Well goodmorning to y'all (she said with a very broad smile) Just got back from my first trainig of the week and I did what we call duurloop in Dutch. I should translate that but I am too sweaty and in dire need of a shower to actually do that right now but I will get to it....promise. However this was my lap http://runkeeper.com/user/Seilram/activity/150230498?&tripIdBase36=2hfyle (can somebody please tell me why the links never work even though I do try to get them clickable? Sjiiieees) I simply loved todays run! So much better than how I ended last week on friday. Did I tell you? I don't think I did. It was horrible. I struggled for 8km and I felt like dung. How come some runs are fantastic when others feel like war the entire time? This week I am off to a good start I think. If this run is the fortune cookie for the runs to come than I feel lucky already. Weather was beautiful and I love Sloterplas. So calm and quiet in the midst of all that noise. After my run I immediatly went on with my 30DC and did 10 minutes of abs. That was way more difficult than I thought it would be but I kept going and I finished my 10 minute workout. So that is going well too. http://www.my30dc.com/project/show_project/1074 Now how about my fundraiser? I am very happy to announce that thanks to a few friends I am now at 57% of my goal. I know you want to contribute and you can via this link. It is safe, simple and very easy. So donate: https://www.justgiving.nl/nl/pages/1740-marlies-loopt-voor-het-zzf I am unemployed, working my butt off to get some projects for my own company (check my own website at www.marliesvaneunen.nl and please contact me if you'd like to tour Amsterdam!!) and by doing all of this I stay focused and positive. This morning I can honestly say that I am lucky to be where I am today and I have so much to be thankful for. Most of all for the love of my life. So thank you. All of you! This smelly but proud girl is gonna take a shower. 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...

Out with the old

 Hi y'all, I can't believe we're actually here again. Another year coming to a close. A year in which I started a new job, a year that took al the strength some of our dearest friends had in order for them to survive, A year that taught us caution and a year that made us realize friends are there for each other in good times as much as they need to be when someone is scattered like a broken puzzle. A year in which we learned how a pandemic changes the world and marks all of the people that went through and survived it when maybe their loved ones didn't. A year that showed us the good and the horrid face of humanity facing huge losses. A year that helped some of the people we hold so dear take a stand for themselves and stand up for their own life. A year that just yesterday made all words obsolote when it took the dad and near-to-be-ex-husband of three beautiful people in my love's family. Words just completely left the earth and nothing else matters but the silence...

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...
