Cyclist fuel. #brag #bikerideacrossgeorgia #oreofarm #cycling #crosstrainingIt's @BibRave pride Friday and I'm feeling all sorts of happiness and aloha spirit because I'm fully vaccinated! Woohoo! The battle is far from over but I'm really looking forward to some hugs with my vaccinated friends and family. Did you know? Spring has sprung and UV exposure is the real deal, especially with increased marathon training miles. Having tried many different sunscreens which never last for an entire long run or ride, I'm looking forward to trying these all-natural products from @tanrioutdoors as part of being a BibRave Pro. Another @grandmasmarathon training run in the books, another day closer to the 45th anniversary medal (revealed just this week!). Registration for the in-person races is closed but you can still use code BIBRAVE1021 for 10% off registration of the virtual race experience. In fact, taking part virtually is the only way you can run ALL the Grandmas weekend events! #linkinbioIt's @bibrave Pride Friday and I'm heading into the weekend like I've just found a powerup.⠀

February Running Roundup: winter maintenance and motivation
Even though my birthday falls in February, it tends to be a struggle month for me. The new year has settled in, the late winter, pre-spring blues crop up, and motivation becomes a bit of a struggle. I feel like I’m operating 75-80% on my fitness and nutrition goals, but that 20-ish% of less than ideal nutrition behavior ends up creating plateaus that can spiral into lapses in motivation and loss of fitness gains.
