Go big or go home

4 September 2018Leave a comment

In my last post I told about my insecurities and selfdoubt. Since then I really got inspired and I've got a big plan to nail that selfdoubt and insecurity. But that is not the biggest reason why I'm up for this epic big plan. Let me tell you. Once there was a former Olympic swimmer, … Continue reading Go big or go home

Starting to write this post on a very lazy Monday morning, still with a feeling of unbelieve. This weekend was the highlight of the year. My half marathon at the North Pole, Svalberd to be precise. I was filled with selfdoubt weeks prior to the race. My preparation was far from ideal. I got ill … Continue reading Arctic half Marathon

Polar Express

24 December 201724 December 2017Leave a comment

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

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

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

New Year's Eve? Well, that is when I did something really crazy. No, there was no drinking involved! Around 11 pm at New Year's Eve I signed up for my very very first marathon!
