I guess “this city” refers to LA. #medalmonday legacy status edition. Fourth year running @newyearsrace half marathon. Half marathon #1 (2013), #3 (2014), #12 (2015), and #32 (2016). Always a great way to start the year by pushing yourself on one of the toughest half marathons around. Also shown are 10K and Doubleheader medal from this weekend and the Best of LA challenge medal from completing the Hollywood Half with New Years Race in 2014 . #newyearsrace #legacy #running #halfmarathon #challengecompleted #teamnuun #nuunbassador #instamedals #medals #bling #losangeles #la (at New Year’s Race Los Angeles)

How does the saying go? “Earned, not given” That was a tough one. 13.1 miles and 1200 ft of elevation gain right after a 10K. Easily one of the hardest half marathons around and funny enough, how I choose to start my race year every year. It was great having my #amaurrunbuddy by my side this time though. Congrats to all the finishers. You definitely earned that medal tonight! #newyearsrace #legacy #doubleheader #running #halfmarathon #hills #teamnuun #nuunbassador #losangeles #la (at New Year’s Race Los Angeles)

First race(s) of the year. Obligatory pre race gear shot for the New Year’s Race LA 10K & Half Marathon. My first half marathon ever 4 years ago and fourth year running it. #legacy #newyearsrace #halfmarathon #running #teamnuun #nuunbassador #gear #garmin #lululemon #gopro #losangeles #la (at Downtown Los Angeles)

A little reflection before my second half marathon in a little over 12 hours. Last night’s race was a major confidence booster for LA Marathon. That was a tough course with the cold weather, for Cali standards, and over 1000 ft elevation gain. I was happy with my overall pace and was even able to keep pushing up the hills consistently without the need of any on course nutrition but about 6 sips of water. Today will be the big test simulating the tail end of a marathon as I run on tired legs. #running #reflection #newyearsrace #lamarathon #training

New Years Race done for the third time! Official time 1:52. 15+ min course PR. Tough hilly course and ran it much harder than I probably should have considering I have another half marathon in less than 12 hours.

One more throwback Thursday: 2 years ago I ran the inaugural New Year’s Race LA as my first half marathon. Last year, I ran the same race again as my 3rd half marathon. Saturday, I will run it for the 3rd time as my 13th half marathon and less than 12 hours after finishing I will be running the Camarillo half marathon as my 14th half marathon. “Sometimes you just do things” #newyearsrace #legacystatus #camarillomarathon #challengeaccepted #lamarathon #training #running #fitness #lowcarbrunner #nuunbassador #tbt

Here we go again. I won an entry into the Camarillo half marathon which starts less than 12 hours after I will be finishing the New Years Race half marathon the night before. Will be perfect LA Marathon training as I’m scheduled run 25 miles that weekend anyway. Thanks Elite Sports California for the entry! #running #training #halfmarathon #newyearsrace #camarillomarathon #lamarathon #2halves24hours #runontiredlegs #lowcarbrunner #altrunner #elitesportscalifornia
