I DID IT! 21.1km or 13.1 miles (I don’t speak miles 😂). United Half Marathon 2025 🏃🏃‍♀️

I can’t believe it’s over. I was so nervous, then emotional, then excited, then emotional again. Such a ride (and so many hills!). Crossing the Brooklyn Bridge was one of my favorite parts of this race - but more than that, it’s about the accomplishment and the adrenaline. I know it sounds cliche, but it feels so good to realize “I can do it!”. Also, it means a lot to run in this special city that I get to call home!

Thanks to my friends who cheered me up and celebrating with me - in NYC, in Brazil or any other part of the world. Means a lot 🥹

Thanks @runna

And that’s all I can write now 😴

Less than 48h for my first race ever - which happens to be a freaking Half Marathon. Can someone pinch me? I put my name in the lottery without thinking a lot, and I freaked out when I was selected. Three and a half months later, here I am! READY! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

So excited to cross the Brooklyn Bridge and run through Times Square - they only close it to traffic twice a year - for this race and for New Year’s Eve!

Please say hi if you see me 🥹

MY FIRST HALF-MARATHON IS A WEEK AWAY 🏃‍♀️

I can’t believe! I put my name in the lottery and I thought: let’s allow the universe to decide. It was right after the NYC Marathon, and I guess I was inspired my my friends who had ran half and full marathons.

I’ve been training for 3 months and the cold weather scared me at first, but I think I nailed the perfect outfit for my long outdoor runs. I decided to share this video to inspire anyone who has been thinking about running but is scared of the weather.

Check my stories for the links - or see my “Fitness” highlights.

Except for the days I include an extra long sleeve layer, this was my go-to outfit:

🏃‍♀️Compression leggings that stay in place and feature a lot of pockets.

🏃‍♀️Thermal layer + windbreak jacket to keep me warm.

🏃‍♀️Running shoes - I alternated between Hoka Bondi 8 and Nike Vaporfly 3

🏃‍♀️Running socks to prevent blisters - didn’t know, but this is so important!

🏃‍♀️Lightweight sunglasses for the sunny days.

🏃‍♀️Headband to keep my ears warm

🏃‍♀️Gloves with touchscreen feature

And the @runna app! I followed their plan and that kept me consistent - didn’t skip any of the sessions - and I’m amazed by how good is this app. It creates personalized plans based on your preferences and availability -and it gives you cues while you are running, so you can adjust your pace accordingly. I was able to improve my pace since I started! Use my code LAURAP and try it 2 weeks for free!

10 WINTER OUTFITS - last outfit of these series!

10 WINTER OUTFITS - last outfit of these series!

I had so much fun creating these outfits and experimenting different concepts. Like this one, layering a coat with a blazer. And I love the result! So chic and sophisticated!

I really hope these ideas can inspire you to be more creative when styling your winter outfits - especially now that the weather will be (hopefully) better - but not yet super warm.

As always, check my stories or my “Fashion” highlights to shop these or similar items.

10 WINTER OUTFITS - basic with a twist!

This sweater vest was one of the best purchases I’ve made this winter. I love how it is versatile - and it’s an item I can use as a layer or as it is, with a long sleeve top or shirt underneath! Perfect for Spring too!

Black and white is a classic - and I really love how you can add some twist with texture (like the faux fur coat) and silhouettes (like the wide-leg pants).
