I never knew marathon training could be this fun (or maybe I did 🤔).
We enjoyed a 7 km run with mile in the morning, and we were lucky to have a beautiful sunny day after a whole week of rain. We all wore pink to support the Outubro Rosa initiative.

Later in the evening, we squeezed in another 6 km on our way to our usual beach volleyball game.
Everyone was so happy to finally have dry weather that we played for 3 hours, with the score going up to 40! 😂
We ended the day with pizza, because, as they say, carb-loading is totally part of training, right? 😄

🇵🇹 Português:
Nunca pensei que treinar para a maratona pudesse ser tão divertido (ou se talvez já desconfiava 🤔)
De manhã fizemos uma corrida de 7 km com a Intermile e tivemos a sorte de ter um dia lindo de sol depois de uma semana inteira de chuva. Estávamos todos de rosa para apoiar a iniciativa do Outubro Rosa.

Mais tarde, ao fim do dia, ainda conseguimos encaixar mais 6 km a caminho do nosso jogo habitual de volei de praia.
Todos estavam felizes por finalmente termos tempo seco que acabamos jogando por 3 horas, com o resultado até 40! 😂
E claro, fechamos o dia com pizza, porque, como se costuma dizer, o carregamento de carbos faz parte do treino, não é? 😄🍕

I may regret it later, but right now, it feels like the night before Christmas 😂

Good luck tomorrow to all our friends at 💗 😬

My 16 Weeks of Hell Challenge was officially completed on 06/10, 112 days since I started this journey.

But… today I’m counting Day 107 because I still have a few gym sessions left to make up. Life got busy, things came up, and there were days I simply couldn’t fit it all in. Instead of skipping them, I decided to push those sessions forward and finish what I started, fully.

So yes, I’ve completed 112 days of strict nutrition, power walks, and occasional runs. That part is done, but because I missed a few gym days, I still owe myself five more sessions before I can truly say I’ve completed the entire program.

My coach says I don’t need to, that I’ve done enough, but I want to.
Because for me, this isn’t about ticking boxes. It’s about keeping the promises I make to myself.

So I’m going all the way.
Almost there 💪🔥

I’m equally proud and sore 😂

When my friend told me she was doing a challenge, I said ok I’ll come with you, and only then I realised it was an ultra challenge 😬 It’s too late to turn back, and to be honest I don’t need much persuasion for these types of adventures 😁
With only a few days to go, I’m already very excited about the 100km we will walk together through the beautiful Peak District nature, but now I’m just hoping that the rain will stop and that our summer comes back for the weekend 😂

When somebody asks where I spend all my money 🫣😅💗💗

Now it makes sense! 🤔😂

How inspiring is this?! I absolutely love it! That’s the raw truth: you first win in the mind, and the rest will follow. Age is not an excuse!

Diane Friedman, 103-year-old runner🏃‍♀️

Diane started running at 70 years old!

Her friends made fun of her, telling her that she was too old to play sports!

But since Diane didn't pay attention to them, she continued training until she broke a few world records in the Senior Olympic Games in the 100-104-year-old age group!

100 meters - 36.71 seconds👏
200 meters - 1 minute and 29.78 seconds👏

She is great! Huge respect❤

Hi family and friends,

I'm excited to announce that after a year of hard work, my new business is almost ready to launch. Despite encountering many challenges and having to change direction multiple times, the end goal remained unchanged. Now, I'm thrilled to say that we're in the final stages.

While I still have a lot to learn and implement from my courses, this part of the business will soon be live and running. Perfection isn't expected just yet, but I'm open to feedback and eager to learn from customer experiences until it's just right.

This aspect of the business revolves around mindful movement. As many of you know, I've faced some serious health scares over the years. Through the ups and downs, I've managed to stay positive and lead a healthy, happy life, thanks to mindful movement. It's empowered me to live life on my terms, staying active and safeguarding my energy by filtering what enters my personal space.

The key change that enabled this transformation was a shift in mindset. Now, I want to share simple techniques with others who've faced their own battles. These techniques, inspired by the works of Earl Nightingale, Jim Rohn, Napoleon Hill, Rumi, and others, have been around for ages. They're easy to follow and can be practiced at your own pace.

If you're interested in learning more or curious about what I've been up to, click the link in my bio to join the mailing list for updates and notification of the big launch (big for me, at least!). I understand if you prefer not to see business-related posts on my socials.

Thank you all for your support and patience. I know I haven't been very sociable over the past few years while recovering, studying, and building my business, all while juggling family life. Your understanding means the world to me.

Andrea
