WRD: Stormy Weather

6 October, 201921 October, 2019 RenéeWeekly Run Down27 Comments on WRD: Stormy Weather

I had a lot of hope for this week. It seemed like the universe was a little bit against that hope. It’s fine. It just could have been better. WAY better. It is full on Autumn here in the Netherlands.…

Hey everyone. Remember me? It’s been, what, 6 or 7 weeks since I last posted. And a lot happened. Some of you know and some of you don’t. So I’ll try to keep it short and sweet. Chicago Marathon Training…

18 August, 201918 August, 2019 RenéeWeekly Run Down14 Comments on WRD – Week 33 Noah Called

Week 8 of 16 Chicago Marathon training is a done deal. I’m halfway and I feel about a quarter ready to take on the distance. I’m not going to dwell too much on the negative that I feel, because I…

28 July, 201928 July, 2019 RenéeWeekly Run Down22 Comments on WRD: Week 30 – Stronger

This week was much better as far as work goes, but it was finally “our” turn to experience the Heatwave from Hell. Training continued, sleep remained difficult, at some point the airco at work didn’t even work properly anymore (and…

14 July, 201914 July, 2019 RenéeWeekly Run Down34 Comments on WRD: Vacation Catch-Up

It’s been a few weeks, my 3-week summer holiday is officially coming to an end and, to be honest, I have no idea how I’m going to start up again; work, training, keeping up with housework, cooking, etc. UGH. First…

WRD: Week 23 -What’s the Time?

9 June, 20199 June, 2019 RenéeWeekly Run Down15 Comments on WRD: Week 23 -What’s the Time?

It’s time to get ill, apparently. So, yeah, this week was kind of a wash. I want to say I started off strong, but to be honest (firstly, with myself) I was already sick last week Friday and just fighting…

Running on Strava – Let’s connect!

Fresh out of the oven, or crusty old pie, you choose:

Team Pie

Hey! I’m Renée, 55 years old; I started running just to lose some weight and in the meantime found out that running changes pretty much everything. My favorite running partner, Ron (56), started running just to support me, but he found out he actually had a talent for it and consequently has run over 28 marathons in the span of 6 years with  3 of them being World Majors.

This blog is about running, fitness, mental health, travel and, though I am trying to get out of diet mentality, I may still talk about weight/ weight loss.   Sometimes a combination of all, sometimes not. And not always in that order.

Running and fitness keep me sane, travel is my passion.We live in the Netherlands – Mr Pie is Dutch and I am American and Dutch, now living here over half of my life.

Contact Me

I love to comments and hearing from people regarding pretty much anything, so please feel free to contact me at any time! I'm not a professional by any means, but I love to share stories, tips and tricks, commiserations, celebrations and of course a good slice of pie (if you've got one on offer)
