Adventures of a physical rehab girl

 Hi y'all,


it's been a while and for good reason. This is my last post on this blog. I am no longer able to run a full marathon and therefor I have decided to give up on keeping this blog. It just doesn't sit right with me. 

It was fun while it lasted. I loved writing about my running (mis)adventures and all that it thaugt me and now it is time to move on. I will definately never quit running but it needs to become something different in my life now that I know that this asshole muscle disease might strike again and now that I have lost movement in my right arm and hand this time too. Pushing myself to and mostly over the limit is something I wanna learn to stop doing and thus.....it's time for a new blog: Mostly Marley. Middle aged and life in between

So if you wanna stay in touch, keep up, wanna have a good laugh and maybe shed a tear now and again feel free to come with me and join me as I venture out and try to exhale, let go, embrace and explore the all that is almost 50. You can count on dead honest updates of a broken body trying to find it's way back in and through physical rehab, the change and trying to balance a life with this thing called job. 

It's been a blast being marathon girl and I am thouroughly proud of actually being able to call myself that. I loved running long distances and now I will try to love running everything until the max of a half one. I will try to find my new way and I hope that this blog inspired some of you and last but not least I hope you'll join me.


That's it for now, until we read again

As always, Love 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...

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...

Fundamentals

Hi Y'all, In running there are all sorts of unseperable trio's. Things that come in three and always do. Things I like to call the fundamentals. Think of them as basics, not rules to live by but merely interlinked shackles forming a tiny chain. There are a few to consider and even though I might be the only one ever thinking about them as such is doesn't hurt to share my outtake on them so here we go: The holy trinity of running: luck, wisdom & bling. In running, especially long distances, we all need a little luck. No guarantees are given no matter the amount of preperation you put into a long distance race. You can be as prepared as any preacher for christmas is and still not make it to the finish line. So many things can happen while you are out on race day so....a little luck for all runners never hurt anyone. Supersticion amongst runners is a thing and I for one am a supersticious as they come. Numerous rituals before that gun goes off to mark the start of th...
