I didn’t plan to participate in Miss Zippy’s Year in Running post this year, because I have a number of “wrap up” posts coming in the next couple of weeks. However, Patty, April, and I decided to make this a free week and I couldn’t resist since I did this in both 2013 and 2012. …

Tuesdays on the Run: Will Run for Bling!
Obviously, running for bling is a topic near and dear to my heart. After all, my blog is called “MCM Mama runs for beer and bling.” And since I wrote about beer (cupcakes) yesterday, today is a good day to talk about bling with Patty and April and all of our awesome #TuesdaysontheRun participants. [Tweet…
What a lovely day for a run… or not
Pouring rain? Thunder and lightning? Code red air quality? High heat? Freezing cold? Winds that could blow you off the planet? Which one of these have you raced in? That’s right, today’s topic for Tuesdays on the Run, is “Worst Race Conditions.” When Patty, April, and I started discussing this topic, I was like “oh,…
Tips for running outside in the winter
Today’s topic for Tuesdays on the Run is cold weather running. Since both Patty and April are from warmer locations, I can’t wait to see what they write LOL. I, on the other hand, am a Wisconsin girl at heart and refuse to embrace my inner southerner. I am totally going to ignore the fact…
Tuesdays on the Run: Amphipod handheld water bottle
It’s Tuesdays on the Run again! Today we are talking about our favorite running products, so join Patty, April, and me by linking up a post about one of your favorites. I had a surprisingly hard time figuring out what to write for this. If I find something I like, I tend to talk about…
Tuesdays on the Run: Race etiquette
April, Patty, and I put out a call for topics a few weeks ago and one that got tossed around as a favorite was “Race Etiquette” (or pet peeves.) I totally planned to write a snarky post about my pet peeves, but I’m still basking in my post Mainly Marathons race glow. I swear, running…
Tuesdays on the Run: Where has my running gone?
Today’s topic for Tuesdays on the Run is anything running related. It was just one of those weeks where Patty, April, and I were scraping the bottom of our creativity well. Sadly, my running is going about as well. I used to love running. I never had to push myself to get out the door….
Tuesdays on the Run: My other favorite distance
When Patty, April, and I decided to make this week’s topic Favorite Race Distance, we all know what I thought I’d write about. Yes, I am addicted to half marathons. Yes, I do run them quite frequently (15 this year so far…). No, I can’t quit them. But, if I were to be totally honest,…
Join us for “Tuesdays on the Run!”
A few months ago, I joined up with two other mamas to start a fun link up called Tuesdays on the Run. It’s a fun little link up and it acts as my “reader” each week. Yes, I have to admit, ever since the Google reader went away, I haven’t found a reader I love. …
Tuesdays on the Run: Taking it off road
Do you run obstacle races? Or maybe you are a fan of Color Runs? Or do you break up your running with other sports and do triathlons? Today’s topic on Tuesdays on the Run is “Adventure”. Patty, April, and I want to know how you shake things up and step out of the road running…
Tuesdays on the Run: Fall Races
When Patty, April, and I came up with this topic for Tuesdays on the Run, I really expected that I’d have a lot of races on my calendar. After all, I ran 13 half marathons last year and 16 half marathons so far this year. One would think I’d stay true to form and run…
Tuesdays on the Run: Ragnar Training
Today’s topic for “Tuesdays on the Run” is Costumes: Yes or no. My answer? I’d wear one, but I have never actually done so. End of post. Now I’ll go take a nap. No? Ok, well, check out my cohosts, Patty and April, because I think both of them have actually worn them. And I’ve…
