January 12 - Week 1 ish

Gaby and I signed up for the Vancouver Sun Run and we decided to train from this week until the second week of April. Here's a picture of our training!

We went running all week, and on Wednesday, we did insanity with my cousin! Since it was raining hard on Thursday, we decided to just do a workout and stretch because of how tired we were from fitness. For fitness, we did this awesome poker game which was so fun to do! Gaby, Yulia, and I were in a team, so we had to do more exercises compared to the team with 4 people. I had so much fun doing fitness and actually having motivation to do all the exercises (we're so competitive lol).

Although we didn't get a good hand on any of the games, it was a blast and I hope to do it again!

Where is Yulia when we're taking these pics????

For Friday, we ran 3 miles, which was tiring considering that our legs were dying from the day before! My phone decided to not record our run because it hates me. One thing I noticed was that when my legs are in pain from doing something the day before, it goes away while I run, but it returns right afterwards! 

On Saturday, Gaby and I ran 6 miles in about an hour and 10 min! We haven't ran long distances since summer but it was totally fun! At the pace we we're supposed to go at according to the plan, we were able to talk to each other just fine and forget that we were even running! Here's the result from this run:

Also, I've been researching healthy eating for my Planning 10 project, and I started eating more fruits and veggies!

Here are some examples:

This was my breakfast. I had a banana&strawberry smoothie!

After insanity, Aubrey and I were starving and we ate oranges, apples, and melons!

After school, I had kale salad and water as a snack before going out for a run!

My dad noticed how much salad I was eating and decided to buy more!

I don't know if I like this style of blogging where I would sum up my week in one post. I'll be trying it for the next few weeks and if I like it, I guess I'll stick with it!
