Five Spring Races I’m Running

April 14, 2016 by MCM Mama 18 Comments

Five Spring Races I’m Running

I didn't plan for a crazy spring of races. Really, I didn't. But somehow I got the bright idea that I should aim for Mercury with Half Fanatics by running 23 states in 365 days. After all, I ran 6 half marathons in 6 states in September and I'm running 7 half marathons in 7 states in May. What's 10 more states? Except I did a really poor job of planning and somehow only got one state between mid September and mid March. Oops? So, this spring has been really, umm, intense. I've already run RNR DC, UC Half, and the Maryland Rail Trail half. And for good measure, I threw in the 17.75k to get my golden ticket AKA entry in to the Marine Corps Marathon. For those keeping track at home, I've had one weekend off since I ran RNR. So, here are the … [Read more...]

Medals so nice I’d earn them twice

Medals so nice I’d earn them twice

I don't know how people commute to work. I drove an hour plus each way on Monday night for a work event and I'm TIRED! I mean, I used to commute about an hour, but most of that was on the metro and somehow that's easier than driving. So apologies if this post is a bit loopy (or as goofy as the title LOL). Anyways, it's Tuesdays on the Run again and today's topic is "your favorite medal". I have kind of a lot of medals (with 46 half marathons and 5 full marathons under my belt, one would expect that.) Even so, there are a few that I love. You know one of those is MCM (ok, maybe 2). I'm kind of excited to add a third one this year... And the Mainly Marathon medals that just keep getting longer... 5,5,6 and now 7 in … [Read more...]

Confession: I’m a race shirt hater

Confession: I’m a race shirt hater

I run a lot of races. A.LOT. And I don't wear a single race shirt on a regular basis. Am I the only one? Or is there a race I should run because the shirt is just that awesome? That's what we want to know here at Tuesdays on the Run. In 2013, I actually got a few shirts I liked. But I turned them into a quilt that I LOVE instead. Since then, I got a really awesome shirt from Marine Corps. Except it was made for someone with the worlds teeniest neck. I do plan to get it converted to a half zip, as many runners did, so that I can wear it without choking. (And the first MCM shirt I got is in the only color of green that looks awful on me.) I do like the Mainly Marathons shirts because they are so unique, but two of … [Read more...]

Who is MCM Mama?
A slightly obnoxious mom and wife who loves good beer and running, who struggles a bit with depression especially in the winter and when running isn’t allowed, who’d rather go on a fun vacation than upgrade the kitchen or add a master bath, and has a minor addiction to the Marine Corps Marathon.

Half Marathon #85: Appalachian Series – South Carolina

Mainly Marathons Appalachian Series – South CarolinaMarch 27, 20222:47:45 What I wore: hat, tank top, long sleeve quarter zip, capris, and Altra Rivera Location: Seneca, SC (State #41!)
