Best view in the city. #atlanta #adventurecycling #specializeddiverge #seekanddivergeGetting in the #runstreak miles for @rnnr.co #rnnraroundtheworld and @horizonrace @phidippides_atlanta #mailathon by delivering messages of good tidings to run buddy @kesinatl until we get to enjoy more miles together!When you’re trying to finish a #PhD dissertation during a pandemic, a Wednesday Wine-down zoom call with friends is one of the few happy breaks you get. Love finishing the call to the amazing smell of dinner cooked and ready from @adam_r thanks to @purplecarrotxo These almond butter tofu bowls were AMAZING! #PCRockstars #veganLet's face it; we may not see a return to "normal" group runs or races any time soon. However, being a @bibrave Pro more than prepared me for living a running life outside of just races and "Medal Mondays." Sure, BibRave started as a way for people to write and read race reviews. But BibRave as a community is so much more than that. It's a community of folks where I'm reminded every day that running isn't cancelled. It's the memory of having @runmeb sign my BibRave trucker hat before the @runvermont Vermont City Marathon before I went on to PR by nearly 20 minutes ("Run to win" indeed). It's the time I spent 36 hours in Austin with a group of awesome friends I had never met IRL, crash a Brooks after party, dance until the early hours, and then get up a couple hours later for run tour around town. It's listening to 5 consecutive BibRave Podcasts on @aftershokz while running a social distance 50k in loops around a 1.3 mile industrial complex. It's meeting up with @tmurph135 and @jmurphy628 in the middle of Waikiki so I can run the @honolulumarathon in brand new swag (I thought new stuff on race day was a bad idea??). It's traveling to far off places and races with BibRave Benjamin in tow because a pet lion makes you run faster. It's so much more. I don't run for medals, or swag, or even times. I run because, even though every run isn't great, every run is worth it. . . . #bibchat #bibravepro #BibRaveProud #runningisntcancelled #socialdistancerunningCongrats to birthday girl @eileen.torres1 for running 50 miles for her 50th birthday and getting a handful of us to run 50k, and numerous others to run various distances. Big congrats to @nishankster and @yeemilyee for running their first 50k! To say it was hot would be an understatement and running loops on armour drive is fully exposed to direct sun. Still managed to PR marathon at 4:29 and change and PR 50k. Many thanks to @hopcityatl for the @creaturecomfortsbeer Athena Paradiso (beer of choice of Thor God of Thunder) for post-run refreshment and @bigsoftieatl for a most excellent treat. For the record, it takes 5 @bibrave #bibravepodcast to finish a 50k. 😉 ... #bibchat #runchat #ultra #50k #rnnraroundtheworld #rnnr #yetitrailrunners #eastcoastvwestcoastATL riding is all about fun bikes, rail yards, and cute boys. #cycling #seekanddiverge #specializeddiverge #atlanta #quarantinebuddy @socialdistancecyclingclub

2020: Say ‘NO!’ to Resolutions and ‘YES!’ to Motivations!
So yeah, I wanted to wait a few weeks into the new year to get my bearings and let everyone else blab about their resolutions before I came out with my 2020 plans and motivations. 2019 was difficult but 2020 … Continue reading

Yeti 100 Training Week 1 Recap
Obviously, my marathon-a-month training goal for the year is only a fraction of what needs to be done for 100-mile training. I’m using a modified 24-week training plan from the book Relentless Forward Progress by Bryon Powell. I say “modified” … Continue reading
