I'm in summer school doing two science courses in a crashing 6 weeks pace. So for me the days have been flying. There are not enough hours to get everything done! Eat. Work. Sleep . Repeat But no matter how busy the days are, getting my run in is still a priority. It's how I hold it all together. Long runs are my brain storming sessions. Shuttle sprints + hills are my "venting" and releasing all negative energies sessions. So you see? I HAVE TO RUN Speaking of running, am glad to announce that am going to be one of the new black girls run- Boston ambassadors. I'm so honoured to have been selected for this role. I look forward to learning, sharing and growing with all my fellow ladies who run not just in Boston but nation wide. I remember blogging about the organisation in 2013 . It's amazing what can happen in a year! As with last year, BGR is having its 3rd annual race and conference weekend in At...

I'm not sure if he should be given the award for most passionate player or most irresponsible player of this world cup. Image from the guardian Or may be the second award should go to both the fifa regulations committee and the Uruguay coaching staff. How do you allow a player to keep playing after he has been knocked out unconscious?! How many players have died from sudden death syndrome and etc? What's the point of having a sports medicine staff on the team? Regardless of how Periera felt about his ability to keep playing, the coach should have pulled him off the field. The Fifa referee should have kept him off the field. The Fifa officials who were present in the game should have made sure the Uruguay management team kept him off the field until he received proper medical attention. I can't even imagine the horror if things would have gone down hill after he continued playing. That was a big irresp...

I  can't believe we are already half way through the year! How are those new year resolutions coming along? see my new year post here Today was my "off" day and one of the things I did was revisit my 2014 resolutions to check off, edit and add on to the list. Lists and deadlines help put your goals into perspective. They also provide a clear way to evaluate progress and rate your  performance. Here is what I have been up to outside of school and work .  This definitely ranks as one of my busiest summers. Soccer Its world cup fever time. Am trying to catch as many games as possible. So far am very impressed with the south american teams. It seems they have no intentions of letting the cup leave the region. On my end, I joined a summer women's soccer league and its been fun reliving my college glory days. Food : If you follow me on instagram, you'll remember me talking about doing protein pancakes..... ...... weeks ago   ( ¯\_(ツ)_...

Guest Feature sport is a series in which I interview friends and acquaintances who participates in sports that I don't. I talk a lot about soccer, running and yoga on this blog but there are many other activities that are equally interesting. The goal  of this series is for all of us to learn from them and maybe get inspired to try something new.  _______________________________________________ 1.  How did you get introduced to Crossfit? It was September 2011, I was a 260lbs sedentary 24 y/o female in physical therapy school. Some of my classmates in PT school had seen the ads for Crossfit elements (introductory classes) at the box (Crossfit lingo for a Crossfit gym) in our community.   Two of my closest friends tried it out. One loved it and the other, not so much. The one who loved it kept going and she told me how much fun it was. She said: “it’s a full body workout, and you go at your own pace.” She said she would give me the ...
