This month I continued my training. It was different from the other months, since I started sparring with a mouth guard, which means that hits to the head became allowed.

Volunteering at the animal shelter “Tautmilė”
This month I had plans to volunteer at an animal shelter. I set out to do this because I think that the animal shelters need all the help they can receive due to the overwhelming amounts of stray dogs that they take in.

I joined a gym and started running … Continue reading Participating in the Danske Bank Vilnius Marathon 2018 3km run
