Marine Corps Marathon 2017: Mission Accomplished

October 23, 2017 by MCM Mama 13 Comments

Note that I chose MCM’s wording of “Mission Accomplished” rather than “Goal Accomplished”. Finish time: 4:57:17.

I ran. I finished. I learned some lessons about myself and about running a marathon.

Marine Corps Marathon #4 in the books. Marine Corps Marathon #5 next year will be a love run, not a redemption run.

More on all of this in a day or two.

    Maybe I’ll join you! MCM is a race that I feel compelled to conquer (or, at the very least, experience).

      It was warm, especially the last 6 miles that have basically no shade.

Who is MCM Mama?
A slightly obnoxious mom and wife who loves good beer and running, who struggles a bit with depression especially in the winter and when running isn’t allowed, who’d rather go on a fun vacation than upgrade the kitchen or add a master bath, and has a minor addiction to the Marine Corps Marathon.

Coffee with a side of rain

Coffee with a side of rain

Apparently I only write coffee posts when I’m in Michigan. I guess my body is hard wired to wake up early, but the college kid has no interest in an early wakeup call. I’d run, but it’s raining and I did not bring the right running clothes, so here I sit. I’m joining Deb and […]
