 

The closest nike has to offer to the jacket online is this I guess..

My goal for the month is to get to my next milestone on nike.com, which is only 54 km away ;) 

Wish me luck! 

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!
