MCM Mama Runs for Beer and Bling
I’m not one to stay up super late on NYE, but ironically, last night I was up late thanks to insomnia. Thank you 2020 for one last kick in the teeth. So, I’m up a bit later than normal and sucking down caffeine like it’s my job. Seems appropriate to hook up with Deb and…
2020 has been a year of major ups and downs. In some ways, it’s been the hardest year of my life, but there have been some really amazing things as well. Beer Geek and I got to go on vacation in Bermuda before the world shut down and we celebrated 25 years of marriage. Jones…
I’m a big believer in probiotics. I have taken various ones over the years and have definitely felt better when I’m taking them consistently. And if you do any research, there are plenty of studies out there that confirm the potential benefits of probiotics, such as supporting gut health and vaginal balance. But the hard…
6 days into November and I’m about ready to mainline coffee. That’s a thing, right? OK, probably not, so I’ll just make another big cup to get me through the day while I join Coco and Deborah for a little chit chat. If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that I’m so glad to…
It’s that time of the month again – time to confess all of our running/fitness sins with Marcia over at Marcia’s Healthy Slice. I must runfess that I have been meaning to write more than twice a month for a while now, but I’m finding that I’m definitely suffering from pandemic brain. I only have…
Ok, let’s be honest, the meetup may be virtual, but the coffee is absolutely not. I’m pretty sure I would not survive without coffee to start my day. I’m joining Deb and Coco for a virtual meetup – some day I’ll get to meet up for real with people again. If we were having coffee,…
September is usually one of my favorite months (October is my #1 favorite), and this year that holds true, sort of. The weather in Virginia has been awesome, but so many other things have been challenging, that it’s hard to appreciate the weather. I’m joining up with Marcia for a few runfessions (and maybe a…
I can’t believe it’s September already. In some ways, it feels like it’s been years since life was “normal”, but in others, it feels like the year is just flying by! I also can’t believe I haven’t posted since the last time we had coffee. Gone are the days when I posted 5 days a…
But I’m drinking it anyways. I don’t mind iced coffee, but I much prefer the hot stuff. I definitely need a coffee date though, so I’m combining the monthly coffee date with Deb and Coco and weekly run down this week. If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that my hip suddenly decided it…
How on earth are we at the end of another month? I mean, I’m never a fan of Virginia in July, but I can’t believe it’s already over. It was a busy month, but in a totally different way than normal. I’m joining Marcia for a few runfessions to close out July. I must runfess…
Apparently I was gone for the whole month of June. I’m not even sure what I did or where I went or why I didn’t write. I think, like many right now, I’m still trying to find some semblance of “normal” in the current situation. So, I’m going Deb and Coco for a little bit…
Here we are, a crazy number of days into Virginia’s Stay at Home order. Today, the Northern Virginia area began Phase 1, which means more things will be open at reduced capacity and with masks required in establishments. To be honest, it’s not really going to change my behavior (we are super careful), including that…
