Why summer sucks!

Hi y'all

I'm probably gonna be the most impopular person this orb we call earth has ever seen (okay I can think of a few humans worse than me but still...) most people will not like my next sentence and I'm probably gonna break some feeble little feelings but I don't care. I need to say this: SUMMER SUCKS BALLS!! Why?

Well first off: it is either too hot to have a nice run which means you have to get up at ungodly hours just because you do have that training sessions going on because fuck yeah...marathon ain't gonna frekkin run itself..OOOOR all hell ends up right above your head leaving you drenched to the bone and completely moritified because of that incredible thunderstorm you got caught up in. And than there's the BUGS. So many frekking bugs....My arms have been under attack by f if I know what kind of asshole bug but it ITCHES....soooooo badly....it itches like there's bugs crawling under my skin. I am not kidding you!! AND to top it off....I ATE A BUG....seriously...I ate one!! AND DID I MENTION I'm a pescotarian??!! A GD fly flew into my mouth and I swallowed it right after it nearly choked me. 

Now that is not the end of it...ooohnooo...summer burns your skin even if you did apply a factor 50 sunscreen that is sweatproof and reaks of sticky tropical beach and won't properly come off in the shower thus making the stuff pointless as is. Pffff and food...I have to eat because marathon-me will eat my muscles if I don't but the weather is too intens to get any craving at all so I end up eating either soup or salad.

Also...the summer runners....the ones that creep out of their hibernation pidgeon holes, dress up like barbie and run like Phoebe with like 6 other Phoebes completely blocking all your space  so you have to slow down which I really don't wanna do because all I want is for the hot mess called running to end.

Summer sucks. It sucks. I'm sorry all you summer beach hippies but I can't wait for my favorite season to begin. I want this hot daunting sweat shit to end. Not because I don't like stretching out on a huge beach towel and going for a swim to cool off, hang in the sun and have a BBQ with friends or just have an amazing time with my super amazing husband man....NOOOOO I want this over with because I need my space and I need my runs and summer is messing it all up. So summer sucks balls and I wish fall was here.

That's it for now,
keep it unreal and make it happen
no limits no regrets
until we read again, as always
love Marlies

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....

Happy birthday to me!

Hi y'all, It is my BIRTHDAY and today I celebrate life. This morning my super amazing husband man woke me up with a stack of amazing birthday presents. He got me an anatomy poster, a book on the anatomy of stretches, the amazing meals on the run cookbook by runner's world and tickets to tonight's performance of Ciske the Rat the musical. I am soooooo happy. After breakfast and gifts I went over to Running Holland because as of today I am an intern on two groups of beginning runners. Can you believe it? The day I turned fortyfour I started out as an intern. That just made smile. In time I will take on some of the parts in training and I will teach them too. Today I learned a lot about coaching beginners and I have had tremendous fun watching another coach in action. The fact that it is my birthday remained a secret and that felt really good. It felt like celebrating something nobody knew about and somehow that made this morning a little sunnyier than it actually was. ...

Ode to the last runner

Hi y'all Today I ran the Zandvoort circuit run for the second time. It is a 12km run divided in three parts of 4km. The first part you run over a motor racing track, than you head down to the beach and run 4km over a stretch of beach and after that you run your last 4km back to the track and that is where you finish. Running isn't always fun and today in particular I didn't have fun. I was distracted a lot and I couldn't focus on what I was doing there and why I was there to begin with. It started out pretty well with a good first 4km on the tracks feeling good and trying to stick with my own goal which was running within my D1 zone. It all went to crap when we got to the beach. You know it is not the first time that I compare running to life. At that stretch of beach, with high tide and hardly any beach, things got tough and when they do the uglyness that people carefully hide under a thick layer of well preserved politeness? Well that goes to crap with it. I ran a...
