Toe talk

Goodmorning guys,

Just a short update concerning 'the toe' and a few links. I am happy to report that my toe is actually healing quite well. A lot better than the last time they cut off the nail in December. It is still a bit sore but is doesn't bleed like crazy anymore and I have taken off the bandages. I can stand on my foot and walk around. I haven't worn shoes yet but will try that later on today and I am positive about being back in training by monday. So that is really good news right?

for my Dutch readers I have a link I wanted to share with you guys. If you have been thinking about running or living a more healthy life but you haven't had the strength to get started on your own than you might want to check out this TV program: operatieNLfit Please remember I'm not getting paid or anything to promote this show but I think it is a great opportunity for everybody. I will follow this show as it runs.

It has been a while since I have specifically mentioned why I ventured on this journey called Damloop and after that half marathon of Amsterdam. I run for ZZF. It is an organisation that funds research on rare diseases such as Neuralgic Amyotrophy. This rare disease hits children onder the age of five more frequently than it hits adults but since I have been through two attacks of it I can tell you that the pain is overwhelmingly intens and nearly unbearable. I asked my own husband to put a pillow on my face because I just didn't want to feel the pain anymore. Now imagine it is your child suffering that kind of pain and after that the consequences of the dead nerves in her neck like not being able to lift your own arms anymore. It is a rare disease and therefore easily dismissed by doctors that literally ignore you and tell you it is just a muscle ache. If we want to know more about this disease we have to get money for research. It has been a while since the last donation and I really do want to get to my 300euro goal. It is only 80 more euro's and every single donation no matter how big or small is welcome. So please help me and ZZF to fight rare diseases and donate RIGHT HERE

As always until we read again

Love Marlies

Doing good feels good

Hi y'all Another week has come and gone and today I wanna share a story with y'all about sharing, doing good and feeling good. For me running is as much a sport I share as it is a solo experience. Now for those following me around you guys know that about me. For those that are just getting to know me: trust me there is no sport out there that in solitary makes you feel like you're part of a group. Just one of the levels of duality in runnning. You are the one doing it but by sharing your run with others, be that virtual or in real life, you will meet the most welcoming, the most supportive group of people ever. I have tried and lived through many sports but only in running did I find likeminded people that set out to better themselves and cheer on others along the way. Only in running have I found people that truely want to see you succeed and only in running have I picked up runners on the brink of giving up and have I been picked up when I was about to give it up altog...

The magic of numbers

Hi Y'all, "Anything in life can be measured" someone once told me. I think it was a mathmatician who said it and probably the love of my life since he is one. At that time I didn't think much of it but lately that quote keeps popping up in my head. You know the thing is I am once again completely mesmerized by my second love which is running. I am completely in it's grips and I surrendered to it like cookie monster would to cookies. Right now all I can think of and all I really want to do is run my own runs, go to classes on running, talk to other runners about running and coach other runners. There is nothing else I seriously want to do. I can't read anything unless it's running related and the only thing I feel good doing when I'm not running, coaching or preparing classes is lying on my couch watching Netflix wondering where and when to plan and plot and scheme our next vacation that most definately should include a run or stunning nature so I c...

Breaking taboos: The five stages of Runner's trots

Hi y'all After yet another week of teaching and dealing with normal life it seems to become a little easier to combine it all. I wrap my running schedule around my commuter distances to work and that helps. If I'm not running than I'm riding my bicycle to and from work. It's about an 11 or 13 km bike ride depending on the route I take. So switching biking to work for running back makes up for the 11km on Thursday. Now the title of this blog should be warning enough. So if you do not enjoy the dirty parts of running than by all means...STOP READING RIGHT NOW AND GO ABOUT YOUR NORMAL BUSINESS!! Good for you. Even after a fair warning you have decided to stick with me and read on. As you are well aware of I'm running for MLDS (CLICK HERE TO DONATE) a foundation that fights to create funding to help people with stomach/liver/bowel issues. Now after the past few weeks I figured let's see what is happening to me on those 8km-something-runs when I am in dire need of...
