Introducing Happy Feet Guest Blogger of the Week: Eva

Very proud to introduce the first official guest blogger here @ Happy Feet in the Netherlands - my soul/solesister Eva, blogger @ Little Eve is trying to Grow Up.  You could follow her at Twitter via @LittleEveGrows and get updates of her adventures via the FB Page Little Eve is trying to Grow Up.

She recently ran her debut marathon in Berlin, with an impressive time of 4:10:02! You could read all about how her unforgettable weekend in Berlin went from her very engaging post: My First Marathon.

Saturday, I'll be posting her blog recap of last Sunday's Sloterpasloop,  her first 5K race, a week after her first marathon.

Tuesday, you could read her short running biography, which she wrote before we ran together as team members in the first ever relay marathon event during the 27th Hamburg Marathon, 29th of April, 2012.

It would be interesting to read this running biography because Eva wrote it then (April 2012) from a perspective of someone who has yet to run a marathon (ran September 2013).  She wrote it with thoughts of running a part of a full marathon (as a member of relay team of 4) together with hundreds who are running the full distance. 

We were all nervous, excited and came out triumphant from the experience or running a relay marathon! Triumphant after the event, and a year later - we were both full marathon runners! :)

Wednesday, I would like to share a short story of how we met, and the high moments of running adventures we had together.

So tune in for a week/week-end of Eva!

Congratulations again, TT (our nickname for each other) on finishing Berlin, and reaching your goal beyond your expectations!
