In fact it would be nice to know that you would be in training for it too, especially on days you really don't want to run. I intend to do the Marikenloop too next year. It's after the half, before that I won't do any races but after that I intend to run races for fun and the Marikenloop is still on my bucket list. I have to do interval today, in the gym that is, but the thought of having to go out again once I'm home (besides the two times I have to walk Bella today) is really bothering me. So I think I'm taking the day off and do the interval on Friday and then the long run on Sunday. Do you want my half marathon schedule? I can email it to you. It's from Dutch Runners and it's really a good schedule. If you want to do Utrecht you can start at week 9 if you start next week, long run will be 10K that week which isn't a problem for you. Email me if you want to have it. xxx Of course you can do the Half of Utrecht, why not?

I just don't want to do that anymore. I really try to prepare in these cases but sometimes the stress is too much, I just go straight for the sweets. I just don’t want to do that anymore.

Maybe I should SKIP the w/i in that case! ha! Saturday I weighed in at 81.4 - three days later it was 80. Crazy weight fluctuations!! and I'm not talking about you darling - I think my rant is more about random tweets or blog posts i read and it's slightly exaggerated of course! Thanks for sticking by me, even in all my complaining! I keep changing my w/i days so that I’m sure to not see the gain after a couple of drinks or a meal out!

Maybe age is truly playing a part in this?? I am definitely going to focus on my fitness goals - I have been talking about acceptance but not really accepting yet. Moving on from the weight thing is going to save my head from exploding I think! I have looked for other job opportunities in my area, even just this weekend, but there is nothing. I probably need to make the next step to go to some proper agencies and broaden my search that way, but it's my love of the company that stops me from that. There are really only two possibilities here - move closer to work or get a new job... so whatever happens first. I have to hang in there until then... I'm going to check my schedule - I don't want to steal your thunder for the Half in Utrecht but maybe I can do it too??? Are you still going for the Marikenloop?

The feedback I am hearing is to focus on the fitness so I want to shift my mindset. Being stubborn it just takes some time to do that. thank you!!
