speaking of blue sky - wow!

it’s parkrunday! And a special happy birthday to parkrun Netherlands -six years ago, we launched the first six parkruns I believe. Unfortunately, we had to stop after only three events due to the coronavirus. My parkrun was scheduled to go live on 4 April that year…

Day 79 - a short walk after work, enough for my walk streak “rules” - 1 km a day - and another #nevermissamonday ✅ Did you get outside today? #walkstreak #dailywalk #getoutside #running

One walk a day. That’s it. A small promise to yourself that builds strength, clears your head, and reminds you that progress doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful. Step by step, you’re becoming someone stronger—inside and out. Are you #walking today? #dailywalk #getoutside #walkstreak

just done an amazing pasta workshop at The Pasta Studio in Haarlem.

what i do after parkrun 😅 sauna blanket time!

parkrun today!

in a world of competitive runners, be that parkrun participant who jogs middle or back of the back to get to know those people as well. we add value to the community and often have stories to tell. #parkrun

from my walk yesterday. it was blue hour.

it’s parkrunday!! i’m tailwalker ai i better get up and get going.

Every Friday a small group of us post a "Fit Five Friday" blog linkup. Nothing much to it and we welcome everyone to join who wants to share something fitness (mental as well as physical!) related! This week's topic is "Fitness Habits that Stick (Even when it's cold)"

does anyone know how to do this? #photography #moonphotography #iphonephotography

I realize I don't post here a lot but I want to! I remember when twitter was a good place and I met so many amazing people there, not just online but in real life. how can I make Bluesky that place for me? how do meet people who have similar interests? Or is that type of social media -

how can we capture the moon better on the iphone ?

it snowed again.

Sometimes i’m surprised at the moments i can capture whilst out walking.

a friend of mine took this photo last night in our park. The northern lights right here in Arnhem!!!

do you ever listen to an album you lovvvvvved in the 90’s and realise it no longer does that *thing* to you? this happened to me tonight listening to Leftfield’s Leftism. I still enjoyed the track with John Lyndon but the rest was “meh”.

Dolly Parton is 80 today. Instead of hoarding wealth and buying social media platforms to spread hate she spread literacy and made sure kids had books to read 🦋📚

Another round of sad news for 2026. My cousin and her son. RIP. Can we start over please?

This happens to be my cat sitters cat. looks like she has horns with the reflection of my gloves in the windows.

my baby Bas is so intriguing up close 🐈

starting the year off by hearing the sad news and old running friend and neighbor has died. Cancer is the worst. She was my age. It’s so unfair.

we need a parkrun distress hotline. what on earth are we supposed to do with no parkrun ??? 😂 sleep in? who does that???? #parkrun #loveparkrun #snow #cancelled

beautiful snowy walk today #dailyealk #walkstreak #getoutside

it was a tough year, 2025. My dad died and i had two separate foot surgeries. BUT somehow I managed 22 parkruns (I volunteer almost every week) with 4 in England, 3 in Germany and 1 in Lithuania + 3 in my own country that weren’t “home”. I also reached 100 (after almost 10 years) and got my “Cow”

sadly we had to cancel our parkrun tomorrow 😢 it’s such a bummer but the safety of everyone involved is more important!! curious if any 🇳🇱 parkruns will actually take place!! I’d love to participate but the closest ones are likely cancelled as well. #parkrun #loveparkrun

Today was Day 27 of the walk streak. Just 1 km a day as a goal. feel free to join me! #walkstreak #dailywalk #getoutside

y’all I’m back and will be posting here more instead of threads and tiktok. maybe more of you are interested in my walk streak, parkruns and my quest to start running again this year!

I just had arthrodesis or mtp fusion as it’s known! I can’t tell you how happy i am about this! 10 years of constant growing pain and i’m now on my way to a pain-free running life ! when all looks good in 3 months we’ll schedule the surgery for the other big toe. this year is less running

I know that many people make fun of Americans and how they get exited about their ancestry. Especially those claiming to be Irish or Italian or whatever. But a friend of mine (English) was researching his Welsh roots and it got me wanting to try again...

Hey Everyone. I could use your help in raising funds to renounce my US Citizenship. Will you help me? gofund.me/c778bb48

Happy Holiday Running 💟🎄🏃🏼‍♀️ #running #runner

Happy Holidays from my favorite part of my life (except of course my husband but that should go without saying) - Sonsbeek parkrun! #loveparkrun #parkrun #sonsbeekparkrun #arnhem

ok just one more post (this week) yammering on about parkrun 😅 - last night some mutual friends organized a farewell party for Clare who’s been a part of our parkrun since the very first event. Clare was so enthusiastic with events that eventually we asked her to be a part of the core team.

gorgeous morning though.

sadly parkrunday turned into notparkrunday. several of us still went for coffee though as it’s a sacred moment for us all to come together 💟 it was too icy in the park so we had to make the difficult decision to cancel. #parkrun #loveparkrun #sonsbeekparkrun🇳🇱

I want to tell a short story about how parkrun became such a “thing” for me - I started in 2016 as a “tourist” as there were no parkruns in my country at the time. My 1st parkrun was in Scotland, my 2nd - 2 years later - was in Poland. It was my 3rd one, in Palermo, Sicily where the penny dropped.

well looks like the #parkrun shoes from Brooks helped anyway 😀

it’s parkrunday! do you think i’ll be faster in my parkrun shoes? 😂
