I don’t go without my mat and my nuun Today, I took a step outside my comfort zone. Not way, way outside, but just enough outside to challenge myself. A new yoga studio opened in Arlington recently, called Mind the Mat. As part of their opening, all classes this week were free. Who doesn’t like…

These are a few of my favorite things…
Have I mentioned that I love cold weather? Oh, yeah, only about 5,342 times. ;o) One of the things I love about the cooler weather is pulling out my warmer running clothes. I like my summer tees and shorts, but I have some awesome winter stuff. And since it’s that gift giving time of year,…
Zemgear Ninja minimalist shoe review
I recently got a chance to try out the Zemgear Ninja shoes. I’ve worn them quite a bit, but haven’t exercised in them much since they are only for use indoors and on soft surfaces. I don’t exercise indoors much during the summer and one would never call the streets by my house a “soft…
Merrell Barefoot Pace Gloves Review

Lift Your Sole Review
Back in early October, I met Jill from Lift Your Sole at the expo for the Army 10 Miler. I purchased a cord and three charms, but also mentioned to Jill that I’d love to have one with “MCM Mama” on it. I gave her my business card and promised I’d be in touch. Well,…
Ryder Hex Sunglasses review and other randomness
About a week ago, a box arrived at my doorstep. Inside, were 5 lovely pairs of Ryder sunglasses.* I was beyond excited to receive some pairs to giveaway and two pairs for me to review. After consulting all my loyal followers and my darling husband, I chose a black pair of the Hex sunglasses. I’ve…
Speaking of plans + POM review
My running week starts on Monday (mostly because I track my runs on Running Ahead and that’s when they start the week.) So, I made my plans for the week, knowing that Beer Geek would be out of town. My plan for the week: Monday – 3 miles on treadmill after kids go to bed…
