When running a little under a half marathon is considered a “short” or “easy” run, you know it’s marathon taper time. A fasted 12 around Newport Back Bay and Balboa Island. Great run with the Sat run fam. #running #lamarathon #training #taper #fasted #lowcarbrunner #nuunbassador #vibramfivefingers #garmin #920xt #newport #backbay (at Newport Back Bay)

Had another great fasted run last night. This time with my Lululemon run fam running around Corona Del Mar. 3 miles in, threw in a couple hills sprints, which blasted my legs for the rest of the semi hilly run back. Still pushed on to finish the run with decent pace. Will be taking it easy the rest of the way until LA Marathon. #chasingnewport #lululemon #runclub #running #fasted #lowcarbrunner #lamarathon #training #strava #vibramfivefingers #nuunbassador #coronadelmar #newport #fashionisland (at lululemon athletica Newport Beach)

Great run last night with my Nike run fam. My Tuesday Nike run is usually my “speed” or interval day as it’s a pretty flat route with minimal stop signs after the first mile. I pushed myself a bit to hit sub 8 for 7 while fasted. #running #fasted #lowcarbrunner #nikerunclub #nuunbassador #southcoastplaza (at Nike Running South Coast Plaza)

Was hooked by my #lululemon run club to demo the new “Tight Stuff” compression tights. Worked well on my 20 miler today and should be great for LA marathon. #running #gear #compression #chasingnewport #runclub #perks #vibramfivefingers (at lululemon athletica Newport Beach)

We took a little detour from our regular route today. Perfect weather and great company for the many of us running 20+ miles today. Taper time for LA Marathon! #running #runfam #lamarathon #training #tapertime #vibramfivefingers #nuunbassador #generationucan #balboa #newportbeach (at Balboa Island, Newport Beach)

Body in the office, but mind on the road. Looking forward to my last long run of #lamarathon training tomorrow. Making sure I’m hydrated and electrolytes are topped off for tomorrow’s 20 miler. #running #marathon #training #nuunbassador #garmin #tapersoon

I had such a great time pacing the Surf City half marathon yesterday. While I’m not the biggest fan of the Surf City course, the out and backs gave perfect opportunities to see and encourage friends and runners throughout. The weather was a bit warmer than expected but really, who can complain when we’re running a beach front course in February? #runsurfcity #running #asnailspace #asprc #pacer #vibramfivefingers #nuunbassador #surfcitymarathon #huntingtonbeach #lowcarbrunner #instarunners (at Surf City Marathon 2015)

These major local races (Surf City/OC/LB) are always a great reminder of how blessed I am to be involved with the OC running community. Being able to see so many friends on the course and being able to give and receive support from start to finish makes running so much more enjoyable and fulfilling. So proud of all my friends who ran today. Those who completed their first marathons, PR’d, paced,or just came out and ran some miles either officially in the race or to support other runners. It was such a great day to #runsurfcity. #running #asnailspace #asprc #nikerunclub #werunoc #lululemon #runclub #chasingnewport #surfcitymarathon #nuunbassador (at Surf City Marathon 2015)
