Would you like to support my journey? 💛

I have been running on and off for years, but it became increasingly difficult after having children and juggling a busy job with family life. Over time, I started to feel the toll on both my physical and mental health. I was unusually tired, easily irritated, and stressed—those who know me know that this is not typical of me. It became clear that I needed to pick up sport again to feel like myself. Running felt like the most flexible and accessible option.

After a period of rebuilding my motivation, I embraced running as part of my lifestyle. I run whenever I can—after putting the children to bed, after breakfast, after dinner, or whenever a small pocket of time appears. Thanks to my supportive husband, I get even more time for evening and weekend training.

I now feel refreshed and grateful that I’ve rebuilt my condition while improving my mental well‑being. I feel especially lucky to have gotten a ticket for the Rotterdam Marathon—something I hadn’t planned, but thanks to consistent training, I feel more than ready.
