MCM Mama Runs for Beer and Bling
Thank you to Bob’s Red Mill and Fit Approach for sponsoring this post. Here we go again: time to kick off training for the Marine Corps Marathon. And Virginia has been doing her best to remind me why I always say I’m done with fall marathons. I mean, who likes to run in 90% humidity?…
Confession: I’ve fallen off the running wagon. Life has just been crazy. Not necessarily busier than usual, but just more things from different directions. It’s like trying to keep 1000 balloons in the air rather than five balls – they move slower but there are so many more of them! I have, however, been doing an…
How is it only Thursday? It feels like this week has been a month long. Of course, I’ve managed to cram a crazy amount of things into the last few days. Seriously, since last week, I’ve gone on an all day field trip, taken Shoo to soccer practice, attended the RNR DC expo, gone on…
We all know that I love to run. And lately (well, until Snowzilla arrived), I’ve gotten back into my old gym habit of elliptical and weights. But judging by the way my jeans are fitting and the number on the scale, the saying “you can’t out exercise a bad diet” is definitely a fitting one…

You know how “they” say you can’t out-exercise a bad diet? Well, I’m here to tell you it’s true. I managed to gain a whole lot of fluff while I was running crazy miles for the five halves in five days. I’ve managed to keep it on, despite working out more intensely and actually using…
Whew, that’s a lot to throw in one post… Recently I was given a bunch of different Honest Tea products to try. At the same time I was approached by Adventure to Fitness about getting one of their Fit Family packs (and giving one of them to a reader.) Since Adventure to Fitness has partnered…
I’ve mentioned in passing that I was going to do a sugar detox for a week with Mommy Run Fast and some other bloggers. I LOVE sugar. No really. I’d be happy to eat nothing but sweets. And once I start eating sugar? I can’t stop. I’ll keep grazing on sweets until I don’t feel…
Recently I was contacted with the opportunity to try out “The Simply Bar.” I had heard about them on various blogs and I happened to be attempting to add extra protein to my diet plus eat more frequently. While I was mostly focused on clean, whole foods, I’d had a few instances where I hit…
