Liverpool – Rock n Roll Marathon Day! (Part II)
On Sunday we woke up early to hit the breakfast bar on time. It wasn’t totally ideal but we did our best with carbs (cereal, toast, danish) and sweet things like honey and jam. We also had our carb-loader drink and prepared another to take with us. Since we were VIP we weren’t too worried…
5 Bloggiful Years!
Today is the Blog’s 5 year anniversary! 5 years! I started off with absolutely no clue of what I was doing or how I even wanted to do it. I thought perhaps that it would be a great way to keep account of my life, my experiences and my quest for fitness and health, but…
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…
Letting Go
So that stuff at work that is going on? I’ve decided to let go of the stress that I’m allowing to take over my normal workday. There are still things that are going on and decisions waiting to be made but clearly *I* have no influence over those things. So it’s time to let go.…
Overdue
It really has been almost a month since I blogged. With good reason. Seriously it’s been a wild crazy busy couple of months and the stress level has been pretty high. I meant to update at the end of October – remember I had some goals? 1) I will not only log into MyFitnessPal every…
WNL:: (was not last!) Westervoort Midzomer Run
Yes another race! And another PR! This time I shaved 16 seconds off of my fastest race in Hilversum just two months ago. Last year I had to skip this race as it was again right after the Ladies Run and I was not allowed to run. I was exceptionally bummed because Westervoort is about…
Recap: Rotterdam Ladies Run 2012 Edition
It was a couple of weeks ago already, but I am still smiling about my experience with the Ladies Run in Rotterdam this year. What a difference from last year! If you have been following along, you’ll remember that last year’s Ladies Run was my last one before being forced into taking a break from…
Recap: Marikenloop 2012
Wow, I can’t beleive it’s already been a week ago that I was able to participate in the 10th annual Marikenloop in Nijmegen! This is a Ladies Only race and has really grown in participant numbers over the last several years. The first year they had a little less than 1500 ladies running through park…
And… Another Race!
A few months ago I signed up for the Spieren voor Spieren (that’s “muscles for muscles” literally translated) City Run in Hilversum (the media capital of the Netherlands). I knew it was the week after Milan and I thought it would be fine since at Milan I was “only” running 7KM so no big deal…
Another Week Goes By And What Have I Done
I realize it’s Tuesday (evening for me) and I’m very late with my update, but this is my life and the way the lowfat cookie crumbles. Again a week has gone by and my intentions to blog during the week went right out of the window. You guys are used to that right? So what…
