#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)

#throwbackthursday to four years ago, this day. I ran my first 5k and have been on a runner’s high ever since. #tbt #running #aquariumofthepacific5k #lbmarathon #longbeach #teamnuun #instarunners #furtherfasterforever #werunsocial #maurrunning #maurfinishes (at Aquarium Of The Pacific 5K)

#throwbackthursday to last August as I was about to cross the finish line at the Bulldog 50k, my first ultramarathon. In a little over 24 hours I’ll be upping the stakes as I attempt 50 miles at the Leona Divide 50. #tbt #trailrunevents #bulldog50k #ultrarunning #ultramarathon #50K #trail #leonadivide #running #teamnuun #asnailspace #malibucreekpark #malibu #california #maurrunning

#throwbackthursday to running Ragnar So Cal last year with team #furtherfasterforever. Such a great time running with an amazing group of runners. Miss my #f3 fam! Can’t believe it’s been a year and sad that I’m not running #ragnarsocal this year. Have fun everyone that’s running this weekend! It’s such a great time and my favorite running event hands down. #ragnarrelay #f3ragnar #relay #running #teamnuun #tbt #huntingtonbeach #sandiego (at Socal Ragnar Relay- Finish Line!)

#throwbackthursday to 2014 #avengershalf where I was running around Disneyland as “The Merc With a Mouth”. Looking forward to watching Deadpool tonight. Still can’t believe we’re getting a Deadpool movie! #comicnerd #comics #marvel #running #rundisney #teamnuun #deadpool #deadpoolmovie #ryanrenolds #chimichangas #tbt

#tbt to stopping by Big Sur after my #amaurrunbuddy and I completed our #calicombo at #rnrsj. @runrocknroll just released the new Cali Combo medal today and it looks like we may have to do it again! #mycalicombo #runrocknroll #running #rnrsf #rnrsd #medals #bling #nuunbassador #bigsur #throwbackthursday #maurrunning (at McWay Falls)

#tbt to earlier this year where I would see a familiar face from my local run clubs at races. We were both going for the Rock N Roll series Cali Combo medal. Little did we know then that we would be completing the challenge together this weekend in San Jose as more than just run club friends. 😊 #amaurrunbuddy #rnrsj #rnrsf #rnrsd #calicombo #runrocknroll #heavymedals #running #nuunbassador #asnailspace #racingforacure #throwbackthursday

#throwbackthursday birthday edition. The Bulldog 50K fell on my birthday last year, but they do not allow Vibram Five Fingers, so I decided to run my own “50K”. 32 miles for 32 years. I created a route that connected all of my run clubs together. Starting at A Snail’s Pace in Mission Viejo, through the hills of Aliso to Laguna Beach, up PCH to Fashion Island (Lululemon/Nike), through the Back Bay (Sat run), and ending at South Coast Plaza (Nike). I had some friends who attempted to run the entire route with me, with various other friends jumping in and out at various check points throughout the day. It was such an amazing experience and still one of my more memorable birthday moments.

Throwback Thursday - Birthday Edition

My birthday is on Sunday and on Saturday I will be running my first official ultramarathon at the Bulldog 50K in Calabasas, CA. Today's special birthday edition #throwbackthursday is a throwback to my birthday last year. The Bulldog 50K fell on my birthday last year, but they do not allow Vibram Five Fingers. I decided to run my own "50K". 32 miles for 32 years.

I created a route that connected all of my run clubs together. Starting at A Snail's Pace in Mission Viejo, through the hills of Aliso to Laguna Beach, up PCH to Fashion Island (Lululemon/Nike), through the Back Bay (Sat run), and ending at South Coast Plaza (Nike). I had some friends who attempted to run the entire route with me, with various other friends jumping in and out at various check points throughout the day. It was such an amazing experience and I was fortunate enough to catch most of it on video. Here is the #tbt video from last year:

In honor of the awesome #deadpool trailer that came out this week, #tbt to last years Avengers Superheroes half marathon where I ran as none other than the Merc With A Mouth himself. Looking forward to the movie just as I am looking forward to running the Infinity Gauntlet challenge in November. #nerdrunner #comics #running #rundisney #avengershalf #disney2lv #2challenges1weekend #marvel #redband #nuunbassador #chimichangas #angelsstadium (at Avengers Half Marathon)

#tbt to running the #sfmarathon last year. My second full marathon and still my PR even with the hills and running it fasted. Unfortunately, I won’t be running it this year, but sending MUCH LOVE and WELL WISHES to all my friends and everyone running it this weekend! Good luck everyone! Such a great race and city! #throwbackthursday #running #marathon #curearthritis #asprc #furtherfasterforever #werunsocial #sanfrancisco #hills #goldengatebridge #lowcarbrunner (at The SF Marathon)

#TBT to last year’s Ragnar Napa Valley Ultra. Rockin’ my @furtherfasterforever shirt and prepping for my longest leg(s) in the middle of the night. I thought I was going to sit out this weekend’s Ragnar So Cal but was tapped last minute to fill in for who else, but team #furtherfasterforever. Looking forward to repping #F3 from HB to SD. #throwbackthursday #running #ragnarrelay #ragnarnapa #ragnarsocal #nuunbassador #curearthritis #lowcarbrunner

One more throwback Thursday before the night is over. Pacing the Surf City half marathon last year. Will be pacing again on Sunday, but this time I’ll be leading the 2:05 group. Amazing to think, last year this was only my 4th half marathon and Sunday it will be my 15th. Come join me for a nice and easy coastal run! #tbt #running #asnailspace #pacer #surfcitymarathon #surfcity #huntingtonbeach

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

Today’s throwback Thursday is my first run with Nike plus. With yesterday’s run, I broke 2000 miles on my Nike account. It’s amazing to think how far I’ve come along and yet how much more I have to grow as runner. Looking forward to the next thousand mile PLUS. #tbt #running #fitness #nikeplus #nike
