MCM Mama Runs for Beer and Bling
It’s that time of the month. No, not that one. The one where Marcia, Patty, and I rate our month in running as part of Tuesdays on the Run and we hope that you’ll join us. I have to admit that I’m not sure how to rate this month. The last Tuesday falls kind of…
Remember how I mentioned my love (0r not) of summer running? Well, despite my loathing of running in ridiculous heat and humidity, I dragged myself out on Tuesday after camp drop off and “ran” 8 miles with my training buddy. While there was some running involved, there was also a fair amount of walking up…
Give me a sunny 30* day and I can run forever. Or a spring day where 50* feels like tank top weather. Or my personal favorite – the first fall day where a long sleeve shirt is perfect. But summer? Summer is not my friend. Summer makes me feel sweaty and gross – before I…
Every year in March, I do my best to get into the Marine Corps Marathon. Every year in July or August, I curse past MCM Mama for thinking this was a good idea. It’s not that I don’t love the Marine Corps Marathon. I do. I love it so much that this will be my…
Confession: I love running in the rain, but if it’s already raining before I start, I have a hard time starting a run in the rain. In fact, I’ve been known to totally wuss out on a run if it’s raining out, despite having some of my best races be in the pouring rain. Luckily,…
Somehow it’s Tuesday again! I swear the older I get the more time flies. I spent Monday flying home from Wisconsin and I’ll confess that I didn’t get a chance to write a post about 4th of July and running before I left, so you get some random thoughts about this summer so far. Hopefully…
Or good for the soul. Something like that. How have we reached the end of June already? It seems like just yesterday I was packing for the trip with Beer Geek. Since then both kids have survived finals, Shoo graduated from elementary school, and Jones took a visit to San Diego with his grandmother. Now…
This week summer arrived with a vengeance. I don’t think we had any feels like 100*+ days, but I know that one day had a feels like of 98*. Seriously, Virginia, no need to be precocious. We do not need August weather in June, thank you very much. But we all know that the heat…
Have I mentioned before that I’m not a huge fan of summer? Give me a below freezing day over a sweltering hot day anytime. After all, I can put on more layers, but there are only so many things I can take off before someone calls the cops (or I end up with chafing in…
Confession: I hate summer. OK, let me be more specific – I hate Virginia summers. They are hot and they are humid. I swear I get reverse SAD and get depressed and never want to leave my house. Seriously, I’ve had a few summer months when I’ve barely run at all. With Ragnar and Marine…
Thank you to RaceHer for giving me the RaceHer July box to review. Right before I headed out on my racing adventures, I had a lovely gift arrive in the mail. I’d been sent the very first month’s subscription box from RaceHer to check out and share with you all. The timing was perfect as…
