MCM Mama Runs for Beer and Bling
As I’ve mentioned before, I live in the land of the big Expo. With races like Marine Corps Marathon, Army 10 Miler, and RNR DC, there are plenty of opportunities to head to big expos and find things I never thought I needed. Since today’s topic for Tuesdays on the Run is best race expo…
Have you ever dreamt that you slept through your alarm before a race? Or dreamt that you took the wrong shoes (or two shoes from different pairs)? Or woken up with your heart racing because you forgot where your race was? No? Are you sure you are a runner? I only ask because it seems…
Welcome to the last “Tuesdays on the Run” for 2015! I can’t believe the year is coming to an end already. Wasn’t it just yesterday that I got the bright idea to run two marathons in a weekend? (Oh wait, no, yesterday’s harebrained idea was to run a 24 or 48 hour race next December.)…
This is my favorite post that I write each year. Not so much the actual writing of the post, but because I have so much fun re-reading many of the posts I wrote the rest of the year. It’s always a good way to remember that I live a pretty awesome life and that my…
DFL: Dead F%^%ing Last DNF: Did Not Finish DNS: Did Not Start Pretty sure I don’t need to explain “sitting on the couch. The topic today on Tuesdays on the Run is DNF or DNS. Have you done it? What were your reasons? Did you regret your choice? I’m not sure I agree with much…
It’s Tuesday and of course that means it’s Tuesdays on the Run! Today we want to know how you handle expo purchases. Are you strategic about when you arrive to avoid the crowds (or maybe to get first pick of a cool race branded item)? Do you just go when you have a chance and…
Is there really TMI (too much information) when it comes to running? And you know that moms are totally willing to talk about topics that really are too much. (Not a mom or a runner? Trust me, hang out with either/both for any amount of time and you’ll hear things that you can’t unhear. Yep.)…
I’ve been the slackiest of slackers lately. I’ve been trying desperately to catch up with all the things I let slide during marathon training while also trying to juggle birthdays, school activities, and Shoo’s overwhelming soccer schedule. (I knew that travel soccer was a commitment, I just didn’t add in all the driving into my…
Earworm? Maybe? Today’s topic brought all sorts of songs to mind. And now this one is stuck in my head! (So, of course, I needed to share it with you all…) Today at Tuesdays on the Run, we want to know how you celebrate after a race. Are you one who hangs around the finish…
You know I like to make races part of my vacations. Heck, I like to make races the actual vacation. LOL. Luckily, Beer Geek loves to travel so he’s joined me for several Mainly Marathon series: Dust Bowl, Riverboat, and Center of the Nation. He’s also gone with me to Cape Cod (where he looked…
I have to admit, I’m still riding a bit high from finishing the Marine Corps Marathon. I was pretty sure I could do it, but I had enough doubt in my mind that I carried enough cash for a cab and also had my metro card. Yes, I believe in being prepared. Know what else…
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…
