#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.

Had a great run with the #lululemon #chasingnewport run fam yesterday. 2 miles in before, 5 with the group, and broke off with a couple runners who wanted to put in a good extra 3 miles in for 10 total miles in a fasted state. #bulldogtraining #bulldog50k #running #runclub #werunoc #furtherfasterforever #nuunbassador #coronadelmar #fashionisland (at Lululemon Fashion Island)

A nice and easy run in the park today with the run fam. #lululemon #southcoastplaza is now where we call home on Tuesday nights.

After being gone for 3 weeks for races, it great to be back with my Sat morning run family. Took it easy with a fasted 9 miler around the Back Bay. #running #runfam #weSTILLrunOC #chasingnewport #werunoc #newport #backbay #fasted #lowcarbrunner #nuunbassador (at Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve)

Beautiful, fasted, post rain Sat morning run. Started the first 4 miles with the run fam, then broke off to finish up with 14 miles and 850ft elevation without taking any calories or water. Maintained a moderate effort throughout and felt great the whole time. #running #marathon #taper #rnrsd #fasted #lowcarbrunner #werunoc #nuunbassador #furtherfasterforever #werunsocial #instarunners #newport #backbay #newbalance #seemyrun (at Newport Back Bay)

We run IKEA? One of our Tues night routes is know as the “IKEA route” so why not take a picture in front of the namesake.

Flashback Friday to pacing the OC half marathon on Sunday. It was the perfect weather for running and there were some amazing views like this stretch along the Corona Del Mar beach front homes. #fbf #running #ocmarathon #halfmarathon #asnailspace #pacer #chasingnewport #werunoc #furtherfasterforever #runsocial #instarunners #nuunbassador #runmaur #lowcarbrunner #coronadelmar #latergram (at OC Marathon and Half Marathon)

Always great to run the local races. Being able to run through my run neighborhood and see all my friends along the way. From pacers to supporters and of course all my friends running.

Never trust that first mile. I was not feeling the run to start. A few miles in and found my groove with the help of one of our faster runners. Ended up getting a decently paced 6 in. #running #runclub #werunoc #roninrunners #nuunbassador #furtherfasterforever #garmin #920xt #lowcarbrunner #rnrsd #rnrsea #marathon #training (at South Coast Plaza)

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)

Brought out the new racing flats for the second time last night during Nike run club. I will still do the bulk of my training and running in my Five Fingers but wanted something just as light with a tad bit more cushion for the marathon. Gotta get a few test runs in with them before the big day though. #running #lamarathon #training #nikerunclub #werunoc #newbalance #garmin #strava #nuunbassador (at Nike Running South Coast Plaza)
