Ever since I can remember, I’ve hated running. I was just always so terrible at it. But the thing is, I hate being terrible at things because I strongly believe that one can achieve anything they put their minds to. So one of my goals for 2016 was to run a full mile without breaks, something that, embarrassingly enough, I was never able to do. In July, I started working towards my goal, and I’m so happy to say that I was able to achieve a few backs, and have long surpassed it. While this may seem like nothing, to me, it was a huge personal victory because it confirmed the fact that I am indeed capable of anything I work towards. I’ve now set a new goal for myself – to run 3 miles, so wish me luck!
Are there any personal victories that you’re particularly proud of?
This outfit is gorgeous! You are so pretty Siffat. Well done on your running goals.

Congrats on your running goals! I have never liked it either and don’t think I could run a full mile. This is one of my favorite looks of yours!! I am just loving the all black in the chic way you’ve done it.

Haha this is actually funny, my blog post that’s going live tomorrow is about the same thing. Great minds must think alike. I actually attempted to achieve my victory of running at the latest Sport Chek Chase the gear event, although I failed I will continue to try.
I am proud of you for doing this, maybe when your home we should go for a jog

I completely agree with what you wrote, you can do anything if you work hard enough! Congratulations on your achievement, and good luck with the 3 miles! I started the same way, first I could only run one mile, and now after a year of training I run 5-6 miles 4-5 times a week. Achieving your goals, no matter how small they may seem, is always a wonderful feeling! I adore this outfit, I’ve been obsessed with black recently and you look stunning! All of these photos are beautiful! Have a great day!

Gorgeous look here Siffat. Love your watch as well. I think being excited about little victories is something we all should do. My goal is to workout a little bit everyday in some way, instead of a few times a week, even if it’s only thirty minutes. /Madison

You look so incredibly chic (as always) girl! I love the all black with the pop of red and the black details are so lovely, creating such nice interest to the overall look. I know what you mean, I used to hate running, too, but it can really be a great outlet to receive stress and enhance your mood! I’m glad you’re making strides to meet your goals, girlie! Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you have a great week ahead!

I use to be a runner, but then puberty and the internet happened! Haha!I do want to exercise regularly, perhaps walk more and do a few push-ups. Though I said that last year, and nothing happened hahaha! Love the all-black outfit! You look amazing <3

Congrats!! I’ve been trying to do more physical activity for a while, and have been playing soccer with a team for the past 3 weeks. Totally exhausting, but so much fun!

Congratulations on achieving your running goals and Good Luck with your 3 mile goal. I used to run regularly but have not been so active lately! I was planning to start running again and you have given me the extra motivation I needed!
On another note, I absolutely love this outfit! I think it is one of my favourites so far!
