#throwbackthursday to the last time I was able to run in Canada. I was in Toronto for my brothers wedding and even though we were busy I made it a point to squeeze in a run along Lake Ontario. It was only mid-october yet it was 30°F which was definitely freezing for a California boy like myself. I will return to the great white north this weekend to run my 10th full marathon at Rock N Roll Montreal. #tbt #rnrmtl #running #marathon #teamnuun #nuunlove #furtherfasterforever #instarunners #werunsocial #worlderunners #maurrunning #runcation #travel #toronto #canada (at Lake Ontario)

Eight months down in 2016 and while my overall mileage is short in comparison to this point last year, I’ve hit my 100 miles/month goal for the eighth straight month. This is one of the more memorable ~100 miles that I’ve run… ever… In addition to my recent 50k, I was able to spend some of those miles running through Rome, Paris, London, and Dublin including a half marathon in each of the latter two cities. Definitely a good birthday month. Next stop, #rnrmtl for my 10th all time full marathon, and 5th of this year. Happy running everyone! #august #recap #running #teamnuun #nuunlove #furtherfasterforever #instarunners #werunsocial #worlderunners #maurrunning #travel #runcation #rome (at Colloseum)

Running in Rome is like running amongst ancient giants. Structures like the Pantheon tower over you and you can’t help but feel a sense of awe in their size and historical importance. #amaurrunbuddy #takesoneurope #runcation #travel #running #teamnuun #furtherfasterforever #instarunners #werunsocial #worlderunners #maurrunning #italy #rome #pantheon #latergram (at Pantheon)

The best way to see a city is by foot. Started our #rnrdublin Euro #runcation with a nice running tour of Paris’s sites.

Funny that I just got this in my e-mail after posting my previous pic. Heck yes I’m ready to rock 26.2! My next full marathon after @ocmarathon will be #rnrsea in June! 2nd year in a row. A great course and home to @nuunhydration. Who else is running RNR Seattle? Full or half? #running #runrocknroll #tourpass #heavymedals #travel #teamnuun #nuunlove #furtherfasterforever #instarunners #werunsocial #seattle #washington #runcation #maurrunning

#medalmonday Viva Mexico edition. 2 of 8 medals earned this weekend. A day after our 2 halfs in 2 countries in 24 hours we decided to go for another adventure and visit the Teotihuacan pyramids for an epic medal Monday photo for an epic weekend. #rnrcdmx #runrocknroll #tourpass #worldrocker #heavymedals #travel #runcation #teamnuun #blacksheeprun #running #instamedals #mexico #teotihuacan #pyramids (at Las Pirámides De Teotihuacan)

Rock N Roll Washington DC marathon done! Marathon #7 in the books for me. A 26.2 training run through our nation’s capital.

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)

It’s a Lone Star state #medalmonday. My 12th and final @runrocknroll race and 9th different state of 2015. This also makes my 19th half marathon this year with one more to go at the end of the month. I can definitely say I got my #tourpass worth visiting new cities and making amazing memories with new friends from all over. #rnrsa #runrocknroll #heavymedals #bling #medal #travel #running #runcation #sanantonio #texas #riverwalk #nuunbassador #maurrunning #maurmedals #instamedals (at San Antonio Riverwalk)

Coming together from all corners of North America for the last time in 2015. Cumulatively, this group has run thousands of @runrocknroll race miles in this year alone. It’s been great sharing the road with these amazing individuals this year and looking forward to sharing more miles with everyone in 2016! #blacksheeprun #runfam #rnrsa #tourpass #heavymedals #running #travel #runcation #nuunbassador #sanantonio #texas (at Rock n Roll San Antonio Marathon & ½ Marathon Expo)
