Summer is coming

Crazy past week with the coronation of King Willem Alexander and I still went for a run on the first of may. Great work-out once again. after that we had memorial day and than yesterday liberation day. All of them were party-like days. I didn't go out and party my pants of though. This morning I woke up and I felt completely refreshed. Bit of a stuffed nose but that's all in the game when trees like the Birch are in bloom. It didn't really bother me this morning. My half marathon training started officially with my first scheduled work-out. An easy 4.8km run. And I have to admit: running through Westerpark with all of those trees in full bloom just simply wowed the AW out of me. Not too many runners that early on so I just had an amazing time.

It appears that feeling that good and running like it's the easiest thing you've ever done are somehow intertwined. So all I have to do is keep feeling this good and my runs will get better everytime. So how to go about that? Well firs of all I think I'm a bit on the heavy side for a runner. Don't get me wrong: I do not think I am fat but I do believe running will be an even better experience when I'm able to get rid of some of the weight. And in my search for a good and healthy program that helps me built muscle and drop the number on the scale I obviously checked out Chris Powell's advise first. He's is the weightloss work-out genius after all so he must have some really good tips. Well he does on his website (just google his name. it's the first hit) however I was looking for a more fitted plan since I do grasp the basics of good food and healthy living. Just looking for some extra info on extra beneficial foods like pine-nuts, pepita's, avocado and apple. I ended up on this website click here to see the site and I found some tips and tricks I already knew about but non the less are good te read. Yesterday i saw a link come by on twitter but I'm unable to find it again (should have bookmarked the page) and on that page it said that raspberry ketone is also really good and will eat your fat away. So I might add that too.

Well I guess I'm doing well. I loved my run this morning. We will be going to the states next friday so I'll be running in Orlando and Miami. If you feel like going for a run with me (I'm on the runkeeper schedule beginner half marathon to finish) you are more than welcome to join me. Just leave a comment and we could try to meet up. Next to that I would like to ask all of you to share your greatest weightloss and foodtips right here. I'm dead serious about running the half marathon despite my stupid N.A. and the recovery from that. I really do believe losing some weight (let's not go overboard here...just a few kilo's!) will really help me make the most out of my marathon experience. That experience has already begun. I'm loving it so far..well most of the time...and I do hope I can raise some more money. So if I inspire you and you feel like sponsoring my good cause (rare disease research) than please donate right here and help me in my quest to increase knowledgable docters through research.

Until we read again, as always 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...
