(I scheduled this post for last week, damn it!!! ) Last week Wednesday my physio gave me some exercises to do to prepare for running again. Then we made an appointment for two weeks to see how things were going.…

Shhhh. Did you hear that? Wait, there it is again! Crickets! That’s right, crickets! It’s been awfully quiet around here. I didn’t mean for it to be like this but the truth is a lot has been going on, and…

Thanks. I needed that!

I haven’t run for two weeks. In fact I’ve hardly done anything. What with my parents being here, plus the travel and then the exhaustion from work on top of that it just wasn’t happening. But today I decided to…

I wrote a post earlier this week but have decided to try again in another way, at least giving my impressions for anyone who may be interested to do this in the future. But I’m going to be honest, it…

Mental

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…

(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

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…

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…

Video Sunday

I went running this afternoon and was amazed at how much water there is everywhere, just a couple of kilometers from my apartment. I only made the video from the bridge between Westervoort and Arnhem. I wanted to stop and…

WOW that was AWESOME!

I just returned home from my 1/4 Marathon at Egmond aan Zee. I have to say, it was incredible! I am so happy that Donna asked me last month in London if I wanted to do this race, as she…

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.
