TOTR: Goals for 2016

TOTR: Goals for 2016

Here we are again at the beginning of a new year. I've been mulling over my goals for 2016 for a while. Last year, Shoo threw a wild card into my life by making a travel soccer team. This has made racing a lot more difficult and travel out of the area complicated. I'd like to say I've figured out how to balance it with my running, but I've already booked a race on a tournament weekend for 2016. Ugh. So, without further whining, I'm joining Marcia and Patty and sharing my goals. … [Read more...]

2015 Goals in Review

2015 Goals in Review

I've done a few "year in review" posts so far this month and it appears that my year was pretty amazing. But I haven't looked back at my goals since June, so it's time to take a quick look and see which ones I met, which ones I missed, and which ones I completely forgot I had. … [Read more...]

TOTR: Fall Race Schedule

TOTR: Fall Race Schedule

Here we are, a good chunk of the way through summer. Some kids are heading back to school (not mine, sigh) You are almost half way through marathon training if you are doing a mid-late October marathon. 20 mile runs are popping up on the calendars. So, of course, Patty, April, and I want to know: What's your fall race schedule??? My schedule feels kind of light, but it's really not: 7 half marathons and 1 marathon. (OK, maybe what's bothering me that I'll only have a total of 10 races at the half or longer distance this year. No 15 in 2015 for me.) Here's my plan: Source: Mainly Marathons Center of the Nation Series: 6 half marathons in 6 states in 6 days at the beginning of September. This is another of the Mainly … [Read more...]

Tuesdays on the Run: Goals for 2015

I can't believe we are already 6 days into 2015! I've been mulling over my goals for a while now and I'm not sure I'm ready to put them on "paper", but since today's Tuesdays on the Run topic with Patty and April is goals, it's time to go public. … [Read more...]

Let’s have some coffee…

Let’s have some coffee…

Happy New Year! We just got back from our trip down south for the holidays. It was a whirlwind of a trip from DC to Jacksonville, FL to the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, and back to DC. Riding in the car for hours has left me with a brain full of thoughts that need to spill out, so I'm joining the January Ultimate Coffee Date. I … [Read more...]

Thinking out loud

Thinking out loud

I apologize in advance for the mind dump that this post will be.  If you'd like to read something coherent, pop on over to Eat Pray Run DC where I'm sharing 5 things I've learned in 20 years of marriage. (And if you like that, you should check out how marriage is like fitness...) [Tweet "Sometimes the best way to solve problems is to think out loud. #minddump #problemresolution"] So, in no particular order, here's what's swirling around in my head: … [Read more...]

How to eat the rainbow

How to eat the rainbow

Tuesday was "Eat the Rainbow" day for the Lindsay's Elf4Health challenge.  In addition, the Holiday Sweat Challenge was offering a bonus point for eating 9 fruits and veggies. As an added incentive, Beer Geek was working in the office, which meant lunch was definitely going to be brussels sprouts.  (Yes, I can only eat them when he's not home...)

TOTR: Putting the healthy in Thanksgiving

December 2, 2014 by MCM Mama 25 Comments

Today on Tuesdays on the Run, Patty, April, and I are wondering: What healthy choices did you make over the Thanksgiving holiday?  Nobody is perfect and I'll be the first to admit I enjoyed a few too many beers (Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout ON TAP, people. Of course I had some!) Ahem. I managed to make a small handful of healthy choices... … [Read more...]
