A-MAY-zing May (see what I did there?)
Yeah, Yeah I KNOW it’s the middle of June now. So let me tell you a little something about when you suddenly have a lot of time. Actually, you don’t quite know what to do with yourself! Hence the silence. Sure I would have been able to blog more because I’ve so much free time…
A Good Start – January Update
If you know me by now then you know that two weeks and nary a post from me is pretty normal. I am the Queen of Good Intentions. So here’s a few things: 1- I started the month/year with choosing to stick to a healthy way of eating, rather than stress eating, not planning, comfort…
Lisbon Half Marathon T – 1 and Day of Recap
Day T – 1 Usually when you are on holiday in a place you’ve never (or, ok, in my case only twice very briefly) been, you try to get in as much as possible, right? Not us. We are probably the people you don’t want to travel with. Our Motto “Relax. Take it easy” And…
Lisbon RnR Half Marathon: Day -2
Greetings from Lisbon! This morning we got up at the crack before dawn to drive to Eindhoven to catch a flight. It was super smooth getting there, unlike the last time we travelled from Eindhoven (when we went to Lithuania for the Depeche Mode Concert) and we were almost high-fiving each other until we found…
Done. Onto the Next One.
So Sunday… was the Posbankloop, which once again my husband kicked his PR’s ass. He’s such a rockstar! First of all, it’s a smaller race. Not sure how many participants but probably 5000 or less. It wasn’t very crowded at the meeting point. Any of you who think the Netherlands is flat you are not…
Epic.
I don’t know how else to describe this month. Mind you, Epic doesn’t necessary mean good. In my case it means a lot of different things. Good. Bad. Stressed. Busy. Exhausted. First of all, the work thing is just insane. I can’t really give you too many details but the stress has just been incredible.…
What’s Happening?
So, since I had a little whinge about my struggles, I’ve had a vacation, gotten my blood test results back, ran a 10 Miler and had a birthday so I thought I’d update just a wee bit. Running When I wrote my last post I really was struggling with running. I’m not sure why, but…
Ten Reasons I will Never do the Color Run Again
Update: I’m sorry (too) that this post comes up so high in the search engine. I wrote this post in 2013. This was the first Colour Run in the Netherlands. I’m sure you’ll have a great time at YOUR Colour Run, whichever one you choose to do. You don’t need to take my experience to…
Another Week Down
What a week! What a weekend! Where do I even start? Everything about my life seems like such a blur at times. I know. It’s getting boring. I’m saying the same things over and over. So I’m still off and feeling a bit discombobulated. I’m not eating well (still) but I’m not eating completely off…
In a Nutshell
So after Berlin I had a few days of “normal life” then I was off to Rwanda. What an amazing experience that was. I started writing about it and then I realised that: 1) I was really hard to put into words 2) The post was getting longer and longer and I wasn’t even finished…
