I was originally set to run Seawheeze today, but decided to extend our Euro vacation. Instead I will be running a local race here in the UK. The Thames Meander half marathon. I will be wearing my Seawheeze shorts anyway. Good luck to everyone running Seawheeze and everywhere else today! #thamesmeander #seawheeze #rnrdublin #running #teamnuun #garmin #lululemon #zensah #runrocknroll #werunsocial #furtherfasterforever #instarunners #worlderunners #maurrunning #maurrungear (at Thames Meander Marathon)

Obligatory gear shot for #rnrdc. This race is pretty much a glorified training run as I am testing out a few things like my hydration vest and some nutritional items. If they don’t work for 26, how will they work for 50 right? This should be interesting. #runrocknroll #tourpass #heavymedals #running #travel #runcation #turnaroundtrip #teamnuun #newbalance #ultimatedirection #garmin #lululemon #zensah #oakley #trailbutter #gopro #washingtondc (at Rock ’n’ Roll DC)

First run of the year was a beautiful sunset run around one of my favorite sections of the Newport Back Bay. It was nice to get out there and just take in nature and think a bit. #running #training #lamarathon #ocmarathon #teamnuun #nuunbassador #garmin #newportbeach #backbay #orangecounty (at Upper Newport Bay)

Last run of 2015. A brisk 4 miles as the sun set on another year. This run put me just over 1500 miles for the year. With all the holidays, traveling, and parties, I was doubtful but somehow was able to squeeze in 130 miles this month to hit it. It’s been an incredible year of running and looking forward to more miles in 2016.

With last night’s run, hit 3K on my #nikeplus. Although I’ve moved on to #garmin / #strava, I still sync my runs to Nike since it was the first app I used and is pretty much my total mileage since starting long distance running. It’s amazing to think how many miles and memories have gone by in the past couple of years. Kind of sad to be leaving one of my favorite colors, but I do love black too. #running #nike #justdoit #nuunbassador #furtherfasterforever #werunsocial #instarunners #almostshadowtime

I’ve been meaning to do more trails/hills so after work I put in about 6 miles and 1100 ft of elev gain. It was nice to change it up and get away from the pavement and people. #running #trail #hills #nuunbassador #furtherfasterforever #werunsocial #instarunners #newbalance #minimus #seemyrun #garmin #920xt (at Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park)

It’s #medalmonday and I’m still thinking about Sat’s race.  When I originally signed up for #fontanahalfmarathon during the fall, I said to myself that depending on how well Ive been running I’d like to hit sub 1:40. When I picked up the RNR tour pass and saw it would be sandwiched between San Diego and Seattle, that 1:40 went out the window. I decided to run this race purely by a comfortable effort and it was such a suprise to me when I hit the last .1 miles to see the clock still under 1:40. I had to gun it to hit a huge PR. Weather and gravity was my ally on this race, but concious downhill running mechanics, turnover and cadence control allowed me to expend minimal energy and finish strong on the flats even though I was fasted and did not take in anything during the run. Best part is my legs weren’t shot and I feel good going into #rnrsea. #running #fontanadaysrun #halfmarathon #garmin #medalwhore #fasted #lowcarbrunner #nuunbassador #fontana
