The hilly side of my road

My goodness sometimes I wonder if I am cut out for blogging. Some people are really good at writing and keeping their fans updated. I'm not too sure anybody reads my blog and I am not a very loyal writer either. So if you are one of my very rare fans than I am truely sorry. Sorry for not being a loyal writer and very sorry for my spelling mistakes I most certainly make. You just have to make due with the spare and rare moments I do get some quiet time to actually update my blog and hopefully you will forgive me my sometimes stinky English. Just remember I am not a native.

I am still trying to find sponsors for ZZF so if you do want to contribute and if you'd like to learn more about ZZF than please click right here and help me raise just another 80 euro's. It will make all the difference for people suffering from a rare disease.

So...how is running? Check todays run right here Well it's like a hill. Some mornings you wake up and the hill turned into a mountain blocking the sunlight. Other days the hill shriveled up to the size of a molehill. But no matter the size of the hill everytime you reach the top and see the world around the hill it is a victory. No matter how big or small. The past two weeks have been a total roller coaster at home but in a twisted way it gave me even more motivation to run. My mom had to go to the hospital for a horrible surgery this is why and next to the fact that it scared the bejesus out of the entire family it somehow gave me the strength to go out there and run. If she is that strong to do this surgery than I can most definately run a 10 mile run. And so I ran with my new soles and today with some weird toe brace my orthopedic man crafted for me. Thought I was doing well until I took of my shoes and saw this:

Horrible right? Okay so I'm doing well on my training for the Damloop but I have to really not miss anymore training sessions. I only have about 29 days left and I still have to pass the 14km training but I will get there. No matter what. I decided to run at anywhere between 6.30 and 7 minutes per kilometer so that isn't fast at all (it's very slow) but I want to finish those 10 miles and that is all that counts. The one thing I still haven't done yet either is eat during a run. Who can give some good advice on what to eat (no arteficial sweetened stuff please!) and when? Would be nice to hear from you guys.

As always until we read again, Love Marlies

The will to succeed....

Hi y'all, The world is filled with wishes, dreams, hopes and fears and I'm happy this tiny orb has all of m and yet that longing, that need, that hope for things to happen or maybe even the fear for them won't ever make anything happen. A dream alone will get you through a dark time but it won't make the night go away. Hope for better times will provide you with some sort of elastic band that might stretch a little further but it won't get you over that gap. A wish is nothing more than a whisper over candle light or a shooting star blasted into a universe that knows no sound and fears are the seeimingly unbreakable ties your mind has you wrapped in. The world won't give you anything, the universe can't hear you. People might and hopefully your mind will. Did you ever experience the absolute need to do something, no doubts nor fears about weather or not you're able to? That is exactly how I felt the first time I started training for a marathon. I wanted

Playing roulette with your emotions

Hi y'all After being part of the amazing Dam-tot-Damloop and having so much fun I am confident I can actually pull off the distance in San Francisco. The hills I'm a little nervous about but I'm doing everything within my options to get stronger so my legs will be able to carry me up and down the hills without losing too much time. This means I started seeing a physical therapist and I'm working on core stability and strength too about three times a week. I do have some breaking news  but I can't share it yet because not all details are clear. As soon as they are I promise y'all a memorable update. As for now....I have been training for the hills in San Francisco. How? Well....last Sunday my love set out a race course over 7 kilometers that included two pretty steep bridges: Amsterdamse brug and Schellingwoudebrug. Just a few pictures that Sander de Boer made for you to enjoy. Thank you Sander for being there all the way. I love you! At the base of the

I will run the Damloop 2013 for ZZF

To my dear Dutch donating friends and all other readers, A new blog. It has been a while since I blogged about anything so why start now? I am fortunate enough to be one of many runners of the famous Dutch Damloop and I've taken on this 10 mile run as fundraiser for a very good cause. They're called Stichting Zeldzame Ziekten Fonds This organisations' main goal is to raise money for research on rare diseases such as Kawasaki's disease and Neuralgic Amyotrophie. Why this organisation when there are so many others? Well that is easy: Since little is known about those rare diseases research needs to be done. As we all know research is expansive and since everybody has to make budget cuts the research on these rare diseases is likely to be put on hold. But did you know in Holland most patients of a rare disease are children? And did you know that most rare diseases are life threatning or leave you (severely) impared? Did you know that in Holland 30% of the children s
