MCM Mama Runs for Beer and Bling
Ahh, Monday, here we go again… Last week and this weekend were crazy busy again. It’s funny how having soccer commitments four days a week makes the week busy before we add anything else. But I’m doing my best to actually capture that time to do some work or workout or even just to chill…
I think I may still be a bit tired from my Runner’s World weekend. Why do I think that? Because when I thought about the topic, “Inspiring others to run”, Chicago and their song “You’re the Inspiration” immediately jumped to mind. You can thank me now for not including a video. I’m sure that Marcia…
Is the song stuck in your head now? You all know I’ve been trying to get over bronchitis in time for Marine Corps Marathon. My training has been completely upended because of it. Running has been a struggle and I haven’t made it more than 4 very slow miles. I did have one fast 3 miler…
I got some exciting news the other night: I was chosen to be a 261 Fearless Ambassador! I stumbled upon the opportunity back when I was researching for my post for the Skirt Sports 261 Fearless Virtual Race. Then, and now, the mission of the organization that was started by Kathrine Switzer resonated with me….
We have awful internet connection tonight (but my phone did regain 4G literally as we crossed the border into Nebraska!), so I’m just sharing a few of my favorite photos from our trip. Thursday’s race was not my favorite, but I have 4 done! Here are my recaps for Montana and North Dakota. I hope…
We are here! Today I am running the first of 6 half marathons that are part of the Mainly Marathons’ Center of the Nations series, starting in beautiful Baker, Montana. We’ve had a busy but fun trip so far. We got up at stupid early on Saturday morning and got to the airport by 5:30am. YAWN!…
With a little bonus Wonder Woman. T-24 hours until it’s go time and I have a to do list longer than the astronauts check list. I know I’ll have a great time once I’m on vacation, but getting from here to there is a bit daunting. Thankfully, I have a packing list. I created one…
Happy 4th of July! Hope you have some fun plans for today. I’m joining up with my friends Deborah, Coco, and Lynda for a virtual coffee date. If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that today is my mom’s birthday! Happy birthday, Mom! How cool is that to have fireworks on your birthday every year? Of course,…
This past weekend, I ran my 90th race EVER. 90 races. All since I began racing in 2007. As a Skirt Sports Ambassador, I’ve been asked to write about my most “real” race ever. And I have to tell you, every single race was real. Every single race was the most real race ever. Every…
Do you prefer to log your miles alone, with only your music or your thoughts for company? Or do you have trouble getting off the couch if you don’t have a buddy waiting for you? Or are you somewhere in between? Today for Tuesdays on the Run, I’m joining my buddies April from Run the…
Do you have a favorite running book or movie? Were you inspired by Spirit of the Marathon or the old school Chariots of Fire? Is there a running book you turn to again and again for advice or just to inspire you to get out there? For today’s Tuesdays on the Run, April, Patty, and…
I’m made no secret of my love of Skirt Sports products. A skirt that is well made, cute, fits me well, and allows me to run without chafe? Sign me up. Or perhaps just take my credit card… But since I became an ambassador last year, I’ve fallen more and more in love with the…
