Dear readers,

As I'm about to dash out the door I thought I might want to update you on my training schedule so click right here to see what I am about to do now but that isn't all... If you want to see how I've done than you might want to try your luck here.

Ofcourse this is a bit strange because it seems like I have only been training since this week but obviously that is not the case. This schedule is the one I will be using to train for the half marathon which is in october but since I'm training for the Damloop I thought it could be really good to end with the half marathon.

Oh and before I forget: who has not seen the extreme makeover episode with Ashley kicking her weight to the curbe and starting a healthy life?check the episode right hereI know what she's been through though Ashleys' struggle was way more difficult than mine but still I lost a lot of weight too. Her story reminded me of the person I never wanted to see in the mirror again. I was slipping back into my old habits but after seeing this episode I know I can be strong and I will finish the Damloop and the half marathon. So here I go. Leaving you for the moment since I'm out running.

Until we read again, as always 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...

Fundamentals

Hi Y'all, In running there are all sorts of unseperable trio's. Things that come in three and always do. Things I like to call the fundamentals. Think of them as basics, not rules to live by but merely interlinked shackles forming a tiny chain. There are a few to consider and even though I might be the only one ever thinking about them as such is doesn't hurt to share my outtake on them so here we go: The holy trinity of running: luck, wisdom & bling. In running, especially long distances, we all need a little luck. No guarantees are given no matter the amount of preperation you put into a long distance race. You can be as prepared as any preacher for christmas is and still not make it to the finish line. So many things can happen while you are out on race day so....a little luck for all runners never hurt anyone. Supersticion amongst runners is a thing and I for one am a supersticious as they come. Numerous rituals before that gun goes off to mark the start of th...

New year's runsolutions: Rethink, reschedule, redefine

Hi y'all, With 2016 coming to a close I am, like many others, trying to focus on closing and starting up. Out with the old, in with the new. December has always been the most magical month of the year for me. The cold brings in this almost eery serenity on your early morning runs. The fog lingering over the frost bitten gras, frozen over lakes and canals, the sky coloring crimson red with the sun trying to break the night's dark blue. Go out for a run and you can imagine running into a wizard with his wand out conjuring a patronus just for practice (oh yeah...I am a true Potterhead). December is magical and this year I once again find myself redefining my wishes. Alas I'm still recovering from my my IT-band injurie but this year I am travelling the road of the wise. My goals can only be reached by being the smart one now. So I am rethinking my runcketlist and I have come up with a good schedule for the big moments: - January 8th 2017 Saucony Egmond quarter marathon....
