Week 14 – 2018: Still a challenge
Tweet it’s still quite challenging here – just so busy and I seem to have lost (or am losing) a balance. I feel exhausted. Even with the day off Monday and my normal day off Friday, I still feel wrecked. Here’s how it went down: Monday – It’s Easter Monday here, so an extra…
Lucky Week 13
Tweet Ah Finally. I think we are over the slump. First of all, we spent quite a lot of time discussing it and weighing the pros and cons, even without having the offer, and we are not going to go for a Chicago move at this time. We started mostly thinking about the kind…
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…
September Update or How to Fail Your Blog
Tweet So. Crazy times you guys. I think I just totally failed my blog since I haven’t had time to post. Let me just tell you about September: Gym: I’ve been going to the gym! whoo hoo! So far it’s not been more than one time a week but I’ll get there soon. It’s difficult…
Week 14 – excitement, panic #roadtoberlin
Tweet WEEK 14 you guys!!! Maybe it seems like it shouldn’t be a big deal. I’ve done this before. Five times, in fact. It’s not a big deal, right? WRONG. It’s pretty huge. I’ve wanted to run the Berlin Marathon actually from the moment I decided to do a marathon (Paris and Berlin were the…
Week 12 – #roadtoberlin Update
Tweet The week I was going to change my attitude. And mostly, I’d say that happened. So, SUCCESS! However, sometimes things don’t always go to plan and you really have to look at things in retrospect and accept your situation. My situation is that I’m just not completely healed from my operation. I probably won’t…
Week 11 – Attitude Adjustment Needed
Tweet I was hoping Week 11 would be a better week. I still had the feeling it could have been better. I see how everyone is training at the moment and I know I should not compare myself to others (that’s hard). I am honestly doing the best that I can right now. I want…
Friday Runner Spotlight #6- Melissa
Tweet Melissa is another runner I can really relate to. We both started for the same reason – to lose weight. We both found a passion in running and regardless of time and pace we keep going, because it has actually changed our lives. I highly encourage you to read Melissa’s blog; she’s down to…
Week 10 – What’s a nice way to say “Crap”?
Tweet OK Week 10. Not my finest hour after a great running weekend (I promise, the post is coming soon. It’s in the works!). Monday – Travel day, therefore a rest day (not to say that I’ve never run on a travel day before, I actually have!). We actually slept in a wee bit, had…
Week 9 – Road to Berlin
Tweet Here we go. Another week. And an exciting one at that! Dublin Trip Week! Monday – rest day. Oh, wait. Boxing boot camp. I’m sore, sore, sore. Like all my muscles hurt. I also went to manual therapy at 7am and there’s definitely something going on with my back. So I had a bit…
