running ❤️

Today I will be working my last morning shift for a while, which also means this was (hopefully) my last 4 a.m. run for the time being!! Again, it went surprisingly well, and I even set a new PR again! Next time will be an endurance run of 16 km without any interval training.

Today is gonna be such an exhausting day man. I woke up at 3:30 a.m. to run and will now be working til 9:30. After this I gotta get to uni for a studydate with some friends (which is gonna be so much fun though!!!) ❤️ after this i'll have to hurry home, meet my bf, have dinner, wrap my friend's bday presents and go to her house for drinks. I expect we'll be staying out late so this is probably gonna be a 24-hour day for me. Luckily I will be able to sleep saturday away because we didnt make any plans that day, but goddamn this is not gonna be easy 💀

This was another great run! I had so much fun and since it's been cooling down a little, even with all the sprinting, this run was still quite comfortable. I believe I also set a new PR!!! 🥰

In exactly one month and one day from now, I will be running my first 16K at the Dam tot Dam run (where we will be running from Amsterdam to Zaandam, I believe). I will start my first distance training on sunday, where I will be running 16K on a slow, steady pace without any sprinting. I'm excited to see how it will go! ❤️

Another early morning run down! Tonight was one of the hottest nights we've had this year and it didn't cool off one bit in the morning either, so naturally i was sweating like a pig in heat when i was about 5 minutes in. luckily it started raining a little after about 20 minutes which was a relief 🥰🥰🥰

During my run I saw the first signs of early fall, fallen leaves on the ground and some acorns lying around and almost making me break my legs. Hopefully the temperature is gonna be more fall-like soon as well! ❤️

Once again this dumbass GPS didn't register my entire run. It was another great one though ♡ I started my run at 4 a.m. again today and it went surprisingly smoothly? I felt like i didnt encounter enough zombies since i wasn't all that tired at the end of my run, so i finished off with a sprint which went very well!! I think I'm gonna try to start doing 16 km runs from next week onwards, since 11 doesn't feel like that much of a challenge any longer.

I was a lot slower than usual today :( this can be easily explained though, by the fact that 1) i havent had a good nights sleep in about a week, and 2) i went on a run before my morning shift, which means waking up at 3:30 a.m. and starting my run at around 3:50 a.m.

HOWEVER! it was so much fun!!!! and it was great to run in the dark for the first time in months. i tried on the runner's lights i wear around my upper arms when its dark out and i had to put them on much tighter than i used to :) my arms really shrank a lot and i didnt even have to really diet or anything, because of my metabolism speeding up and my muscles burning wayyy more fat because of all my running. my weightloss was effortless in the past couple of months and its so strange to me?

anyway, the temperature was great and it was very quiet out because it was so early, so i had the park all to myself too 😍

i had so much fun on this mission as well, i loved sam and janine's occasional bickering on the radio and encountered packs of zombies 5 times (and outran them 5 times without much problems!). im also starting to see a difference in my sprinting, it gets a little easier to manage everytime i get out there! the only downside on this mornings training was my gps fucking up and not registering all my distance. i ran my usual route of 11,2 km but not everything was registered correctly. oh well :)

and last but not least!!!! i think i spotted a bit of thigh gap this morning?? runner's legs incoming i guess 😍😍😍
