Adventures of a physical rehab girl

 Hi y'all,


it's been a while and for good reason. This is my last post on this blog. I am no longer able to run a full marathon and therefor I have decided to give up on keeping this blog. It just doesn't sit right with me. 

It was fun while it lasted. I loved writing about my running (mis)adventures and all that it thaugt me and now it is time to move on. I will definately never quit running but it needs to become something different in my life now that I know that this asshole muscle disease might strike again and now that I have lost movement in my right arm and hand this time too. Pushing myself to and mostly over the limit is something I wanna learn to stop doing and thus.....it's time for a new blog: Mostly Marley. Middle aged and life in between

So if you wanna stay in touch, keep up, wanna have a good laugh and maybe shed a tear now and again feel free to come with me and join me as I venture out and try to exhale, let go, embrace and explore the all that is almost 50. You can count on dead honest updates of a broken body trying to find it's way back in and through physical rehab, the change and trying to balance a life with this thing called job. 

It's been a blast being marathon girl and I am thouroughly proud of actually being able to call myself that. I loved running long distances and now I will try to love running everything until the max of a half one. I will try to find my new way and I hope that this blog inspired some of you and last but not least I hope you'll join me.


That's it for now, 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...

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...
