Let’s have coffee in Ithaca!

Let’s have coffee in Ithaca!

Welcome to crabby season over here at MCM Mama. Y'all know I hate the heat of Virginia summers, so I always go north as often as possible (or run off to Australia and New Zealand where it's winter.) This weekend we visited Ithaca, NY and I was greatly disappointed by how warm it was. But there's a lot going on over here, so I'm joining Deb and Coco for a coffee date. If we were having coffee, I'd tell you that we are in Ithaca to visit Cornell University. When you have a kid who loves bugs and birds, it's kind of the place to go. (I've told you about our hissing cockroaches, right?) But man, it's crazy competitive and far from cheap. But who wouldn't love to go to a school with a waterfall in the middle of campus? If we were … [Read more...]

Lifetime Half #59, State #31: New England Series – New York

Today is Tuesdays on the Run and our topic is "what you find on the road." Oddly, I've never really found anything interesting, including no money, so I don't have much to say. So, I'm going off topic and finally recapping my last race of the 7 half marathons in 7 days. New England Series: New York May 21, 2016 2:17:36 Temp: mid 50s but warmed up fast What I wore: hat, tank top, a Skirt Sports Gym Girl Ultra, Wonder Woman socks, and Altra One 2.5  This was race seven of the New England Series. (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,  Rhode Island, and Connecticut preceded it.) The race took place at the Ulster County Fairgrounds in New Paltz, NY. I had done this course before as a full marathon, but thankfully it was … [Read more...]

Running late on my runfessions

Running late on my runfessions

That seems to be the story of my life lately. I’m desperately trying to catch up on everything that fell through the cracks this fall. In the last week, I’ve had a mammogram and a skin check (both came out fine), as well as figured out our health insurance for 2020 and sent in all […]
