meisjes van vijftig houden van pindakaas

Waarom heet pindakaas geen pindaboter?

Geplaatst op 03/04/2103/04/21 door Meisje van 50Geef een reactie op Waarom heet pindakaas geen pindaboter?

In Engeland heet het peanut butter, in Frankrijk beurre d’arachide en in Spanje is het mantequilla de maní. Dus waarom heet pindakaas in het Nederlands niet ook gewoon pindaboter? Verder lezen “Waarom heet pindakaas geen pindaboter?” →

Sometimes you have to stop and smell the roses. Ev Sometimes you have to stop and smell the roses. Even during an interval work out. It's early morning, the park is quiet. Rabits are darting left and right in front of me and there he is. Sitting behind the piano. I stopped dead, silenced my headphone and just stood there. He brought stillness with his music. The birds singing along with him. He only noticed I was there because I thanked him for his music. For the smile he brought to my face. That's beauty right there. He created his own world and let me in for just a short while.

I've been telling myself for years, I'm not a morn I've been telling myself for years, I'm not a morning person. But this morning i got up at 6am (yikes, yes i know its Sunday), I got on my bike to join a great group of people for 1 hour meditation 🧎‍♀️and some inspiring conversations. I was so relaxed I challenged myself with 1 hour of kickboxing.🤼‍♂️ Nothing like annoying your trainer to wake up properly (sorry, Vahid!) , but @lentemichels put me straight with her Yin yoga class. 🧘‍♀️

And just like that I started  a new morning ritual. Getting up earlier I mean, I won't be doing kickboxing every day 🤣 With thanks to @sportrusten.nl I now am starting my days way earlier, motivated and more energetic. 💪So, how is your Sunday going? Have a blast y'all.

I was listening to the 10 percent happier podcast I was listening to the 10 percent happier podcast today with Mary frances O'Connor about grief. Her words resonated with me. And made my own process so much clearer.
 She clarified that it takes a long time for the brain to update. For the brain to understand that the world works a bit differently, now my husband is no more here. It doesn't mean he is not with me anymore. He is. And how can he not be, after 36 years of marriage? . I will always have a part of us with me. He is with  me when I put on a dress I know he liked. Or even when I put on a pair of boots I  know, he positively would have hated😁. My love for him continues, so that part of me that was us, will too. Her words comforted me immensely.

That moment of grief I feel, when I see his handwriting, or hear his voice in my head, or I need his advice, that awareness of loss is here. But luckily not all the time. Not every moment. And it definitely doesn't take away my enjoyment in life. Its just, I have to redefine myself. And that will take a while. That doesn't mean I have to let go of the part that was us.  But by the Gods it still hurts. 🙏 

P.S. the book of Mary Frances O'Connor is called the grieving brain.

@loopleeuwarden ! What a great parcours. Tranquil, @loopleeuwarden ! What a great parcours. Tranquil, friendly (and enthusiastic) people and beautiful.  Organization was spot on! It was hot, especially the last hour, so no pr. But super glad I spent my weekend in Leeuwarden.  Took my time exploring the town and playing tourist.
Half marathon in the books.

Wow, seeing this picture you'd think it didn't hur Wow, seeing this picture you'd think it didn't hurt. I promise you, it did! 🤕I was able to keep up with the 4h50 pacers. Incidentally  they turnt out to be the same ones that guided me in Amsterdam to 5h01. I can't thank them enough! At 34k my stomach went into protest mode.🤢 I slowly saw the pacers get away from me and i knew that 4h50 was not to be. Not today. Rik, the ball juggling marathoner 🥳saved me with some water and I was able to slowly get back into those last 7k. Yes, it hurt, but  I didn't forget to have some fun too. And that's why I'm smiling at the finish. 2 marathons in 2 weeks, and that last one, I finally broke that magical ✨️ 5 hours barrier.  4h55 in the books. If the marathon in rotterdam taught me 1 thing, it is I shouldn't be afraid of those long runs. Apparently my body is able to recuperate much faster than I thought.  No excuse to not run them. Rotterdam,  you were true to your promise: #demooiste ! 

Also, it's with a sad heart I just deferred the Chicago marathon to 2023. Even though it's my favorite marathon, 1 week is just unwise. As coach said: you still want to run in about 5 years, right? 🏃‍♀️ right!  And with travel to London and then on to Chicago,  with jetlag and 1 week in between the 2 marathons? Nope! There is a thing that's called too much . But this also means I can fully train for a 4h45 in London! Now there is a challenge😁  Chicago! I'll see you in 2023.

Ready for @marathonrotterdam ! Really glad i booke Ready for @marathonrotterdam ! Really glad i booked a hotel for the weekend. 🚞My train got stuck behind a broken Thalys, so forget about a fast track into Rotterdam.  Since i had all day to get here, i was rather relaxed about it. But you dont want this on raceday 🤬

After Rome,  I'm really curious how my body will handle this one. I'll be treating tomorrow as a test run for October  when London and Chicago are one week apart. No stress, just a 42k long party. 💃Weather is looking good, the city of Rotterdam is energetic and buzzing. I'll be in the last wave (d^h). Good luck to the sub 3 train of @klaasboom and Koen @sportrusten100. Enjoy every mile, thats what I will do, only 2 hours behind you. Fueling done, hydration on point, @nutritape_oficial ready. Stryd and Garmin charged. I'm calling it an early night tonight.Nightie night!

