B2W HIIT

So here we go…

It is around this time last year that I decided to start running again. I used to run in my 20s but it wasn’t good quality running. I probably owned the wrong shoes, had no knowledge of HR, cadence, stride length or power. So this time it was different. I discovered a passion. Running to me is everything. It’s science, it’s art, it’s meditation. It’s therapeutic and it’s challenging all at the same time.

Running hasn’t come easy for me but it has helped me get through difficult times because I would tell myself “if I can do this, I can get through anything”. Literally ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF ANOTHER.

Sooo in the spirit of celebrating what I’ll call my one year anniversary with running 😂, I will leave you with some tips of what I learned during my journey which can be applied to any aspect of life:

📍Invest in good quality running gear - sneakers matter. Get a belt, be comfortable and look dorky. Who cares!

📍Celebrate small victories. - no matter how small.
(Running when you don’t feel like it. Beating your time by 5 seconds, etc)

📍Don’t get upset about setbacks. They will happen. Nothing is linear.

📍Be consistent- if you want to get better, you have to do it. A LOT.

I was in PJs and a robe 2 minutes before I took this pic. Some days are just harder than others. That’s why we set goals. To lend purpose to the days when we struggle, the days we require more motivation.

Today’s run wasn’t spectacular on its own but it really was spectacular in the grand scheme of things. 2 months ago, I could barely finish 2.5 miles. Today, in preparation for my long run tomorrow, I planned to do 3 steady miles (in NO mood mind you!). Ended up at almost 4, having to restrain myself from increasing my pace and from even running longer. Oh how far I’ve come. So proud ☺️

Every great little starts with an even greater stance 🥰

A little pep talk, sometimes all you need 🖤

Them: your abs do not define you.
Me: Oh yes they do.

Shorts weather 😏

It’s aight 😏

Make it count and invest in some good lighting 🤣

My 2021 transformation. Didn’t take more a simple commitment. Find what you love to do, be consistent, reach your goals.

If you THINK you need to work out for hours. 🛑 STOP and reevaluate every decision you’ve ever made in your life. 😂😂 just kidding.

But in all seriousness…unless you have the time (who does?!) and the desire (…seriously who does?!) 15 min is all 👏 you 👏 need 👏.
