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…
Thank you DuClaw Brewing for sponsoring this post and sending me the DuClaw Sour Me This. All opinions and the Blueberry Cheesecake Parfait recipe are my own. Welcome to another edition of “Cooking with Beer”! Each month DuClaw Brewing sends me a beer and a friend and I create a recipe. It’s a fun time to think…
Today on Tuesdays on the Run, our topic is “Running items you use for non-running purposes”. Since I wrote pretty much that exact post last spring, I figured it would be a bit redundant to do so again. And you all know that I haven’t worn anything but Skirt Sports skirts since it warmed up…
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,…
ZOOMA Annapolis 2017 June 3, 2017 2:23:16 Temp: Warm What I wore:hat, tank top, a Skirt Sports Happy Girl, Feetures socks, and Altra Escalante (Note that I changed my outfit at the very last moment and did not wear compression socks…) ZOOMA Annapolis 2008 was the first half marathon I ever ran. I made some rookie mistakes…
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…
At the end of each month, we’ve been asking you to rate your running month as part of Tuesdays on the Run. As we close out June, I’m also going to check in on my annual goals too. As far as June goes, it started off strong and then flatlined. My body didn’t bounce back…
Heartland Series: Iowa June 1, 2017 2:23:21 Temp: Low 50s to mid 60s What I wore:hat, tank top, a Skirt Sports Happy Girl, compression socks, and Altra Escalante Because the Illinois race and Iowa race were literally across the river from each other, we were able to stay in the same hotel for two nights. This meant…
