Still here... Still active... Still beating my monthly challenges. One more month to go!

Happy Monday! Yesterday caught me on a walk instead of a run and man do I prefer running 🙈😅! But this was quite a workout nonetheless. Max elevation 445M the second pic is a view from the top (which made it a little worth it) hahaha. P.S I keep forgetting to take post-run pics. Will try harder to remember next time!

Happy Global Running Day! Running is one of the best things to ever happen to me. Read more about how I got started on my blog. How long have you been running?

I forgot to take my mandatory post run pic. Does a screenshot of the route work? 🏃🏽‍♀️

Throwback to Tuesday when my energy level was zero and my emotional state was questionable. After my warm up I was seconds away from giving up because I just didn’t feel like it BUT I cranked the music fought the tears (yes I almost cried 😅) and this was the end result! Strength, willpower and discipline all take training. To say I’m proud of myself would be a gross understatement! Let’s finish the week STRONG 💪🏽.

This week I’ve shared some techniques I used to improve my breathing while running. This is a major hurdle for runners and can be especially daunting if you’re a new running.
🌟What’s your breathing like when you run? Feel free to talk about your experience in the comments 👇🏽. Link 🔗 for the new post is in the bio 😁

TGIF!!!! The weekend is upon us and so I a new blog post! 🚨.
Have you ever felt winded or out of breath during your run? Well, I have and it was NOT fun so I decided to work on breathing better to improve my performance and I’m going to share what I did and lessons I’ve picked up on the way.

Gym bag appreciation. Over these past few weeks my gym bag has been completely repurposed. Here we’re looking at a weighted bag ready for deadlifts and squats. Versatility at its best?
Have you repurposed your gym bag? How have you modified to get extra weight at home?
P.S sorta kinda missing the barbel 🤫.

TGIF! It’s almost the weekend! You know what that means!? Long run! Check out my new blog post on my stretching routine and which is especially important after a long run. How many miles are you going for this weekend?

Sundays are my favorite running day. There’s something about the air and nature that gives me an extra pump. After taking my first few strides this morning I got completely captivated and at peace and literally felt like I could run forever. Joys of running? 😄
Have a great week. I have a new blog post coming later too so be sure to subscribe at the link in my bio ❤️

Happy Monday ! As we get ready to embrace this week no matter what it my throw at us remember to KEEP MOVING! (YES! this includes exercise as well) 😆.

A good stretching session especially after a run is my FAVORITE! Here are some reasons why:.
👟 Increases Flexibility
👟 Decreases of injuries
👟 Helps to prevent soreness AND 🥁 helps me increase my stride length and speed! .
All these benefits and MORE and it only takes about 5 minutes after each run 😁. How’s your stretching routine?

In recent weeks I’ve noticed much more persons walking and running within their communities.... observing social distancing of course 😁 (THIS MAKES ME VERY HAPPY!). So I decided to share 3 common lower limb injuries to look out for as you run or walk.
1️⃣Anterior knee pain- This most commonly occurs because the patella (knee cap) is not moving properly in the lower part of your thigh bone. This can be caused by: Weak Quads, Patella Tendonitis, Patella mal-tracking or other conditions.
2️⃣ Achilles pain- This usually begins as a stiffness along the Achilles’ tendon (Heel chord) that tends to go away over time. However it can then progress to pain and discomfort if not treated. Pain tends to get worse when you increase your speed when running or when going up an incline.
3️⃣ Plantar fasciitis- Pain and discomfort is usually felt on the sole of your foot and is most painful in the morning but tends to ease as the day progresses. Most common cause is due to improper footwork and lack of stretching.
Like most conditions these problems can resolve with exercise and stretching! Keep safe, stay Healthy

Now is NOT the time to stop moving! Exercise has been proven to:
- STRENGTHEN our immune system
- Decrease stress and anxiety levels
- Increase “feel good” hormones
- Increase lung and heart function
These are just a few benefits to a regular exercise routine can elicit. So what are you waiting on to get up and get moving?

Osteoporosis is a medical condition in which your body makes too little bone, loses too much bone or a combination of both. Studies suggest that 1 in every 2 women over 50 years and 1 in every 4 men over 65 years will suffer a fracture due to Osteoporosis. .
Osteoporosis is sometimes referred to as a “silent disease” because one CANNOT feel their bones weakening.
The GOOD news is it CAN be treated with exercise and medication. .
Let’s play our part and help to prevent Osteoporosis and those those suffering from it.

Sometimes I get excited on a Thursday especially when I’ve been going good on my weekly To-Do list... Let’s get ready to finish this week STRONG!

What’s your favorite part of your weekend??? Mine is getting the chance to get outside and be one with nature AND hopefully getting a mat Pilates workout with my socks of course!

Take that leap on faith and point in your “To-Do” list that 1 thing you’ve been putting off. For me it’s a long overdue Blog post.
Have a great week!
