Today’s workout was powered by #supercoffee enhanced #nacraftbeer from @athleticbrewing. Pretty good stuff. Then it was time to get outside for 10-10-5-5 minute #tempointervals in some dismal weather conditions. Luckily I dressed well for the weather and was comfortable for the whole distance. 3 weeks until @cucb #cherryblossomtenmiler. I still have some work to do but the progress is there. #mastersrunner #masterstriathlete #masterstrackathlete #mastersxcrunner #mastersroadrunner #runva #tracktraining #xctraining #neverstopstriving #justkeepgoing #zensah #zensahambassador #teamzensah #withoutlimitz #sauconyendorphinspeed (at Mantua, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CptOSBGO_Uo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Only 3 more weeks to go in my race plan and I fractured 3 metatarsal bones in my right foot.

Another great chilly run in VA Tomorrow @kellyakellett and I will go run down by the river...if the weather holds up. Forecast says it’ll be raining. Rain and 30F temps means no running for us as we didn’t pack the right running gear. We at Altra are forgoing the carnage that is known as Black Friday Shopping and instead, promoting going outside and having fun. I love this. Instead of getting trampled on, we choose to the outside. #SeeYouOnMonday #getoutside #runVA #run #running #gooutside #tifosioptics #runnersofinstagram #altraambassador #insta_runners #ilovetorun #caterpy #hammernutrition #aftershokz (at Mechanicsville, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqh1lg-BPRN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1s9u3e9tefz8u

Great day to be outside with #springrunning conditions. I made another step up in distance today, going for 4 miles. That’s the longest I’ve run in almost 10 months! I kept it all easy today and just let my body find the run. That may be why my last mile was my fastest and that was a mostly uphill mile, too. My @zensah compression socks and my favorite trainers, the @altrarunning Torin, made sure it was a nice smooth ride as well. Afterwards I strength trained and I now feel like I got it all In today for sure. #mastersrunner #masterstriathlete #masterstrackathlete #mastersxcrunner #mastersroadrunner #runva #tracktraining #xctraining #neverstopstriving #justkeepgoing #altratorin #zensah #zensahambassador #teamzensah #withoutlimitz (at Mantua, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CanRDLJp_e5/?utm_medium=tumblr

Thanksgiving run in VA. Much much colder than FL. I didn’t know what hit me when I stepped outside. How things have changed. I’m originally from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 so you’d think I know what cold feels like. #thanksgivingdayrun #runva #zerodrop #altraambassador #runnersofinstagram #caterpy #hammer #howihammer #getoutside #gorun #instarunners #insta_runners #tattooedrunner #itscoldoutside #tifosioptics (at Mechanicsville, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqfR7ZyhRsh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=32yv5xxhpgyd

@kellyakellett and I had a very cold run in Downtown RVA, this morning. We ran Belle’s island then jumped on a (new to us) trail along James River. I’m probably going back tomorrow morning to run it all again. #run #running #runva #rva #altra #altrarep #itsnotcolditsfreezing (at James River Richmond Va) https://www.instagram.com/ultra_kel/p/CX1UFE8Lqqt/?utm_medium=tumblr

I love St. Patrick’s Day in part because I’m a quarter Irish 🇮🇪 But also because it’s right in the thick of spring running & race season. Although I got this tattoo on my foot in Dublin in October 2015 while I was there running the Dublin marathon - I got the tattoo two days after the marathon not before I’m not that crazy. I ran my first ever full marathon in Los Angeles St. Patrick’s weekend in 2012 I ran in the New York City half marathon on St Patrick’s day in 2013 and I’ve run a lot of other Irish or St. Patrick’s themed races during my short lived, but epic running career! I stopped running in 2016 due to foot injuries - which was devastating at the time - but thankfully I found Bodypump and weight lifting as my main activities. My three biggest foot care pieces of advice are: 1️⃣ replace your running or walking shoes frequently it’s recommended every 400to 500 miles. 2️⃣ get professionally fitted at a running store for the shoes chances are you’re wearing the wrong shoes size and could get a pair that would help prevent injury or make injuries less painful. 3️⃣ don’t slip in and out of tied shoes, untie and retie each time for a secure fit! #wwfit #fitnessjourney #fitnessmotivation #healthylifestyle #runva #rundc
