We runners all have one. That RUN. The run that is always with us.
It is the run that we can trust ourselves to. It is the run that is waiting to get us back on track after an injury or absence for quite some time. It is where we go in the cool of the early morning, in the heat of a summer day, in the fading light of a setting sun. It is where we go to find peace, to seek challenges. It is where we go when we need to push, to hold back. It is a place we go to in all seasons, observing and feeling the changes, until the rhythm of the earth becomes our own, a comforting reminder of the impermanence of all things….
My Top 15 Running Facts for Newbie Runners
Hey friends! Today I have some interesting (fun too) running facts for you. ;-)
1. It’s hard at first … some will tell you even “boring” but it gets easier (fun) with time. Just don’t give up after the first run and you will be on your way to be a rockstar too! That’s how I feel every single time I run a marathon. ;-)

2 WOW years!!! … It’s has been two years of sharing with YOU mostly recipes (plant-based, energizing ones) that I still enjoy on a daily basis, two happy years of regular running and motivation, two amazing years of SELF transformation!…
How I Feel after Running My FIRST Marathon
Hooray! :-)) On Sunday I ran my first marathon. 42.195km (26.2 miles). It was, without a doubt, a HUGE success and my best race ever!!! I finished it strong, happy and in 03:48:36 placing myself 15th in my age group and 124 overall.
Don’t get me wrong, running a marathon is definitely very challenging and requires months of preparation. But if you’re willing to put in the time too, the results will follow. And they are SO worth it! Trust me on this….

Happy Monday, friends! As you know, I’ve been training for months for the BIG day

I remember when I took up seriously running – only a year ago – I was obsessing over blogs, running magazines, running books, even asking every runner I’d meet – anything to quickly learn the right way to run and to avoid injuries at all costs….
