MCM Mama Runs for Beer and Bling
Sorry, guys, this one is for the girls. I’ve been running for a long time. I ran sporadically during college, as part of a varied workout plan post college and pre kids, and regularly for the last 21 years. As you can imagine, my body has changed a lot in that time (including a 50…
Two years ago I took a leap of faith and signed on with ZOOMA Women’s Race Series. Originally I was managing the ambassador program, but Sarah invited me to travel to the Texas race in March of 2018. It’s been a wild and crazy ride since then, but somehow earlier this month, I took the…
How is it the end of August? Wasn’t the beginning of the summer just yesterday? Back in June I thought that this summer would be a laid back, time to get things done, plenty of time to run summer. Somehow it wasn’t, which has definitely lead to some runfessions for August. I’m heading into the…
Here we are, one month closer to being done with winter. I generally don’t mind winter, but this has been one of the rainiest that I can remember and I’m pretty much over that. But I’ve had a lot going on, so grab a big cuppa and we’ll chat with Deb and Coco‘s and catch up on things….
Confession: I’m nearer to the end of my 40s than the beginning of my 40s. In fact, it won’t be long and I’ll be talking about fitness in my 50s. Gulp. But I have a goal of still running races in my 80s, or maybe even my 90s, so I need to focus now on…
I love to write this post every year. It gives me a chance to look back and reminds me that even if the year was not perfect, that there was a lot of good in the year. This was a crazy busy year! I traveled for work more than I ever have, but I guess…
Yes, it’s that time of year again. Time to recap all the running fun I’ve had this year. I’ve been doing the Year in Running post for several years now. I’ve done it in 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012, so I’m thankful that Courtney has continued to host it. I write this post for myself, but I…
My November was a nice respite after the craziness that was September and October. Don’t get me wrong. I love working for ZOOMA and going to each of the races is a high point of the job, but between my travel schedule, Beer Geek’s travel schedule, and the Marine Corps Marathon, I was ready for…
I’ve lived in the DC area for more than 20 years. While sometimes I still wonder how that happened (I grew up as a military brat and moved all the time), this area has become my hometown. And with 16 years of running under my belt, I’ve run most races and run all over the…
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…
Summer is over. Normally, summer hangs on until it is no longer officially summer, but for some reason this year, summer decided to leave when the kids went to school. We’ve had perfect running weather nearly every day for the last couple of weeks. I’ve actually even managed to go out for some runs without…
You all know I love craft beer about as much as I love running. OK, maybe even more than I love running. When I get the chance to combine the two, I’m a happy camper. And lately the opportunities to run and drink beer in t he DC area are growing and growing. The number…
