Ragnar Cape Cod Recap

Ragnar Cape Cod Recap

Ragnar Cape Cod was, in a word, fabulous! I was worried that it would not live up to my memories of Ragnar DC, but it did and then some. I met up with the lovely ladies of Moms Do It All Night Long at the start line early on Friday morning.  Several of us had decided to wear our DC shirts, so we looked awesome together.  I may now also own the skirt that the others were wearing... We made our way through all of the steps and then saw Deborah off at the start line. … [Read more...]

State #7: A 10K PR!

August 2, 2009 by MCM Mama 16 Comments

State #7: A 10K PR!

 Short story: Today's race was awesome and I finished in 54:49 according to Garmin (no official results yet). Settle back with a beer, the rest of the story is pretty long. Pre-race: We left DC at 7 am on Friday morning. We had decided to go the western route, rather than I-95. Travel went great for the first 5 hours. Then we started hitting rain and there was an accident that had us sitting in traffic, barely moving, for more than an hour. By the time we got to Hartford, the boys were squirrelly and we were exhausted. Unfortunately, our hotel didn't have a pool, so the boys had to settle for ottoman races down the corridor in our suite. Thank goodness we had dinner plans with a blog friend of Beer Geek's at the City Steam Brewpub. … [Read more...]

GW Parkway 10 miler race report

April 27, 2009 by MCM Mama 13 Comments

GW Parkway 10 miler race report

Short story:  I finished in 1:31:03 and PR'd by at least three minutes.  I was around 1400 out of 4000 runners and finished in the top 25% for women and for my age group. The rest of the story: The GW Parkway race begins at Mount Vernon and ends in Old Town Alexandria.  Like many point to point races, this means a shuttle.  I got up at 5 am in order to leave the house by 6 for an 8 o'clock race.  I was already tired (Jones woke up twice and Shoo wet the bed 5 minutes before my alarm went off) and in a fragile emotional state (due to the death of our friend), so when I realized how hot it was going to be, I seriously considered going back to bed. Instead, I took a quick shower, coated myself in sunblock, and had a peanut butter … [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 […]
