Bhangra Fit

Best day ever!!! Finished my first ever half marathon!

Felt pretty good most of the way. The last couple of KMs were rough because I felt really nauseous but I pushed through and finished with a decent time.

My goal was to finish it under 2:30. Managed to finish in 2:19!

The energy was unreal! So many people showed up to cheer on the runners. HUGE shoutout to my personal cheering squad!! .7 .beniwal & thank you for coming to cheer me on, it definitely motivated me to keep pushing. 💕

I’ll be 49 next month! It’s never too late to start. Push the limits.

Congrats to all the runners! 🙌

Wednesday was my last bike ride…until next summer at least! Lol

Had a pretty bad wipeout. I landed on my left side, lots of scraps & bruises. It could’ve been a lot worse so I’m grateful for that.

The timing was not so great because I have my very first half marathon on Sunday.

I went for short run today & it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. After the first couple of KMs, I felt pretty good.

I’m planning on doing the run on Sunday. It might take me longer but that’s ok. Feeling even more motivated now! 😊
🤪

It was a tough start after being on vacation for the last 2 weeks & very little running. I had pain in my calf for the first 4K but it was smooth sailing after that.

It was nice to chat with you . 😊

The shiny medal & ice cream at the end was all worth it! 😁

Happy Canada Day!!

Celebrated Canada Day with my first 15K. Felt great throughout the whole run. The hills were not so great but I managed. 😊

I did manage to take a wrong turn though on the way back but realized it early enough to turn back & make up that distance! 🤪😂🤷🏽‍♀️

I feel better about doing half marathon in August now. 😊

I usually set a distance goal before I go for a run. Today’s goal was at least 13K.

I knew that was not going to happen just few minutes into the run. My foot felt very numb & started having pain in my leg. Had to stop lots of times to stretch my leg.

It was very frustrating but I wasn’t going to give up, I’m way too stubborn for that! Lol. I did listen to my body though.

So the new goal was at least 10K. The pain went away after about 4K but the numbness remained. That was a win for me! 😊

So I kept going & felt great. On the way back, I started feeling nauseous due to heat & humidity. BUT my foot wasn’t as numb so that was a win for me.

Just kept hydrating & slowed down when I needed to. I managed to do 11K & had pretty decent time & pace, considering. I’ll take that as a win! 😊

Celebrate those wins no matter how small. 💕

11K run! Tried a different trail today, short drive from home. Capilano Bridge Loop from Goldstick Park was little bit of everything. It was definitely challenging at times with narrow & hilly paths.

It took me a bit longer because of the hills 🥵 & having to check the map so I didn’t get lost! 🤪

Will definitely try this one again! 😊

Another 10K completed! This one was for my strong & kind mom, miss her everyday. 💕

It was a tough start. I was already really hot before the race even started so that didn’t help. Then you add the hills & I was dying! Lol.

BUT out of nowhere it started raining which was very encouraging. Tnx mom! 😊

Have an amazing weekend everyone! 😘

Thank you to all the fire fighters battling fires across Alberta right now! 🙏🏽

First event of the year for me! It was a slow start for the 10K run but last half was great! The hills & stairs were tough! 🤪 but overall experience was AMAZING!! 💕

Managed to do 8K today. Runs have been tough & frustrating due to my numb foot/leg (long Covid symptoms).

But today I didn’t push myself, just kept a study pace. My goal was just to finish the run without any pain. I probably could’ve run longer but it was hotter than I thought & I didn’t take anything to hydrate! 🙄😊

This has to be one of my favourite events I’ve organized, with lots of help from some amazing coworkers. There was nothing but smiles. Everyone had a blast at Bhangra Blast! 💕🎶💃🏽

Last lesson today. Got to ski on the lake today, so beautiful. Two hours of hard work! 😅 and no falls today! Lol. I’m pretty much an expert now! 🤪

It was much warmer than last weekend. Lesson #5 today!

Didn’t really feel like going today. My left leg & foot have been pretty numb lately. Long lasting symptoms from Covid back in June. 🙄

I had to work extra hard especially during snow plows. But I’m so glad I made myself go. It was frustrating at time but so rewarding at the same time. Make time for what you love!💕

Got some cuddles from ms Luna after & my sister made aloo prantha! Best day ever! 😊
