Welcome to Sanity Strides!
My name is Hermi and I am the proud content owner of this blog.
I am a South African living in the Netherlands since January 2019. I love my family and the simple things in life bring me my greatest joy. I am a morning and outdoorsy person and therefore I love to run early in the morning. Experiencing the calm of daybreak is something that I can never grow tired of and it inspires me daily to go for my runs.
Although I miss the African sun (and the abundance of great wine), Europe has not disappointed. I love traveling and experiencing the different cultures that Europe has to offer. Each town brings new sights to see, food to eat and running routes to try! I am lucky enough to share these new and exciting experiences with my travel and running partner. He also happens to be my husband.
I am definitely not a famous runner, the fastest runner, or anyone special in running circles. What I lack in speed I make up for with my passion for running and life. Running helped me to find my sanity 9 years ago…hence the name ‘Sanity Strides’. Because of this, I am forever committed to my running shoes!
Sharing my experiences and knowledge on running and living a healthy life was the motivation for starting this blog. I have personally experienced the benefits of running and I aspire to add value that will lead readers closer to their running shoes and their sanity. Happy reading and happy running!
