- I have completely embraced having a quieter social media and blogging presence this year, and it feels good… but a bit odd. I’m a recovering oversharer (can I say I’m in recovery yet?) and while I appreciate the time back from not documenting and sharing so much… yeah, it just feels strange. Like I’m forgetting to do something (but happy I am not at the same time).
- Something I didn’t share last week – I did my long run on Saturday and felt so good! I rode with Steven to the office and ran home from there, adding in a loop at the preserve to get to 16 miles.
- Steven started running again a few weeks ago! Exciting! I want to run with him, but still get my marathon training miles in, so we’ve worked out a few scenarios that allow me to do that – it’s basically either me running to the preserve from the house and him joining me later to run, or us driving to the preserve and running together, then me running home while he drives home.
- Our Europe trip is starting to feel SO real and I’m getting SO excited! A lot of unwelcomed (is it ever welcomed?) anxiety was making it hard for me to get excited, but I’ve gotten close enough to the trip now that that’s going away and I am super pumped to see my friends, eat yummy foods, and see several new cities!
- I’m struggling to learn Dutch by memorization. I do well with an alphabet, formally learning how to conjugate verbs, and knowing the WHY behind things. You can’t just tell me some nouns are “de” nouns and some are “het” nouns and I just have to memorize it (de and het mean “the”). Ha. I’m trying though! Ik spreek een beetje Nederlands!

I am trying really hard not to over-document when I’m doing things. It just feels so weird to me. I want to take pictures of EVERYTHING. How else will I remember them?!
So excited for your trip! I always have so much anxiety leading up to any sort of travel, so I understand you.
Same! When I go to download photos off my phone I hardly have anything anymore (not even that many photos of the cats! :o!!!)
Thanks for getting me. It’s like… uncontrollable! UGH!
Blogging and how much to share definitely ebbs and flows. Sometimes I’m really into it AND I have the time to write down my ramblings, sometimes I’m not into it and/or don’t have the time. It’s all good.
Marathons! Europe! Lots of exciting stuff coming up.
You get me! And it totally is!
Yes! I am really excited for the next few months!
Wow! It sounds like your marathon training is going well. Go you! I hope you’re proud of yourself for how hard you’re working.
Thank you! It is and I am!!!!
I’ve been learning Dutch for over 30 years and I still get mixed up with “de” and “het” nouns! (Plus I am too lazy to memorize stuff) So, no pressure!
Stefaan and I were just in Brussels yesterday evening and I was getting excited about showing you guys around there when you’re here!!!
Very cool that Steven started running again 🙂
That makes me feel so much better. Thank you for saying that! I am enjoying learning it. Now I am learning comparisons like “Zij heeft geen kat, maar ik wel.”
Yay!!! I cannot wait!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
