The good, the ugly, the happy, the sad, the struggles and the successes. I wouldn’t have wanted to experience any of it without you by my side. 10 years together, and somehow stronger every day. Grateful for every adventure, every chapter, and everything still to come. Lots of love 🤍

Familiar faces. Loud cheers. Quiet smiles.

At the support station, every runner was welcomed with open hearts. Bottles were refilled, helping hands reached out, and voices carried across the morning air.

Be delusional and bet on yourself.

4 months ago I decided to leave everything I built in Europe to start from zero again.

If you know me, you know I love a challenge. This has been by far the most demanding one yet.

I left family and friends behind, and I miss them every single day. That part never gets easier, no matter how good the rest of it looks from the outside.

Just years of building something good, walking away from it, and betting on a version of my life I couldn’t fully see yet.

The hardest part wasn’t the move. It was watching everything I’d built disappear and having to prove to myself more than anyone that I could do it again from nothing.

What you’re seeing in these photos isn’t the hard part. It’s the result of it.

All the sleepless nights are finally paying off.

Somewhere in these 4 months, I found people who’ve become family in a way I didn’t expect this fast. Different countries, different pasts, same hunger for something more.

I never trusted anyone.

This is still just the beginning for me. I have the biggest plans for my future, and I’d rather chase them from here than play it safe back home.

I still have not gotten used to so many people showing up at six in the morning @chasetrackclub because one day I decided to post it on my story, but that’s for another time.

I love being delusional.

✨ Our kids’ very first Disney trip… and it truly was magical. 🏰💛

Three days of taking it slow. Wandering through the parks, enjoying the sunshine, watching the excitement on the kids’ faces, and even getting lucky with a few complimentary FastPass entrances. Definitely a win.

We stayed at the Marvel Hotel, which was an adventure on its own. The best option for Rowen, our biggest Marvel fan.

Did we do everything? Nope.
Did we need to? Not at all.

Sometimes the best memories come from slowing down instead of trying to tick every ride off the list.

Next stop… 🇯🇵 Tokyo Disney!

Run like a MAMA 🔥

Exhausted, overwhelmed & training on broken sleep… juggling motherhood, a full time job and crossing the finish line!! 💪 Super proud of myself for committing to the @btrultra 30km challenge and pushing my limit!

Thank you to everyone who supported me, believed in me, donated to @planeterracares or followed my journey along the way. It genuinely meant so much 🥹❤️

Huge love to @flowerboy.studio for the community spirit and where my running journey began 🌼

And especially @samsonmarangkey thank you for always pushing & supporting me even when I doubted myself ❤️ So grateful for you.

I HAD THE BEST TIME, BRING ON THE NEXT ONE 🏁

First of all, I want to say thank you to the incredible @flowerboy.studio community

I’m proud of myself. I only had 6 weeks of preparation after my 100 km ultra. I did everything I could in that time. And today, for me, it was really hot.
Thank you @btrultra

What I truly reinforced today:
Do it for yourself you don’t need to prove anything to anyone.

And second: be grateful to everyone who helps you the volunteers, the aid station support, the photographers, and videographers.

Today I danced, smiled a lot during the race, and enjoyed the process.

Thank you @orp_indonesia for the support and for the shoes- On Cloudultra Pro 🙏🏻

We keep going. 🚀

This will be my third trail race- 30 km.
First was 60 km (~4,000 m gain),
second was 100 km (~4,500 m gain).
These two were last year.

I like that I go through all of this myself and apply what I’ve learned from ultra running books- both in training and in mindset And by watching educational videos from the world’s top ultrarunners.

I finish all my ultra races, but I always ask myself- was it luck, or did I plan everything well: training, preparation, nutrition, strategy, and gear?
I always analyze my races.

That’s the only way to improve- both personally and as a better coach in this sport.

Remember: a great athlete isn’t always a great coach. I aim to be both.

Few communities are as welcoming as the run clubs in Bali. Every one I’ve run with holds a special place in my heart. Saying goodbye is bittersweet, but I’ll always carry the kindness, memories and magic with me💫
