So, it’s done. Yesterday was my LAST DAY at work. The place I’ve poured my heart and soul into for the last seven years. This was a really hard decision, and there were a lot of tears, but in the…

The internet is great isn’t it? I’ve been blogging for nearly 5 years and while I know I’m not consistent (but hey, I could be soon) I’m at least honest and try to give you my own personal take and…

Time for (another) Change

16 March, 2014 Renéeepiphany, Just Life6 Comments

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…

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.
