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
