The Road to Hell
You know that saying, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions”? Well guess where I’m heading towards? I do have good intentions. Most evenings or mornings I prepare my food for the new day. I pack my gym bag. I take very little money with me so I won’t buy any junk. I…
Struggling
It’s been a while since I’ve written. I want to preface this by saying I know that there are bigger problems in the world. That even others I know and love have bigger issues than what I have. As much as I try to console myself with this and suck it up and move on,…
I love Numbers – (week) 9, 12(K), 14 (days to Berlin)
As you know I started Week 9 with an 18.5KM run. 18.5 people. That’s 2.6 KM from the total Half Marathon. It could have been better. It was fine. 2:11, right? That’s ok. But I learned a few things: 1) Don’t drink 3 cups of coffee before running this distance. Even if you have gone…
Week 4 Half Marathon Update
It was am incredibly stressful week last week. In my head I knew it would probably be like that, knowing that it was my last week before holiday (yay!) but I also knew I needed to go to the doctor care of some female stuff (don’t worry, everything is fine and I won’t go into…
Week 1 – Complete
So, hey, did I mention I’m running the HALF MARATHON in Berlin in April? Perhaps you remember me saying it before, but Berlin is one of my favourite cities in Europe. It’s a complex city with lots of history (certainly not always with shining moments), amazing architechture, dynamic people and whenever I’m there I feel…

The Last Race of the Year
Was Fabulous :) Seriously I thought it was going to very cold or very rainy or very icy but it wasn’t so bad at all. Unfortunately my family was not able this time to come out to Rotterdam due to the timing of the race. It was a kind of sad revelation on the Friday…
How do you know you have really changed?
It’s great to have the revelation that you have changed. I mean we all talk about “lifestyle change” yadda yadda yadda – we KNOW that we have to change so much about ourselves and we THINK we have… until we lose the weight and gain it back again for whatever reason. OR we don’t gain…
Seven Hills and that Pesky Little Problem I have
Some of you may remember when I did this race two years ago… I desperately wanted to do it the next year but I had that little knee problem and was out of commission for this event in 2011. So as soon as I could run again (when was that, back in November or December…
Losing Steam
I’m sorry I’ve been so quiet lately. I was really working hard on my goals for October and to be honest I feel like I did pretty good, not 100% consistent, but I really worked hard to get my running and my gym time in. I didn’t log my food on MFP every day and…
