Sweaty Saturday

Welcome to Sweaty Saturday!

Well this week I have been forcing myself to get up when my alarm goes off at 5.30am to go for my 1 mile lap around the housing estate. I average about 12 minutes. First thing in the morning I am not feeling very energetic and especially with the temperature being low I am not really in the best mood to make myself run fast!

So for this week I only clocked 4 miles as the weather on Thursday and Friday was too severe for running! I did a mile today after I visited the fruit market. I will be adding my visit to YouTube shortly. Check it out.

I also did some butt toning exercises whilst watching Durianrider, but I may have been getting a little excited whilst squeezing my buttocks in a thrusting motion...hahahaha

Anyway! What have you been doing today to get sweaty??

I am off to a raw vegan Christmas potluck. I have prepared a superb salad selection, I cannot wait to eat.

Much love

Sweaty Saturday

Welcome to Sweaty Saturday!

I hope you get your sweat on, or have already had your sweat on today!

Today I took my camera out with me for a run and I am treating you to seeing me get a sweat on with some images and videos of where I live.

I feel like I have achieved so much today, I ran 8km and I normally run 3km, I kept going when my blisters started to irritate me and I also carried on despite my shin pains - I just hope I haven't damaged anything. I took it easy, mixing the running with some walking and I stopped to take photographs along the way.

I hope you take the time to watch my video, it's less than 4 minutes! It won't enhance your life in anyway but I hope you still watch it because it's me :) 

Edit: I realise now that I made a spelling mistake and that really bothers me, it should say "furthest" in the video! 

Well check back for Sexy Sunday, I still haven't decided what to treat you to!

Much love

Wishful Wednesday

Today is Wishful Wednesday!

I hope you have all had a fantastic week and are doing things you enjoy every day. Tonight I am starting an acting course. I used to be such a shy child and I remember I used to cry if I didn't feel comfortable so as an adult I am doing things that I always dreamed of having the confidence to do when I was younger.

So I feel good that I am fulfilling my childhood wishes, which means that what I wish for now will come true in a few years if not sooner (obviously my choices decide this)!

Today I am wishing for ultimate cardiovascular fitness.

Running in my vibrams!

Climbed in the park

I remember in primary school I wanted to join the cross country team, so I went out with them to try it. This was the worst experience I had had exercising because I couldn't keep up as I struggled to breathe. As a 9/10 year old I never thought there was anything wrong with me, I just thought I was pathetic so I stopped pursuing the dream of joining the team and that was the end of running for me.

Go forward 6-7 years and I'm being diagnosed with exercise induced asthma. Explains my inability to breathe when I run! I used an inhaler from then on whenever I exercised. It helped me build up my ability to run when I was 22 and I was doing 5-7km runs a couple of times a week.

Now jump ahead another 5 years and here I am, 27 years old. I do not use an inhaler anymore and I am gradually building up my strength and ability to run again.

With regular training and a clean diet, I wish to get back to doing 5-7km runs and I wish that I can do it with great ease. This wish is going to come true but I will need patience.

What are you wishing for today? 

Much love
