Training For A 10km Run

 As part of my training for a 10 km run, I completed a 7.57 km run along the Gelos ežeras route. This run felt especially rewarding because it showed clear progress toward my goal. The distance was challenging, but the route itself made the experience very enjoyable - running next to the lake helped me stay motivated and focused throughout.

Physically, the run pushed my endurance and required me to pace myself carefully. Mentally, it reminded me how important consistency and patience are when training for longer distances. Even when I felt tired toward the end, I was proud that I managed to finish strong and stay committed to my plan. This experience reinforced the value of setting long-term goals and working toward them step by step. Each run builds confidence and brings me closer to completing the full 10 km distance.

I set a challenge for myself to walk over 100,000 steps within four days, and I happened to be in Athens during that time. That made it a perfect opportunity to get to know the city! Every step passed me by either the beauty of a historic site or charming streets that I loved discovering along with little cafes and shops. That turned what had initially been a focus on the counting of my steps into an exploration process.

It taught me that challenges can indeed be a lot of fun in case one enjoys the process. I helped not just my school, but also managed to have amazing memories in Athens. It reminded me that sometimes, the best experiences come from stepping out of your comfort zone. Outcome 4: Show...

Visiting (walking to) Multiple Parks in Vilnius: Šeškinės Ozo Park, the Japanese Park and Ozas Park

Last wednesday I took advantage of the nice weather and went on a long walk, visiting multiple parks in Vilnius: Šeškinės Ozo Park, the Japanese Park, and Ozas Park. In total, I walked about 14 km. It was both a physical activity and a way to spend time outdoors appreciating nature and different green spaces in the city. The walk was a good reminder of how enjoyable it can be to combine exercise with exploration. Covering such a distance required stamina and motivation to keep going, and planning a longer route through several parks challenged me to pace myself and stay consistent. Overall, this activity felt refreshing and rewarding. It allowed me to notice details about Vilnius that I usually overlook when moving quickly from place to place.

On this Wednesday, my classmate Liepa and I cycled the 15 km “Žalieji ežerai” route together.  The distance tested my stamina a bit and focus, especially on some of the hills and uneven parts. Riding with a friend made the challenge easier to handle. We kept each other motivated and stayed committed to finishing the whole route.  Having support made the ride more enjoyable and helped me push through moments of fatigue. It reminded me how cycling with others can build motivation and make workouts more fun. I’m looking forward to more rides like this to improve my endurance and enjoy time outdoors.
