Apparently, I’m that girl who likes to exercise while others are partying and getting drunk in bright daylight. Just like last year, when I ran straight through a Carnival party. Don’t get me wrong, I do love to party, having fun with my girls, but people are just plain crazy during Carnival season, and I’m not really into that.
But obviously, I’m not the only one who wanted to get sweaty today, my gym was packed! Anyway, I bought a pair of new sneakers last week and wanted to test them out, so I did a short run on the treadmill.
The Stats:
- Distance: 1 mile (1,6 km)
- Time: 11:20 minutes
- Average pace: 11:20 min/mile
- Feeling: Speedy
Verdict on the new shoes: No good for running! But I’m going to keep them for other indoor activities like Zumba, Squash, Pilates, and home workouts. I was in the mood for more sweating, but didn’t want to damage my feet with those shoes, so I grabbed a magazine and hopped onto a stationary bike.
The Stats:
- Distance: 10 miles (16 km)
- Time: 38:00 minutes
- Average pace: 15.8 mph
- Feeling: Sweaty
After that I stretched a little and called it a day. And that’s how I celebrated Rose Monday this year.
Are you into Carnival parties?
See you!
I’m not one of those people that likes to drink. I totally rather spend my time doing something good for my body (exercising and not getting drunk).
Agreed! I feels so great waking up rested and not with a nasty hangover.
