MCM Mama Runs for Beer and Bling
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…
Yes, I realize we are already more than a week into 2020. But mentally, with the way the holiday fell this year, it feels like 2020 started last Monday. So, I’m only a week behind in figuring life out. It’s going to be an interesting year, with some things still very up in the air….
National Women’s Half MarathonMay 5, 20192:26:57 Temp: low 60s and rainyWhat I wore:hat, tank top, a Skirt Sports Lotta Breeze Skirt, compression socks, and Altra One 2.5 I ran this race last year and enjoyed it, so when I got the chance to get the race for ~$40 for 2019, I jumped on it. But…
I have to admit that when I realized today was Runfession Friday, I freaked out a little. I mean, how could it be the end of the February already??? Thankfully we have almost a week left, so I’m not quite as far behind as I thought I was (I just finished sending my tax stuff…
In 2018, I didn’t sit down and come up with specific goals for the year. So, it should come as no surprise that I feel like I didn’t really move forward in most areas of my life last year. I’m not disappointed about that as I spent most of the year trying to find a…
One of my favorite parts of traveling in a foreign country is to go for a run while we are there. It’s a great way to combine getting some exercise with doing a bit of sightseeing. But not every location is conducive to a safe run and even those that are, requires some thought before…
Coffee time! I don’t often make it for a coffee date with friends these days, but I’m trying to be better about being social. So, I’m joining up with Deborah and Coco for a virtual coffee date. I managed to get a run in with Deborah recently and ran into Coco at an event, so I’m even doing some…
Petersburg Half Marathon April 21, 2018 2:14:01 Temp: mid 40s to low 50s What I wore:hat, tank top, Reebok half zip, , a Skirt Sports Happy Girl, compression socks, and Altra One 2.5 Apparently the theme for this spring is “what the heck do I wear?” I was really torn on how many layers to…
At the beginning of the year, I set up one big scary goal: Take each day as it comes. Roll with the punches and keep on moving forward with a smile on my face. I’ve struggled with accepting that. The planner in me wanted everything on paper (yes, I still use a bullet journal –…
This past week was all kinds of crazy, thanks to the weather predictions. I got the bright idea last week to drive down to Raleigh with Shoo to run RNR Raleigh since Beer Geek and Jones were going on a trip. Well, the crazy weather canceled their trip (they were going on a road that…
How are we nearing the end of March already? I feel like we have been in the middle of winter all month and now suddenly April is days away. Of course the fact that it has felt like winter for much of March this year might have something to do with it. As we roll…
Here we are, two weeks into 2018, and I guess what? I have no idea what the year will bring. At this point in time, I’ve registered for 1! race – the Frederick Half Marathon. I’ve bought no plane tickets and made no travel plans. While I am far from a type A personality, I…
