Time to reset
Tweet I’m back from Chicago and while I had an amazing time it’s time to get back to a “normal” routine. I’ve already been off a routine since the middle of August and I’m really missing it. I still can’t run until January, but I can do other things; I’m just not doing much… One…
WRD: Week 29 And I’m spent
Tweet This past week was exhausting and everything kind of got adjusted along the way. I’m having a lot of trouble with sleeping (what’s new) and Sunday night was horrendous. I had to go back to work on Monday with about 4 hours of sleep and let me tell you it was FULL ON. No…
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).

Tweet it’s Friday and the last Friday of the month, which means I’m joining Marcia for Runfessions! I runfess that I haven’t run very many kilometers this month. For a person who was shouting from the rooftops at the beginning of the month what their goals were and exactly how they were going…
So. I did a thing. Amsterdam Marathon – CHECK!
Tweet After the DNF in Warsaw I immediately started to talking to my trainer about all the feels and what to do next. I was disappointed and I was mad. Mad at myself and mad at my body. Finally my foot felt OK enough to run and then something else happened! Frustrating doesn’t even slightly…
A Week In Boston Part II
Tweet Now that you’ve gotten through Part I, let’s finish it off with Part II. Even though Marathon Monday was so dreadful, we were still up and at ’em in the morning Tuesday, to be sure we were packed up and ready to go in the afternoon. We arranged our bike tour to be changed…
Catching Up || Recap: Week 11 + 12 2018
Tweet After my so called “hard reset” I still had some work to do. Training Week 11 was supposed to have minimum three runs, but once again I had only two. Monday night with Vincent’s Group was again intervals and technique but we mostly ran easy due to the Stevensloop Half Marathon that most of…
