Group training can be fun, but even group training comes a fair amount of alone time. That's when the #work gets done. Rain or shine, heat or cold -- it's just you and the road and sound of your feet. No excuses. Just the commitment to better. Lately, it's been wet here And also soupy. I've been missing some of my paces. But I'm out there. Pushing myself. Sweating like Moses Malone. Logging strong miles. They say that fall PRs are made in the summer heat. I'm putting my faith in it. #running #exercise #rain #hills #training #runhard #runhappy #runstagram #runnersofinstagram (at Cincinnati) https://www.instagram.com/p/By6e7uyjK5M/?igshid=awq5ymrd0fjs

The sun rises in the east. The sun sets in the west. Every day. So, no matter what happened in your life today, know that the sun will come up tomorrow. Unless you're living in a Michael Bay movie, I guess. Then, 🤷🏻‍♂️ . #miami #miamibeach #florida #beach #beachrunning #runstagram #runner #running #exercise #fitness #runnersofinstagram #marathontraining #sunrise (at Miami Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bss-FCXjKzf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1g1t6a9uqr1is

Grabbing miles wherever I can find them. The last bunch have been in Miami. It's nice to just throw on shorts and t-shirt and head out the door tbh #miamibeach #runner #running #runstagram #flyingpigmarathon #marathontraining #fleetfeetcincy #runhappy #exercise #fitness #sunset #atlanticocean (at Miami Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsrDWCTD2Wc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ncemmcuwpziq

Topped off the week with a few extra miles today, raising the YTD total to 114. Been building a strong base since the fall and the key for me has been: run the fast runs fast and the slow runs slow. Even in the snow. #runner #running #runstagram #snowrunning #fitness #exercise #marathontraining #flyingpigmarathon https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsl9qcrDegT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10xuqcyixvx29

Sunlight running is a treat when it's December and you live in Ohio. It's dark most of the day and skies are typically covered in clouds. Was happy to see a sunrise today. 10/10 would see it again. #runner #running #ohio #weather #sunrise #runnersofinstagram #runstagram #fitness #exercise https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq4tC-DjzUa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1314uffs5j1xs

The sun came up over the sea today. Waters are vast. And the feeling of wide open spaces is at once humbling and empowering. Its the opposite feeling of going to Señor Frogs, which I also did today. #runner #running #runnersofinstagram #caribbeansea #cruiserun #track #fitness #exercise #sunrise https://www.instagram.com/p/BqiwPdFD25a/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mx86tm07iioc

Running the Milwaukee Lakefront today and got the brilliant idea to run the rocks along the shoreline. In hindsight, it was not an *entirely* brilliant idea. I came this close to taking a swim. That water is cold. And deep. #milwaukee #milwaukeelakefront #runner #running #runhappy #rocks #lakemichigan #sunrise #exercise #fitness (at Milwaukee Lakefront) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp5MxhJhqtu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5ax2xxzbkajw

What type of running goals do you set for yourself? . 6 weeks ago, I committed to running 200 miles in October. It was a big goal. I run marathons and spend a lot of time running, but I've never done 200 miles in a month. Not even close, actually. But, I wanted to challenge myself after watching my wife @jonionthebike power through her *own* challenge  -- doing one hundred burpees per day for an entire month. . Joni is a personal trainer and she leads by example. She works harder than anybody I know and, when hard work won't be enough, she changes how she lives. . I'm lucky to share a life with Joni and she inspired me to pursue my own big goal. I knew that running 200 miles in a month wouldn't be as simple as "running more often". I've tried that before. I got bored, I got burnt, and then I got hurt. . Running 200 miles would require a change in mindset. . I made three significant changes to make this possible: I committed to rest, I committed to recovery, and I committed to running at a slower pace -- three things I don't do particularly well. . I reorganized my days. I set an alarm for 4:45 (sorry, Joni!) and hit the streets by 5:30 AM. I slowed my pace by close to a minute per mile. I focused my work during business hours so I could be in bed by 10 PM. I carved out time for 10-minute stretch cycles. I stopped watching movies until past midnight. . I also drank way more water than usual; did cryotherapy at @arcticblastcryo; and, made sure I adhered to the schedule regardless of work travel or weather conditions. . So, through nine different cities; rain, sleet, and heat; and, temperature swings of seventy degrees, I ran toward 200 miles and, on October 27, I got there. There was no fanfare, no finish line, and no medal. Just the satisfaction of knowing that I hit my goal and that I could do it again. . I ultimately finished October with 226 miles -- 10% above my goal -- and, during the month, I managed to put up a 90-second PR in the 5k, clocking a 19:38. I had never run a sub-20 5k before. . Six weeks ago, running 200 miles in a month seemed impossible. Today, it's a just a new benchmark. . #runner #running #goals https://www.instagram.com/p/BpmGe2zDuqQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hzye5qs3luh5
