Training for the 10 miles of Antwerp

Hi there,

It has been a while since I blogged about my running adventures. Not writing about them does by far not equal not running anymore. I did finish my half marathon in 2:17:00 hrs and I felt incredibly proud.I still can't believe I actually did it. And after this half marathon I just kept going. Had to take it back a nodge after a major crash on an indoor slope that made my knee move sideways the way it isn't designed to do but...I did run a few runs and I'm still going strong. Here are some pictures just to give you a little impression of my runs (not in chronological order):

So I guess you could say that I did keep busy. The question than becomes: why start blogging again? No I do not want you to sponsor my next run, so take a breath I will not be begging you for money. I do however really love running and I want to share my runs because it gives me strength, motivation and endurance to get going and run. Just the mere thought to know that you guys are out there and hopefully enjoy my adventures along side of me. So it is onward to my next new adventure: running the 10 mile Antwerp's run on april 27th. It will be hard, I will have to really train my ass off and it will not be easy. But I am looking forward to it and this is week 1. Let's just do this! Are you with me? I hope you are

Until we read again, as always...lots of 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
