Mental

11 April, 2011 RenéeBody, Mind8 Comments

My brain is against me lately. Not just with regards to my body, with everything. It was an emotional week for me to say the least. I was headhunted again and this time for a company very close to where…

Zandvoort II

(I realize now I haven’t even done a race re-cap for Groet aan Schoorl, the race I did in February…) This past Sunday I participated in the 4th annual Zandvoort Circuit Run, a race near and dear to my heart…

Sunday, Running Sunday

20 March, 2011 RenéeBody, Self2 Comments

It’s been quite a while since my regular Sunday afternoon runs and I have to say, I’ve missed it. I did run whilst in New Mexico, that was a totally different experience. Prior to my holiday I’d lost a bit…

What to do when you are not dieting

18 March, 2011 RenéeFood, Self2 Comments

I’m officially not dieting, though my brain is still in diet mentality. That’s years and years of conditioning. Like growing up Catholic and then giving it up, the rituals stay with you regardless of whether you want them there or…

Now that we’ve got that out of the way

How about an update? My vacation was fabulous for the most part. I had not been back to New Mexico for nearly 5 years though I had a slight taste of the Southwest 2 years ago when Mr. Lowfatpie and…

The Diet Mentality

Disclaimer: This is not a happy post, but rather a bitter one. It’s something I realized, while I was on holiday in the States, that I am still completely brainwashed from following Weight Watchers for so long. I know the…

Back from my holiday to the US. Official Weight Gain 900gr so actually not too bad! Before I get back to posting, what do you think: Online Surveys & Market Research

I knew I hadn’t written for a while, but I didn’t actually realise just how long until this weekend. I tried to write on the weekend, and now I’m glad I didn’t publish, because, well, it’s not completely what I…

The Sports Doctor

26 January, 2011 RenéeBody, Self16 Comments

I went to the sports doctor (is that the right term? here in NL it is but I’m not sure what you would call these professionals in North America or the UK for example) this morning and it was an…

The Silence

… is only temporary. I’m just busy :)

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.
