another change, or rather going back to the beginning again… Tonight I went back to Weight Watchers. Not because I want to be on a diet. Because I need the support. I tried to do it online for a while…

The Road to Hell

10 November, 2013 RenéeJust Life, Mind, Self19 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…

Done. Onto the Next One.

So Sunday… was the Posbankloop, which once again my husband kicked his PR’s ass. He’s such a rockstar! First of all, it’s a smaller race. Not sure how many participants but probably 5000 or less. It wasn’t very crowded at…

Epic.

28 September, 20136 May, 2015 RenéeExercise, Fun Stuff, Just Life, Race Recap4 Comments

I don’t know how else to describe this month. Mind you, Epic doesn’t necessary mean good. In my case it means a lot of different things. Good. Bad. Stressed. Busy. Exhausted. First of all, the work thing is just insane.…

What’s Happening?

So, since I had a little whinge about my struggles, I’ve had a vacation, gotten my blood test results back, ran a 10 Miler and had a birthday so I thought I’d update just a wee bit. Running When I…

Sunday Run: aka My Husband is Awesome

15 July, 201315 July, 2013 RenéeExercise, Fun Stuff, Just Life4 Comments

I’ve been fairly down lately. Eating isn’t going well (uninspired. bored. meh.) Running isn’t going well (slow. heavy. no schedule) I have a lot of things on my mind, the usual combination of stuff – work, thoughts, life, etc. Ron’s…

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

20 May, 20138 November, 2015 RenéeExercise, Food, Fun Stuff, Mind, Race Recap12 Comments

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…

Run, Laugh, Eat… Curry?

14 April, 2013 RenéeExercise, Fun Stuff

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…

Recap: Berlin Half Marathon 2013 – CHECK!

13 April, 20138 November, 2015 RenéeFun Stuff, Race Recap14 Comments

What a whirlwind! Life was busy before and leading up to the Half and didn’t stop. With a few days break I’ll soon be off again, this time traveling to Rwanda with my company! But the HALF in Berlin! What…

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.
