MCM Mama Runs for Beer and Bling
I wrote this post when we got to Bermuda and then got too busy to finish it. I’ll post about the race weekend next, but suffice it to say that the trip was amazing! Bermuda is gorgeous! Our trip here was a little rough – 3 airplane changes in Miami, 5 gate changes (from one…
It’s hard to believe that tomorrow the kids go back to school (never mind that most other schools are already back in session.) It feels like just yesterday that we were celebrating the end of another school year. But we had a good summer and this is a huge year here – Jones (who was…
I can’t believe we are nearing the end of July. I feel like all I’ve been doing is running, drinking beer, and taking my kids places. Jones and I are currently on another college trip – this time to Ohio. In four days we are hitting four colleges, 2 zoos, an aquarium, and an aviary….
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…
This blog is coming to you from the Denver Airport at 4:30am. I just spent an amazing weekend with the best tribe a girl could ask for. The annual Skirt Sports retreat is an amazing and energizing event, made even better by the fact that I get to spend time with some of my closest…
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…
I’m writing this from the hotel room at the Sea Crest in Falmouth. Which is to say, my views are currently amazing! This weekend is ZOOMA Cape Cod and this is likely my last quiet moment before the wild ride begins. No matter how much planning you do, there are always surprises. The trick is…
Post contains Affliliate links, which means that if you purchase through them, I get paid a small commission. It’s been about 7 years since I first put on a Skirt Sports skirt and went out for a run. That first skirt was the Happy Hour skirt (basically a Happy Girl without the pockets). I fell…
This week has just flown by. But time spent at my parents’ house always does. I’ve been so busy that I realized today that I’d completely forgotten to blog this week. I guess that’s a good sign – I’ve been too busy with real life to write. And thankfully, it’s all good busy. So today,…
I guess you can tell from the title where I stand on today’s Tuesdays on the Run topic of whether or not t0 run on vacation. I can’t think of a vacation in the last 10 years that hasn’t had at least one run – and most have more than one and at least one…
2018 is here and I still feel like much of my life is in flux. While I am not a Type A personality, I do like to have my life somewhat planned and be in control of the things around me. That doesn’t seem to be how life is going to work for now, so…
Welcome to my favorite post to write each year! I admit I love the ego walk down memory lane at the end of the year LOL. This *might* by my last post of 2017, but I do have some runfessions. Life has been a little crazy for the last few weeks, so I didn’t get…
