January Runfessions: Back from Beyond + the Fit Five Friday
Yes, it’s been a while I don’t even know where to start to be honest. I haven’t blogged since September and mostly that’s because it’s just always Groundhog Day over here. I ran out of steam and decided it was better to not add the pressure of blogging, reading, commenting, and social-media’ing to my plate.…
WRD: Week 33 The Minimalist
Here’s my same old song and dance again… too much going on and I basically did the absolute minimum this week. On Monday the garden guys arrived to revamp our entire back garden area. It was too much concrete for my liking, the plants seemed to just be weeds and a poor old Dogwood tree…
Fit Five Friday – 5 Tips to go into surgery like the Fitness Goddess you are
For some of us, surgery is something we’ll face at least once in our lives – maybe even more than once As mentioned in my last Fit Five Friday,I choose to have abdominoplasty for a variety of reasons. This surgery took place one week ago. I wanted to share what, in my opinion, is the best way…
WRD: Week 20:2021 Noah Called AGAIN
Ok, for real, y’all. The rain is ridiculous. I know, it’s The Netherlands and we have the reputation for having a lot of rain, but I’m just kind of done now. I’ve lived here 26 years and I don’t recall a rainier May than this year. I could be wrong, of course, but even Dutch…
WRD: Week 8:2021 Harnessing Positive Energy
Sometimes the weeks just kind of melt into each other. That was this week. A repeat, in a way of so many other weeks. Get up. Work at home. Work out. Eat. Watch Netflix. Go to bed. Rinse. Repeat. That said, my attempts at getting out of bed earlier resulted in two morning walks. TWO!…
WRD: Week 7:2021 From Snow to Sun
A Slow Week Not much happening this week as the temperatures slowly (ever so) went from frozen tundra to springtime delight. It was still tricky in the beginning of the week to go out and walk (or run for that matter) because the snow was melting but the ice remained. I ended up indoors most…
WRD: Week 6:2021 Down Time
A Lot of Snow There was unfortunately a lot of indoor time this week due to the snow. Usually we get a dusting of snow, maybe one or two days in the winter, but it’s been years since we had this much. I believe we had somewhere in the neighbourhood of 10 inches of snow…
Everything you ever wanted to know about my absence from the blog
It’s been a while since my last post. More than 2 months to be exact! I haven’t really felt like I had much to talk about as far as fitness and running goes. We all have handled the Covid situation differently and I’m no exception. So what’s been going on? The big thing: We sold…
2020 – Let’s start Fresh, shall we?
Happy New Year my friends! We made it! I’m hopeful for a better year all the while knowing that time continues and I’m still the same person. No Goals, No Resolutions I know it’s that time of year again when we all make goals, sometimes small, sometimes big, hairy ones. That won’t be me. I…

I haven’t done a Friday post in F O R E V E R so I thought I’d participate today with Fairytales and Fitness for the weekly linkup! Feel Free to join in! As you all (most of you?) know, my Chicago trip was not the one I originally expected, not the one that I…
