A healthy lifestyle blog with easy recipes and running motivation
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. After a few tries (runs), 5k seems like a lot but one day, you’ll surprise yourself telling to a friend “I only ran 5k today.” Yeah, you already kind of love it! …
The Düsseldorf Marathon deserves its place in my mind and heart as being my FIRST one, the beginning of a new life, the countdown to the next marathons, the look in my eyes when being asked about it, the turning point of this blog if you want.
As you can hopefully remember, on the 24th of April, I ran my first marathon, beat all my personal targets and have now caught the bug. The high of crossing the finish line, after 8 months of preparation, is a feeling I want to experience over and over again. Nevertheless trying to summarize a transformative experience like running your first marathon using words is almost as hard as running a marathon itself.
Here I go … 3 months later speaking from my heart….

Back in June 2014, I was thrilled to announce my very first post on the blog which was, of course, a recipe called Summery Salad. By the way, if you haven’t tried it yet, don’t waste any more precious time and get to it as it only takes 5 minutes to be prepared and requires no cooking whatsoever. ;)
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!…
Happy Monday, friends! As you know, I’ve been training for months for the BIG day
– my first marathon – Düsseldorf Marathon.
And here I am with only 6 days to go …. Oh boy! :)) Am I nervous? You bet!
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….

21.097494 kilometers OR 13.1 miles ran yesterday in 01:46:03 is a validation that I could get good at this! I mean really good! :) By the way, HAPPY Monday everyone! :)…
