Update: I’m sorry (too) that this post comes up so high in the search engine. I wrote this post in 2013. This was the first Colour Run in the Netherlands. I’m sure you’ll have a great time at YOUR Colour…

Another Week Down

What a week! What a weekend! Where do I even start? Everything about my life seems like such a blur at times. I know. It’s getting boring. I’m saying the same things over and over. So I’m still off and…

In a Nutshell

13 May, 20136 May, 2015 RenéeJust Life, Race Recap13 Comments

So after Berlin I had a few days of “normal life” then I was off to Rwanda. What an amazing experience that was. I started writing about it and then I realised that: 1) I was really hard to put…

I needed a break

Source: atfirstblush.onsugar.com via Rachel on Pinterest After Berlin, then Rwanda, my head was full. I needed a break. From everything. I’ve been on auto-pilot the last several weeks. I’ll be up and running (literally) again soon. Thanks for sticking with…

Run, Laugh, Eat… Curry?

I mentioned previously that my husband and my stepdaughter have a (renewed, in Hubs’ case) interest in running. While Hubs and I rarely run “together” – his pace is much faster than mine – I love going out for a…

I love Numbers – (week) 9, 12(K), 14 (days to Berlin)

24 March, 2013 RenéeFun Stuff, Just Life, Self4 Comments

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)…

Week 7 and 8, Good and Bad + a 10KM Race

Yes, again behind on posting. Well you should know by now how it goes with me. Sometimes I can get in a few times a week, sometimes once a month. It’s tough sometimes to make the time. Anywhoo. TWO full…

Even the Blog has Jetlag

3 March, 2013 RenéeExercise, Just Life4 Comments

I did not mean to take so long to update! As you (may or may not) know, last week I returned from visiting my family in Albuquerque. It was a good visit but also a little bit heartbreaking. That sounds…

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.
