Social distancing means quiet roads for a great Saturday ride. It’s not Wednesday but still got a biscuit! #socialdistancing #cycling #covid19 #bancarsRain out there, don’t care. CoRUNavirus #runstreak day 18 in the bag! #rnnraroundtheworld #bibchatOur communities are seeking new at-home or socially-distant friendly exercise alternatives - or worse, taking a hiatus from exercise all together. As a runner, I know firsthand that regular exercise improves my physical & mental well-being. But I also remember how hard it was when I first started! Now it’s time to pay it forward! If you’re new to running and not sure how to start, I’m here to help #ReleasetheRunner in YOU! ⠀ . . .⠀ 13 years ago I was struggling through grad school, living alone, unhealthy, depressed, and unmotivated. On a mental health break home in NH I watched a family friend compete in @ironmantri. It completely redefined my definition of "athlete" and encouraged me to go back to Atlanta and find the athlete I knew existed within myself. I immediately signed up for the @atlantrackclub #halfmarathon training program, and one mile at a time, several months later I made it to the finish line of the Atlanta Thanksgiving Half Marathon. 13 years later I've completed dozens of races from 5ks, half marathons, marathons, ultramarathons, and Ironman! One step at a time...walking, running, jogging, walk/run intervals, whatever "running" means to you...you can "releasetherunner too! Whether at home on a treadmill, running laps around the block, or even running around your yard, now is the time to get out there and find the mental happiness that comes with treating your body to some much deserved miles. There's so many virtual training programs and races right now. Let me know what you need and I can send you in the right direction. :-D⠀ ⠀ @laurenleesc @mikeuda ⠀ ⠀ #BibChat ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #socialdistancing #runningisntcanceled #quarantine #quarantinelife #stayhome #covid19 #coronavirus #running #run #socialdistance #runalone #runningsnotcancelledRides, and runs, and dog walks, oh my! When the only excuse to go outside is for dog walks or exercise, you end up getting a lot of all the above. Lots of double and triple days lately so that I don’t go mad. 😜 Keeping a CoRUNavirus run streak going (day 16), logging steps for @fitnessbank.fit @des_linden Spring Step Challenge, and adding miles to a virtual relay around the world with @rnnr.co It’s nuts out there folks but still so many ways to stay healthy and motivated. #bibchat #runchat #FitnessBankBr #StepWithDes #rnnraroundtheworld #justrun #marathontraining #ultratrainingScenes from a socially distant run. Long-ish and slow, with no planned route or distance in mind. Just ran to stuff I wanted to see, stopped for an audio tour of the African American burial grounds at @oaklandcemetery , chugged a pint of water and a salted caramel donut at @revolutiondoughnuts (which I don’t recommend if you still have 3 miles left to run home #worthit ), and “visited” some famous folks including Bobby Jones, Margaret Mitchell, and MLK Jr. No cars required. #bibchat #runchat #socialdistancing #runstreak #atlanta #jacksonstreetbridge #walkingdeadA community served by amazing donuts is even better! Thanks @revolutiondoughnuts ! #socialdistancing #donuts

Workout Week in Review: 2/1/16-2/7/16
Coming out of the Sufferfest Knighthood on Sunday and leading into my birthday week I felt so strong, and empowered by the amazing people in my life. I did rest and sleep extra at the beginning of the week after the Knighthood but I wouldn’t be myself if I didn’t continue pushing myself anyway. Continue reading

A little help goes a long way…
Even before I was selected as a BibRave Pro, I regularly took part in their Tuesday night #BibChat. My running buddy, Samantha, from the ATC training program, was already a Pro and told me about the cool community. The Tuesday … Continue reading
