Autumn here, Pilares there... | My Actifit Report Card: October 9 2024 [Eng][Esp]
Still the weird days. This morning I left home very early to walk to the gym, more than pre-workout, it helps me to wake up well, but just as I was leaving I felt tiny drops falling on me. It was a very light drizzle, nothing so alarming that I had to go back to get an umbrella, and I don't know where I left it either. At least I took one of those sweaters with a hood, because it was also a bit windy and therefore cold.
The nice thing was to find that the light rain enlivened some colors of this dead nature that autumn has left us. It had washed the dry leaves on the ground and watered the grass, creating that nice contrast of brown and vivid green that I like so much. I also saw other autumn hues, yellows and reds, all beautiful to me in the early morning.
I was almost late for training because I was so entertained taking pictures, this is just a small sample of what I saw, let's just say these are the images I felt most connected to while I was taking the shots. Oh if only someone would give me macro lenses haha.
Siguen los d铆as raros. Esta ma帽ana sal铆 muy temprano de casa para ir caminando hasta el gym, m谩s que pre-workout, me ayuda a despertarme bien., pero Justo al salir sent铆 las peque帽as gotas que ca铆an sobre mi. Era una llovizna muy leve, nada tan alarmante como para regresarme a buscar un paraguas, que adem谩s tampoco s茅 d贸nde lo he dejado. Al menos me lleve un sweater de esos con capucha, porque tambi茅n hab铆a algo de viento y, por tanto, fr铆o.
Lo bonito fue encontrar que esa ligera lluvia aviv贸 algunos colores de esta naturaleza muerta que nos deja el oto帽o. Hab铆a lavado las hojas secas en el suelo y regado la grama, creando ese bonito contraste de marr贸n y verde vivo que tanto me gusta. Tambi茅n vi otros matices oto帽ales, amarillos y rojos, todos hermosos para m铆 a primera hora de la ma帽ana.
Por poco llego tarde al entrenamiento por entretenerme haciendo fotos, esto es s贸lo una peque帽a muestra de lo que vi, digamos que son la im谩genes con las que m谩s me sent铆 conectada mientras hac铆a las tomas. Uy quien me diera un lente macro jajaja.
All that romanticism stayed outside the gym, because what I thought would be a light mid-week workout, turned out to be an endurance plot to measure my capabilities after the summer . Gotta keep working on it 馃ぃ.
Today I spent half my life during that endless hour.
After the routine warm-up and ab basics, came a set of six exercises in a row with no rest, including some cardio that is quite exhausting, for which once completed, a minute and a half rest was due. I saw it easy, because last week I had a set of 10 exercises in a row that I was able to complete, although it left me destroyed.
However this was no easier for me than last week's, after the second round we had to adjust the kettelbell weight from 8k to a 7k dumbbell because otherwise I wasn't going to be able to do the last set of overhead press. I felt like my arms were fainting xD but I think my trainer was happy. She is tough! 馃ぃ
Todo ese romanticismo se qued贸 fuera del gimnasio, porque lo que pensaba yo que ser铆a un entreno ligerto de mitad de semana, result贸 ser una trama de resistencia para medir mis capacidades despu茅s del verano . Hay que seguir trabajando en ello 馃ぃ
Hoy se me fue media vida durante esa interminable hora.
Despu茅s del rutinario calentamiento y b谩sicos de abdomen, ven铆a un set de seis ejercicios seguidos sin descanso, incluyendo alguno de cardio que agotan bastante, para el que una vez completado, correspond铆a un descanso de minuto y medio. Yo lo vi f谩cil, porque la semana pasada tuve un set de 10 ejercicios seguidos que pude completar, aunque me dejaron destruida.
Sin embargo esto no me result贸 m谩s f谩cil que el de la semana pasada, despu茅s de la segunda vuelta tuvimos que ajustar el peso de kettelbell de 8k a una mancuerna de 7k porque sino, no iba a poder hacer la 煤ltima serie de press vertical. Sent铆 que mis brazos se desmayaban xD pero creo que mi entrenadora estaba contenta.

I said that weird days continued, because as I went for a walk this afternoon, I took a good look out all the windows to make sure how to put on my clothes. The sun was shining and the blue sky was full of white clouds. Just white. But it lasted 20 minutes or so, super dark clouds appeared and the light was scarce, I thought it would be difficult to take any more autumn pictures that were even close to the morning ones, so I went in search of some sign of festivity around the city, because so far I hadn't gone very close to the historic center, where almost everything happens.
However I ended up detouring a bit and found the sun again and straight ahead, very radiant No doubt crazy days.
But I also got the festive display I was looking for, watching the Narria cervecera, the historic Ambar Breweries wagon passing by, driving people around in the good style of their special 1900 beer. Enough said, let the party begin!
The entertainment and detour took me to a place I love, the bakery Le petit croissant where I was sure I would get something special in commemoration of the fiestas del Pilar. I won't go into too much detail, but we got croissanes baturros, decorated in the popular style of red and black and filled with pistachio and hazelnut Praline. Wonderful.
I think I've earned it today, so for all of you who feel like celebrating Happy Fiestas del Pilar!
By the way, on my way back home it got cloudy again...
Dec铆a que segu铆an los d铆as raros, porque al momento de salir a caminar esta tarde, mir茅 muy bien por todas las ventanas para asegurarme de como salir vestida. Hacia un sol radiante y el cielo azul estaba lleno de nubes blancas. Solo blancas. Pero dur贸 20 minutos si acaso, aparecieran n nubes s煤per oscuras y la luz era escasa, pens茅 que ser铆a dif铆cil tomar alguna foto oto帽al m谩s que estuviese a la altura de las de la ma帽ana, as铆 que fui en b煤squeda de alg煤n signo de festividad por la ciudad, porque hasta ahora no me hab铆a acercado mucho al casco hist贸rico, donde pasa casi todo.
Sin embargo termin茅 desvi谩ndome un poco y volv铆 a encontrar el sol y de frente, muy radiante Sin dudas d铆as locos.
Pero tambi茅n consegu铆 esa muestra de festividad que buscaba, viendo pasar a la Narria cervecera, la hist贸rica carreta de cervecer铆as Ambar paseando a la gente al buen estilo de su cerveza especial 1900. Ya est谩 dicho 隆qu茅 comience la fiesta!
El espect谩culo y el desv铆o me llevaron a un lugar que me encanta, la panader铆a Le petit croissant en donde estaba segura de que conseguir铆a algo especial en conmemoraci贸n de las fiestas del Pilar. No voy a entrar en demasiados detalles, pero tenemos croissanes baturros, decorados al estilo popular de rojo y negro y rellenos con Pralin茅 de pistacho y avellanas. Maravilla.
Yo creo que me lo he ganado hoy, as铆 que para todos los que se sientan con 谩nimos de celebrar 隆Felices Fiestas del Pilar!
Por cierto, de regreso a casa volvi贸 a nublarse todo...
Thanks for dropping by!