These tell all, from the smiling start till the ex These tell all, from the smiling start till the exhaustion at the end. As painful as it was, I am able to walk stairs without spaghetti legs. And I am cautiously thinking about  Rotterdam on  april 10. Not completely convinced I will run it, or if I should, but I do believe my body can handle another one. Ask me in a couple of days.🏃‍♀️

Omg... this was a battlefield. But when the cobble Omg... this was a battlefield. But when the cobblestones try to trip you up, the sun is coming out in full force after 21k 🌞, and you coveniently forgot that Rome is built on 7 hills, one can only be glad to finish safely. The hills ( and the downhills) did a real number on my quads. I wont be doing any stairs the next couple of days. 🏛 best surprise? Finding family at 38k! The cheerquad flew in yesterday. I had no idea! Best motivator to get those last km done and dusted. 

The organization was spot on and had so many waterstations and sponge stations and oranjes and salt. What a great job by all those volunteers, so many of them! Despite the care, I saw a devastatingly number of runners dropping out. So scary. Kudos to the organization: there were emergency troops everywhere. 👏  well done @runrome_themarathon ! This was one for the books, not my best time for sure, but it was a great experience. 👍
So much for giving my feet some rest. I managed to So much for giving my feet some rest. I managed to get a blister, on each foot one. You know, Just so the one foot wouldn't feel left out or something. That's going to be fun tomorrow. ⏰️ Also, the clock will be moving forward one hour tonight, so that will leave me with an hour less of tossing and turning. I wonder if people will miss the start because of that? 🤔 temperatures are up, it's going to be 22c tomorrow, so I'll be packing some extra salt, have been hydrating sufficiently last couples of days and am planning to enjoy this awesome route through ancient Rome. 30 monuments will make us take a dip in the past. Thanks to @klaasboom I'm confident I will be able to finish, if the cobblestones won't trip me up that is.  I will be finding a nice park or terrace today and give my feet some rest. I'm ready to run! **********************************

Only to change into 🏃‍♀️ running gear for a very wet and even muddier 10k?  Yeah, I should feel like an idiot, instead I feel better than I did whole day. That's the running life for you.

Well, that's was a stormy 16k today! It messed wit Well, that's was a stormy 16k today! It messed with my Stryd and I had a hard time staying in the green zone. To be honest,  the wind was howling so hard all night that I almost didn't go out at all. My coach kindly reminded me of my goal: Rome marathon🏃‍♀️. The reason I so love my riverruns, is, that especially on windy days like today, you'll have side wind, head wind and tail wind. It doesnt matter which way you run,  the river meanders, so you just have to go with whatever way  the wind blows. And I was rewarded with a a beautiful sunny finish to boot! Last week, I noticed my resting ❤️ rate is finally back to the pre covid level. It's been 3 months since I hit 52 bpm. Good to notice some things are getting back to normal.

So, finally, and slowly, I'm getting back into my So, finally, and slowly, I'm getting back into my running routine again. With a new coach and a kick in the butt from some well meaning friends, I'll be preparing for the Rome marathon in March. 

📖 Klaas Boomsma said something in his book " Run for your Life"  that resonated with me: "🏃‍♂️ if the world seems threatening and peopling is too much of an effort, running takes the sting out of it and makes the world seem brighter. " 
So nothing for it, I had to get out there again. One step at the time. 

@kboom_running made a schedule for me, preparing my legs for Rome. 

👞  My feet are very happy with my new On Cloudstratus. I mean, I never walked on clouds before, but I imagine if I could, it would feel like walking on On shoes. Indeed,  I've been finding joy again in misty mornings and beautiful sunrises. The birds are singing again. They probably never stopped,  but now my ears welcome their song instead of blocking them. Bonus!

💊 In the meantime I've been diagnosed with Smouldering multiple myeloma. Even if that may sound alarming, it is not as bad as it could be. It does mean a checkup every 3 months for the next 3 years, eating healthy and keep on training. Which is what I plan to do for the next 40 years. I plan to be the oldest six star marathoner out there 😄 

So, I've asked Multiple myeloma research Foundation if they have a spot for the @londonmarathon. Of course I'll pledge to raise research money. If I learnt one thing the last couple of months it is, how devastating this disease is, and how important research. I consider myself lucky my MM is smoldering. Many are not that lucky. Let's hope  I can secure a spot for London! If so, @andylein2001 and I can pursue our 5th star. Keep on running folks!

This must have been the most conflicted birthday e This must have been the most conflicted birthday ever. Family time is everything. To spend my 55th at Disney was the best gift my kids could have imagined. For us, as a family, actually. We have so many happy memories here. We were here in May 1992 when the park opened and almost every year after that. You cant put a price tag on the stories and memories we told this weekend or the ones we made anew. 

Putting our lives at risk, racing electric steps🛴, in the bitter cold.  Paris by night, climbing the Eiffeltower🗼.
The most beautiful fireworks show in Disney, ever🎆 I have the best kids in the world 🌎 ❤️! 

Even though my heart was crying, I couldn't stop smiling.

Tomorrow will be two weeks, since my husband passe Tomorrow will be two weeks, since my husband passed away. And one week since his funeral. 

And it still hasn't sank in completely.  It's the little things that get me. Waking up in the middle of the night, asking him why the heck the television set is still on. Reaching out and finding his spot empty. Or sleeping in, way too late. And my first thought being, why didn't he wake me. And the moment I realise I don't hear the television in the living room, I know why. It hurts.

As is knowing that the big hurts will be here soon. Birthdays 🎂 Christmasses 🎄 and through the sadness I find I'm very grateful. For the 36 years we had together. For the family we raised together. For the house he built for us, the life he provided for. And the adventures we had. So many of them. And through it all, he made me a better person.

Someone told me this week, I was my husband's life buoy.  But he was just as much mine.  And now I have to swim on my own. I will. I know I won't drown,  but it will take me some time to reach shore. Be patient, y'all. Hug your loved ones and love life 💕
