WRD: Another Catch-up Week 21 + 22
Tweet I wish I had about 36 hours in each day so I had more time to blog consistently! Oh well. It’s a luxury problem! I’ll try to keep it short, sweet and fairly readable! Week 21: Total Steps – 111442 average of almost 16K steps per day Biking – 26.5 KM Lunch Walk x…
WRD: Catching Up Week 19+20
Tweet I’m going to try and keep this weekly run down as short and sweet as possible. I know how hard it is to follow up on all the blogs in the linkup so I want to make this as easy as possible. You’re welcome. Hahaha! I can’t believe it was just last week that…
Runner’s Spotlight: Meet Missy
Tweet This week I’m talking to Missy; she started running after she’d lost some weight to then further supplement her weight loss. She’s lost 90 lbs in total! While I hadn’t lost any weight at all (I just started at 100KG / 220 lbs) I do know that original mindset of running to lose weight…
WRD: Week 18 – Liberation
Tweet While the US is celebrating Cinco de Mayo, here in the Netherlands we have the Dodenherdenking (Remembrance of the Dead) and Bevrijdingsdag (Liberation Day). The Netherlands was under German occupation from 1940 – 1945 and, thanks to the allies – in particular the British, Canadian, Polish and American troops – every year we celebrate…
It’s Gonna be May Ultimate Coffee Date
Tweet Sorry. I know it’s lame. But every time May rolls around I always think the same haha! Sit down, grab a cup of your favorite warm beverage (or cold, whatever floats your boat), let’s have a chat! Here are just a few things that I’d talk about while catching up – not just running…
Runner’s Spotlight: Introducing Christine
Tweet A couple of years ago, funnily enough after my last foot surgery, I reached out to several runners to interview them for the blog. When I am looking for motivation, or for people out there who “get” me, I find it very useful and inspiring to talk to runners who possibly have a similar…
WRD: Week 17 -Kings & Queens
Tweet Well, really just one King (and one Queen). That is the King of the Netherlands, Willem-Alexander. Every year we celebrate Kings Day (it used to be Queen’s Day until his mum retired) with a “free” market, lots of food and music festivals throughout the cities and villages. King’s day is the actual birthday of…
WRD: Week 16 Sunshine in my Pocket
Tweet You guys! Spring is FULL ON. The weather has been amazing! What a mood shift!! I happy to report that, though I’ve been fairly quiet on IG (I mean how many of selfies can you have of me NOT running or in the gym, amIright?) it’s been a good week, I feel less funky…
WRD: Week 15 – Good Intentions Sputter out
Tweet I immediately got this song in my head when I figured out what I wanted to use as the title of this week’s post. Other ideas had something to do with the roads and good intentions but my blog is filled with those types of posts! Hello Friends! Another week has gone by, in…
Weekly Run Down: Planned vs. Reality Recovery
Tweet What up my friends? Week 14 of 2019 is basically history and we are on to the next. It’s curious how so many of us can’t believe the speed at which our lives pass through each week and month and year, no? It seems to me that this speed means we are making the…
