Why summer sucks!

Hi y'all

I'm probably gonna be the most impopular person this orb we call earth has ever seen (okay I can think of a few humans worse than me but still...) most people will not like my next sentence and I'm probably gonna break some feeble little feelings but I don't care. I need to say this: SUMMER SUCKS BALLS!! Why?

Well first off: it is either too hot to have a nice run which means you have to get up at ungodly hours just because you do have that training sessions going on because fuck yeah...marathon ain't gonna frekkin run itself..OOOOR all hell ends up right above your head leaving you drenched to the bone and completely moritified because of that incredible thunderstorm you got caught up in. And than there's the BUGS. So many frekking bugs....My arms have been under attack by f if I know what kind of asshole bug but it ITCHES....soooooo badly....it itches like there's bugs crawling under my skin. I am not kidding you!! AND to top it off....I ATE A BUG....seriously...I ate one!! AND DID I MENTION I'm a pescotarian??!! A GD fly flew into my mouth and I swallowed it right after it nearly choked me. 

Now that is not the end of it...ooohnooo...summer burns your skin even if you did apply a factor 50 sunscreen that is sweatproof and reaks of sticky tropical beach and won't properly come off in the shower thus making the stuff pointless as is. Pffff and food...I have to eat because marathon-me will eat my muscles if I don't but the weather is too intens to get any craving at all so I end up eating either soup or salad.

Also...the summer runners....the ones that creep out of their hibernation pidgeon holes, dress up like barbie and run like Phoebe with like 6 other Phoebes completely blocking all your space  so you have to slow down which I really don't wanna do because all I want is for the hot mess called running to end.

Summer sucks. It sucks. I'm sorry all you summer beach hippies but I can't wait for my favorite season to begin. I want this hot daunting sweat shit to end. Not because I don't like stretching out on a huge beach towel and going for a swim to cool off, hang in the sun and have a BBQ with friends or just have an amazing time with my super amazing husband man....NOOOOO I want this over with because I need my space and I need my runs and summer is messing it all up. So summer sucks balls and I wish fall was here.

That's it for now,
keep it unreal and make it happen
no limits no regrets
until we read again, as always
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...

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...

Because they get it!

There are moments as a runner when you see the backside of your entire crew the entire race. It is those days, when push comes to shuff, that you will value that same crew even more. You keep going because you have to, because giving up is just not an option, because you can smell the finish line even when you're miles away. Yes you will probably hate yourself for being the slowest one in that crew, you will hate the feeling of all the effort that you've put into that race and not seeing the results but you keep going anyway because you are a runner. Because this time you get to eat the dust but you haven't forgotten the times you stood there watching your buddies finish and feeling their anger, disappointment and pain. You remember those times and you know with all that is you that they will be there. A true crewmember knows what it feels like to just not have it in you that day. It is okay to cry, to kick dirt around, to just shout out horrible words and spit on the flo...
