Toe talk

Goodmorning guys,

Just a short update concerning 'the toe' and a few links. I am happy to report that my toe is actually healing quite well. A lot better than the last time they cut off the nail in December. It is still a bit sore but is doesn't bleed like crazy anymore and I have taken off the bandages. I can stand on my foot and walk around. I haven't worn shoes yet but will try that later on today and I am positive about being back in training by monday. So that is really good news right?

for my Dutch readers I have a link I wanted to share with you guys. If you have been thinking about running or living a more healthy life but you haven't had the strength to get started on your own than you might want to check out this TV program: operatieNLfit Please remember I'm not getting paid or anything to promote this show but I think it is a great opportunity for everybody. I will follow this show as it runs.

It has been a while since I have specifically mentioned why I ventured on this journey called Damloop and after that half marathon of Amsterdam. I run for ZZF. It is an organisation that funds research on rare diseases such as Neuralgic Amyotrophy. This rare disease hits children onder the age of five more frequently than it hits adults but since I have been through two attacks of it I can tell you that the pain is overwhelmingly intens and nearly unbearable. I asked my own husband to put a pillow on my face because I just didn't want to feel the pain anymore. Now imagine it is your child suffering that kind of pain and after that the consequences of the dead nerves in her neck like not being able to lift your own arms anymore. It is a rare disease and therefore easily dismissed by doctors that literally ignore you and tell you it is just a muscle ache. If we want to know more about this disease we have to get money for research. It has been a while since the last donation and I really do want to get to my 300euro goal. It is only 80 more euro's and every single donation no matter how big or small is welcome. So please help me and ZZF to fight rare diseases and donate RIGHT HERE

As always until we read again

Love Marlies

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...

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...

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...
