In 2014, as Mason’s passion for travel peaked and he embraced every journey he could find, Austin Fit Magazine extended a unique proposition. They wanted him to share his experiences running in foreign countries with their readers. While there was no monetary incentive, the idea of sharing stories around his twin passions – running and travel – was irresistible.
Reflecting on last week’s post about running while abroad, we felt it appropriate to recycle this post from 2014 about the two weeks Mason spent running & living in Karatina, Kenya.
In 2014, I spent two weeks in Karatina, Kenya, running with local friends, weaving through vibrant villages & breathtaking terrains. Relive my journey of running & cultural immersion.

Just touched down in Dublin, fresh off a flight from Reykjavik. First order of business? A classic pint of Guinness at a local favorite, the Cobblestone Pub, with traditional Irish music filling the air. It felt like a quintessential Dublin welcome.

Whether you're dreaming of planning your own Irish adventure or love following along, stay tuned for the sights, sounds, and surprises Ireland offers.
