Urban Cycling Trips

If you don’t know me yet, my name is Ana. I live in Lima, Peru and one of my favorite hobbies is to ride bicycles. I used to race in MTB as well as BMX competitions. Thus, I decided to monetize this hobby offering my services on a bike: 
  • Life coaching for women who need to feel empowered.
  • Cycling classes for beginners.
  • Short trips for people who want to have fun.
  • English/Spanish conversation for people who is learning any of these languages.

Cycling in Lima

This summer I'm turning back to sports. Despite of many bad experiences I left them a long time. Now I restart my summer cycling, running, swimming and playing basketball (my first game of the year is this wednesday). I'm also looking for boxing academies so I promise to take photos when I find one. But this post is about cycling . From my experience I think the safe route and the more panoramic view is going over the sea by the Costa Verde or by the waterfront until chorrillos, exactely stopping in Agua Dulce and turning back because the place is kind of dangerous (too much traffic and bad-faces people). Although is ok if you are in group. In this route you will see the amazing sundown, the beach, the Maria Reiche park wich is like a hidden treassure and many people making sports so you won't feel alone. I took some photos of the skate park in San Isidro but I just could rescue one =( . There's also a circuit for bikes. Next time I'll take photos of the park and the sunset. I'll show you in my next post.

Parque Castilla - Running park in Lince

Today I was in Lince and I posted some things about that in my previous post. I also told you before that I love running so I like to proove different routes to run. In fact, in this post I'm going to tell you about a large green park in Cesar Vallejo Avenue toward the Santos Dumont's park. This parks is named Parque Castilla and by me is a running park. You know  that to run is better to do it in a place there are a lot of trees so that you can breath pure air and your lungs will thank you....sooooo I found this point as an alternative to change my running routes. The area is safe. In the morning there are many people running there, at the afternoon I have seen very few people but the area is still safe, at the evening don't pick this park it's kind of dark and I don't know if it's safe but you know what the grandmom says: never go to dark an lonely places. If you want to run at night better choose Miraflores. Once, I run at 12:00 am with one friend a big part of the Costa Verde. I must admit it was frightening so imagine my adrenaline, of course I was stoned.

Photos taken by me:

Me and Sports

Let me introduce you a brief story about my "sports biography". Since I was a child I've loved so much sports, more doing than watching'em on TV. Then at 14 years old I started going to the gym, I developed a passion for gyms and training so I almost know every good gym in Lima, at least until the last 4 years aprox. Why I left? I'll tell you later. I also love to eat so there've always been a dilemma because I stopped training and I started gaining weight. At the gym I learned that running outdoor is healthier so I saw it like a way to exercise when I didn't pay my membership at the gym. I also love swimming and DO love basketball. Then my activities allways oscilate between running, swiming, playing basketball or training at the gym. You must think I'm a super model, but not, I'm too irresponsaible with my health to be sporty . 

The sad part of the story is that at 23 I got my knees broken because "too much exercise" the doctor said. I got operated and then I was suppossed to return to the gym in a month but was bullshit I still felt pain in my knees then I got my knees infiltrated to calm the pain but I had to stopp exercising and playing basketball like a year. When I returned to the gym the rhythm I was forced to train was so boring, I felt frustrated, helpless and sad. The I started swimming often to rehab my knees and I discovered It was a fasctinating world. I used to swim at night and met very nice people in the pool. Isn't cool to meet people in the water?

At my 25's I started training hard at the gym, running and swimming at the same time and that's why my upper arms are strong but then I started a new job and I didn't have time to go the gym. I also was moody because an stupid relationship with an asshole. With the stress of the new job and that guy I didn't want to do anything else. Now, at my current age which is 27 I'm back on sports and I'll show you a way to have fun and stay in shape at the same time. This weekend I'll take photos and post more about it. It's never late to do sports, I hope I persuade you some way.

Please wait  for my new posts ;-)
