The knee thing

13 February 2018Leave a comment

As you all know my knee got hurt at my first race januari the 15th. Irritated IT band and pain and all that stuff. Really annoying and frustrating. In the past three weeks I did five testruns. And I think I'm good to go! Steady and easy of course. Did an almost 5k run Sunday. … Continue reading The knee thing

Polar Express

So I have been thinking. 2017 has been a very difficult year for me on many levels. Not just my mother passing away, but also a small burnout and some mental health issues that arose to the surface. I'm not there yet, but I'm getting better and stronger each day. I know it will be … Continue reading Polar Express

A new path

14 November 201719 November 2017Leave a comment

My blog died a little bit. A little bit? It died completely! I still like to write, even better, I really love it! But why did I stop writing? Too busy? Did life happen? If it meant that much to me, I would have made time to write. This blog lost its purpose to me. … Continue reading A new path

Can’t stop, won’t stop

18 April 2016Leave a comment

After my marathon prep got messed up in 2015, I decided to give up (half) marathons. As I'm getting older and my body is aching much quicker than it used to. I decided it was the smartest thing to do... But the heart wants, what it wants. Ain't no arguing with that. It all started … Continue reading Can’t stop, won’t stop

Some goals, recovery almost done

3 January 2016Leave a comment

Oh crap. I didn't realize that my last post was from October. Oops. But ya know, work, study, training, more work, more study, a lot of study. I don't like Newyears' resolutions, but I really hope to write more often than I did in 2015. Update so far: My back feels much better, still not … Continue reading Some goals, recovery almost done

No goals, just recovery

26 October 2015Leave a comment

About five weeks ago I hurt my back again. During my one and only holiday this year. I'm not kidding. Despite my back problems, getting a cold and the rainy weather I really enjoyed my holiday. It felt like holiday, it just felt good. Sea, beach, surfing, yoga, good food, fine wine. I couldn't wish … Continue reading No goals, just recovery

#last Oslo Diary

27 July 201527 July 2015Leave a comment

I'v been away too long and I'm so sorry! It has been very busy and really busy and it were challenging times for me. I thought about my running plans a lot. As you know, I've been injured for a couple of weeks. Since three weeks I'm allowed to go at it again, not at … Continue reading #last Oslo Diary

There's always room for a yoga mat It fits just perfectly πŸ€Έβ€β™‚οΈ And boy! Did I need that today Calm the body Calm the mind Let it aaaaaaallll go Breathe in Breath out And breathe a little more #namaste #yoga #calm #relax #mondaystruggles #mondaymotivation #triathlontraining #tritraining #triathlon #asthmaathlete #humansoftriathlon #iracelikeagirl #crossfitgirls #fitdutchies #fitgirls #becomeabetteryou #createyourlife #badassladygang #compassion #strong #bestill #wanderlust #businesstravel #hotellife
Look at her going!!! Pushing haaaaard! Make them legs burn! It's kinda stupid my bike on Zwift is way better Than my real life bike πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ When everyone today was riding outside I was recovering from my very challenging swim training And doing some garden work And all the other chores I had put off this entire weekend And I'm not yet ready mentally for my outside bike season I crashed pretty hard last at my first ride of the season last year It was painful and pretty scary πŸ€” So tonight a short but spicy ride on my Tacx #badassladygang #triathlontraining #triathlon #triathlete #tritraining #fitdutchies #fitgirls #fitfam #fit #cycling #cyclist #womencycling #womenonbikes #asthmaathlete #createyourlife #progress #crossfitgirls #crossfit #ironman #703ironman #timetotri #humansoftriathlon #strava #zwift #cyclinglife #gozwift #iracelikeagirl #fitat40 #swim #swimming #zwift
Easy 90 minutes spin Listening to a Calm masterclass About creative living beyond fear A perfect Saturday night (a sushi date sounds perfect too) At least for me I don't mind being on my own on a Saturday night and work towards a goal I don't mind reading a book on my own Or treating myself with a lovely breakfast on a Saturday morning The times on my own make me appreciate it even more when do have social interactions with dear friends People don't always understand this They think I must be bored not having a vibrant social life Or they feel sorry for me being alone a lot A lot of people fear solitude It can be unsettling and awkward But the solitude nurtures my soul It gives me opportunity to set my goals What do I want from life? What do I really love to do? And of course taking all the naps I want It's OK to be the weird one It's more than ok to listen to your needs It's more than ok to create the life you want & need . . . . #badassladygang #triathlontraining #triathlon #triathlete #tritraining #fitdutchies #fitgirls #fitfam #fit #cycling #cyclist #womencycling #womenonbikes #asthmaathlete #createyourlife #unapologetic #progress #crossfitgirls #crossfit #ironman #703ironman #tattoo #humansoftriathlon #strava #zwift #cyclinglife #gozwift #iracelikeagirl #fitat40 #solitude

Je hulp is hard nodig!

A reminder to myself And whoever needs it As I lay here on my yoga mat Wondering and contemplating I've been feeling like a mess With good days With bad days And everything in between You can cry and be happy at the same day You can be strong and feel scared at the same time You can be hesitant and do it anyway You can fuck it up and still be a badass You don't have to have it all figured out To be happy Cry Laugh Yell Be mad Be happy Be angry Be you Take your time Take up your space Do what you love If don't know what it is Go figure it out Try a 100 things Fail at everything And go take that nap if you need it Sleep is important And if you read this all I love you πŸ–€ #running #runner #badassladygang #halfmarathon #triathlete #createyourlife #crossfit #runnersofinstagram #timetotri #humansoftriathlon #fitgirls #fitfam #fitdutchies #instarunner #winterishere #trailrunning #nature #outsideisfree #iracelikeagirl #fitat40 #progress #selfcare #growth #selfmastery #kind #humble #beyou #yoga #namaste #selfie
It finally stopped raining Had a lovely run in the forest Been a while since I ran in the forest It was fun... Until suddenly my IT-band started acting up And it hurt like hell all of a sudden Really hope it's not a injury 😬 Did enjoy nature and being outside though And happy to wear sort of waterproof trail running shoes πŸ˜… #running #runner #badassladygang #halfmarathon #triathlontraining #tritraining #triathlete #createyourlife #asthmaathlete #asthmarunner #crossfitgirls #crossfit #runnersofinstagram #runningjunkies #timetotri #humansoftriathlon #fitgirls #fitfam #fitdutchies #instarunner #winterishere #trailrunning #nature #outsideisfree #iracelikeagirl #fitat40 #progress
