I’m so good at tapering that I don’t even need to train before I do it. Oh, wait… In case you haven’t guessed it, today’s topic for Tuesdays on the Run is “tapering”. It’s that time of year – Marine Corps Marathon is just days away and many other marathons are going on in the…

My First Race: St. Patrick’s Day 8K

Blog Spotlight: Just Trying is for Little Girls
As you can see, I’ve decided to start a new feature on my blog. The feature is “Half Crazy Moms” and I’m going to focus on moms who have run multiple half marathons. If you’d like to be featured, shoot me an email at mcmmamaruns at gmail.com. I will likely do one or two a…
Where should I run?
I’m feeling a little rough this morning. Beer Geek and I went out last night and I had three beers over the course of the evening. I woke up hung over this morning. WTH? Pretty sure it’s because I didn’t eat until after we drank, so beer on an empty stomach tore me up. Sometimes…
And then I went running…
You’d think I’d have figured it out by now. After all, I used running to recover from postpartum depression. Running is mood altering. It’s a feel good drug. For me, it’s straight up my anti-depressant. Yesterday I was struggling. I seriously felt like all the negative things I listed in my post were insurmountable. And…
Three Things Thursday
1. I won’t tell you how late I was working last night. I’ll just show you how awesome it looked at night. 2. Don’t forget my Simply Snackin giveaway. Enter now! 3. That’s it. I’m so tired I barely know my name. I can only imagine what Sunday will bring. But honestly, I’m having so.much.fun.
Girls’ Weekend Half Marathon
A while ago K from Just Trying is for Little Girls mentioned she wanted to do the Flying Pirate Half Marathon as her North Carolina race. Somehow, G, T, and I were all able to clear our schedules and join her. We met in Richmond and headed down to the Outer Banks. We made good…
Running for Boston
Words don’t fail me often, but today they do. I wish I had something profound to say, but the thoughts that have been swirling in my head since yesterday afternoon refuse to be corralled into a coherent post. I am saddened by what happened. And the fact that it appears that spectators were the group…
TTT: Running!, Randomness, & Foodie Penpal Reveal
1. I ran! 3 whole miles!!! I even sort of followed the rules my chiro gave me. I felt like I was hyper aware of what was going on with my body, which can be kind of depressing when you feel tons of little twinges and random pains. Thankfully, for the most part, my calf…
Fast healing
I think my chiropractor was a bit shocked at how good my calf was today. No pain, very little soreness even when he was digging around, and he said it felt nice and loose. But, you know, my body didn’t want him to think his job was done, so it threw in some tightness in…
iFitness phone/ipod armband review
You may have noticed something in nearly all of my race pictures since April – a new armband. I don’t run with music, but I do run with my cell phone on 99% of my runs and races. Why? Because I feel safer plus I am often running while my kids are at school and…
