Nope, not running yet. For now, I'm just shredding the ice. ⛸️ #iceskating #wintervibes

It's abundantly clear that the number of hours of sleep is inversely proportional to the level of happiness. But we must sleep anyway. Goodnight, my friends ✨

... and now off for a walk!

My December 13th tradition… It starts now. A ticket. A train. A city.

Lately, plays have become shorter, and movies longer... while attention spans grow more scattered.

... got 1.5 hours in Dresden, February 13, 1945, through the fates of two people who survived that day... 🎭💔

🎭 My destination is the theatre. Wishing you a magical day wherever you are! ✨ #ChristmasWindows

Joined a book club, watching The Stepford Wives, and sipping champagne while waiting for my husband to get back from the gym. Hopefully, this doesn’t turn into a Desperate Housewives sequel. P.S. I think it's time to get back to running 🙃

I 3D printed the Colosseum

Interesting profession, that of a fitness trainer or a travel guide - you pay to have someone manage you. And honestly, I don't know the stop-word. P. S. This thought occurred to me every time I mixed up their names.🙃

Very cool challenge 🤩

Complained to my husband about my low self-esteem. His advice:"Go to Japan. It's normal there." The level of understanding...is astronomical. 😂🇯🇵 Honey, buy me a ticket. Let's test your theory. #MarriageHumor #Japan

When you're an adult but still love Harry Potter...

More good news: Japan's national record - Suguru Osako.

... he had to drop out at the 28 km mark 💔

The Valencia Marathon is ON! 🏃‍♂️💨 Watching the live stream and feeling the incredible energy from Spain. The pace is insane! Who else is watching? www.valenciaciudaddelrunning.com/en/marathon/... #ValenciaMarathon

This year’s Scrooge mood is brought to me by: Bill Murray. 🎄👻💸

A lovely cashier took a second to tell me my short hair really suits me. Such a small thing, but it filled my whole day with sunshine! ☀️ Grateful for kind souls who make the world a warmer place. 🥰

Friday night, New York #NewYork #RockefellerCenter #Christmastree

I could not sleep last night and was still wide awake at 1.30am. The final super moon of the year was so bright it lit my garden up like daylight. It was worth the insomnia! Magical. 😊 #nighttime #moon #supermoon #nightsky #life #calm #peace #photography

Big day for runners in Valencia! One athlete I always root for is Dmitry Nedelin. His focus and strength are next level. Can’t wait to see him conquer the course on Sunday. Go get it! 🏁

There's a bar I pass nearly every day, hidden in plain sight. I've never been inside. And perhaps I never will. It's more perfect as a mystery ✨ - a backdrop for daydreams and stories untold. Some doors are more intriguing left unopened.

Yeah, well, who needs tomorrow when there's already good content (from my journey). Have a good evening, friends!

Thanks, friends, because the coach told me I need a psychotherapist, not a physical therapist. ... This is very offensive 😭 ... P.S. Sorry for being overly sensitive. I'm trying to improve...tomorrow 😊

Putting running on an indefinite hold.(If I post a run, ignore it 🚫). I’m frustrated - at myself, at my plan. Pushed too hard for phantom progress, and lost the daily joy. Feels like starting from scratch. The young dream of tomorrow; the wise build a good today. And I'm neither young nor wise. 😤

So many of you have already unlocked the "Christmas Tree is Up" achievement! ✨ My countdown is still about three weeks long. For now, I'm happily enjoying all the street decorations... and your cozy tree pics, of course! 🎄

Know how I’m ringing in the New Year? With a Running Start at 00:00!🏃‍♂️💥 No champagne toast this time - just me, my running shoes, and my favorite spot. This is my kind of party! Fingers crossed it all comes together!🤞

Have you already watched 100 Meters? It seems the rating is overestimated, but in any case, I enjoyed watching this anime アニメ. And I'm almost sure that Childhood was filmed in Osaka 😊

Runners! 🎵 All you need is love... 🎵 ...and maybe these emojis:

Went out for a rehab 5K, ended up running a 10K - just couldn't help myself. #RunnerProblems

A little NSFW story ahead... Yesterday I told my husband I was craving more male attention. Woke up to my vibrator charging on the nightstand. He's such a thoughtful problem-solver. 😂 #MarriageHumor

Morning, friends! 👋 My running has been a bit on pause, so no stats to share for now. Instead, I'll be treating you to some festive window displays. Hope you have a wonderful day! ❄️

I'm thankful for: - headphones - self-checkout - friends (all three of them) - netflix - the “leave at the door” delivery option - people who text instead of call - haircuts where the barber doesn't talk

The magic of Christmas in its simplest form. ✨ Just twinkling lights, a forest of trees, and all the cozy vibes. #ChristmasWindow

A game of shadows. Can you find me?

It's been so long since I saw anyone smiling on the subway. Wait, that's just my own reflection. First day back after vacation. -1℃. It's bleak and gray outside. And yet, here I am, happy. ...and check out the print on my t-shirt 🙃

Every adventure must come to an end. ✨ Time to head home.

Waterberg Plateau, Namibia. Feeling like I've stepped into the Lost World. 🦕 While the crew was chilling by the pool after the hike, I snuck in a quick hill run. Because why not add a little extra adventure? 🙃

Another beautiful place in Namibia– Spitzkoppe! So many professional photographers here... and us :) 📸

Exploring the stunning landscapes around Swakopmund today. Where the desert meets the ocean. 🌊🏜️ #Swakopmund #Namibia But not only this view ⤵️

I also have to share some pics of my friends who make every single day of this adventure so much fun.

Friends, thank you for all your kindness. For your feed, a batch of photos from my 🇳🇦 safari.

My running in Namibia 🇳🇦 This place is Spitzkoppe ⛰️

Alright guys, gonna spam you a bit more while I still have a connection! Good morning, everyone! 🇳🇦

Hi from Namibia 🇳🇦 My internet had other plans, so here's a flashback#1. Better late than never!

Yes, I did it! I finally went for a run on the other side of the equator. Don't judge my pace - this was more trailing than running. Felt like I was running uphill the entire time! But the company was epic: groundhogs, guinea fowls, hoopoes, parrots, canaries, lizards, a ton of succulents, and me 😁

24 hours in transit, and I've made it to Windhoek. 🛬 Managed to snap a few not bad pics on my way to the Spar. 😄 As my colleague perfectly put it: "The best thing about Windhoek is your hotel." But let's be real, I didn't fly all this way for the city. Hoping Namibia has some aces up its sleeve.🤞

Switching modes to 'travel blogger' for the next 14 days. ✈️ Follow along for the journey! (P.S. My running shoes are coming with me 🤞)
