Adventures of a marathon girl

Hi y'all, Today is thanksgiving, an all American celebration and the one day in the year you get to tell what you are thankful for. Something I believe we should do more often than just one day a year. We take so many things for granted and today I would like to let y'all know that I do notice you and I am thankful for the all that is you out there.  First and foremost I can never put into words how blessed I am with the love of my life. Meeting Sander changed everything in every possible way. He never doubts me, he always has my back and it is just so amazing to have someone in my life who's priority I am and vice versa. Someone to wake up next to and someone to kiss goodnight. I love my man more than I can tell, though I do tell him exactly that every morning when I wake up and every night before I fall asleep. Today I would like to express how thankful I am for the completely deranged and utterly nutty family I am from. Like any other family we bicker, we fight...

Hi y'all, I have been trying to come up with the right words for this blogpost ever since the mind-boggling results of the American elections. I have been in numerous debates with people from all over the world. Some people are downright rude when I speak up for those that openly have been targeted ever since. All over the USA, no the world, people are voicing what is happening to them on social media. Swastika's are popping up, young girls the age of ten and under (!) have been grabbed by the vagina by boys who tell them that if the president can do it than so can they, women wearing head scarfs out of religious believes are scared of wearing them....I am heartbroken. Do we really need a reminder of what hate can lead to? Let's just say that all it takes is one trip down memory lane. I speak up because I am a human and no I do not live in the USA but this is not just an American issue. It is a global issue since the world always looks at the USA and uses it...

Hi y'all, Perspective is a weird thing and somehow it is intertwinted with time. When time passes and you get some distance from your latest race, how you felt doing it and what it was like to cross that finish line, you'll find that it is the same distance that makes everything look small. You'll find it easier to talk about it without the overwhelming surge of emotions that rushes over you the first about 48 hours after a very long run. And right about that time you will notice that friends and family members are inspired and feel like they want to achieve something huge like that for themselves. With that inspiration comes some true responsibility. I am all about getting people up and out there on their new running shoes and I abslolutely love talking about running and why I believe everybody should run and why everybody is able to do so provided they have no serious health issues that would surface when they put 4 times their bodyweight on their knees and ankles wit...
