Gym Workout.


GYM WORKOUT TIME: This morning was one of those morning where I really felt like having some alone time and of course I ended up in the gym, I don't usually go to this gym which i'm not going to mention the name but I just wanted to get a workout in so I thought why not! I spent approx an hour on the treadmill, which I hate, because it makes me dizzy and it never ends - MUCH prefer running outside but not in this heat. IT WAS 52*C the other by the way!!!!!
Anyways, then after the treadmill, I did 30 mins of different things such as arms and back exercises and of course lifted a few weights.
I love the gym, it makes me feel so much better after such a simple workout.

Happy Hour At My Favorite Bar


HIIT, MY FAV: I know this post is a bit random in the sense that, I usually post before or after my workout but I'm currently looking for a new gym to attend, because mine was actually changed and they don't do cross fit anymore or actually any HIIT. So I'm thinking of just trying out a few of them and then deciding which one I should get a membership at. It's a tough decision, in Dubai there's some sort of gym in every corner.
Let me know if you have any suggestions!

Because Running Makes Me Happy


RUN, LIKE YOU STOLE SOMETHING: So since last year October, my passion for running re-grew on me. It was that weekend...the day before Rihanna's concert was when I realised I wanted to start running again. We came back to Dubai on the Sunday afternoon and I told myself I was going running tomorrow morning sooooo the next morning, on Monday 21st October I got up at 5:30am, did some stretching, got my iPod ready and went for my run. I wasn't looking at the time, or the kilometres I was doing but the fact that I got up from the super-duper-comfy bed I own and went for my morning run....and I tell ya, it felt AMAZING. Seriously, if you don't run, or you've never tried...theres a big chance you won't believe me. You should definitely try it. One day just tell yourself you'll wake up and go for a run, don't focus on time or distance but only the fact of getting up and going.
After that day, I use to go 3 to 5 times a week...
Here in Dubai, I like going in "winter" of course...because in the month from October onwards, you can actually breath when you're outdoors. From then on, i fall in love with running more and more every time. In Summer time, it is literally disgusting weather, the other day, i got ready for my run at night, I went outdoors for 120 seconds and I was MELTING. I still went, just because running makes me happy, smile and it clears my mind!  
Hope you guys try it out, at least once....if you don't like it...email me! haha I would REALLY like to know one person who "regretted" a run. I think that is seriously something impossible.
Here are a few of my best runs, and remember...I don't run for distance or time...I run because running makes me happy.
Best way to think it, if you want to run faster.
An old man chasing you, a hot guy at the finish line.
HAPPY RUNNING

Nike Running App


iPHONES & NIKE: iPhones are amazing, there's an app for everything! Since I love running and working out, one of the apps I love the most are Nike Running. 
I simply adore how with this app, you can track your run, it will even tell you the pace, the time, the kilometers for your run. You can then add a photo and share if with your social networks and so on.

My Workouts Continue


EVERY DAMN DAY: I've been training less these days as I'm super busy and tired from Uni work, projects, meetings and studying for my final exams. Nevertheless, working out is important, it's super important to keep fit and make time for even a short workout every single day! 
As soon as my final exams are over, I'll be filling up more time for my runs and workouts in the morning and in the evening which I'm really excited about.
May is a hectic month as so much is happening both on the blog, some secret activities I'll talk to you about soon, Justin TImberlake concert in Abu Dhabi, and then packing for my summer trip which I also need to speak to you about soon!
Wishing you an amazing day! 
Get your running shoes on and just GO! 


Night Run At The Beach



NIGHT RUN: Happy happy happy! The other night, I wanted to do something different for a change just because sometimes you need it and it feels good not always doing the same thing. So, I took myself forward, drove to the beach and went for a night run at the beach, which was absolutely beautiful, so relaxing running listening to the sound of the water and in the other ear listening to the background music coming from your ipod.
A night run, a cold shower when I got home & then went out with friends.... a perfect Thursday night!
i loved it! I need to go again! Maybe i'll go tonight aswell!
Enjoy your day guys! :)

Early Morning Run


SO FREAKIN EARLY: It's like 5am, I have absolutely no idea why I'm awake at the moment, just am! I'm going to go for a quick morning run and then maybe I'll do my new workouts from the new list, then shower and then I have to go get ready for today and finish all of the remaining work. Running and working out is not an option for me, it clears my mind and I sometimes feel "weird" if I don't workout. I think I just love it too much!
Anyways I'm off now - c ya!
Talk soon with a new post!
