Super proud to work for Cigna. This morning we announced that we're covering consumer costs for all treatments related to COVID-19. #WeAreCigna https://t.co/FYIlpYhNM7

[Michael Lo Presti @MichaelLoPrest3]

Health care professionals are on the front lines of #COVID19, including thousands of Cigna clinicians. We thank you all for showing us what being #HealthCareHeroes truly means – today and every day. #WeAreCigna https://t.co/N8FcCrTcuh

[Michael Lo Presti @MichaelLoPrest3]

Here are precautions you can take to protect yourself against COVID-19 and resources that Cigna provides to ensure you get the care you need. https://t.co/iOC9zHgVNe #WeAreCigna https://t.co/Uxbo1LOTRO

In honor of today as #NationalCaregiversDay, I'm sharing resources from Cigna to help caregivers - and themselves, because being a caregiver isn't easy. https://t.co/oH0CIYRGOm #WeAreCigna https://t.co/ZgQXavB1K6

We spend 90,000 hours of our lives at work. That's a lot. I know I spend most of those hours with my coworkers. However, people are actually increasingly lonely in the workplace. Click to read more. #CignaBodyandMind https://t.co/swKTyMUZdP #WeAreCigna https://t.co/Ri0Wgxh83r

That’s a wrap!
Special thanks to Bret from the MCM team, @cigna & @MichaelLoPrest3 for sharing their tips. We’ll see you all at the @Marines_Marathon later this month!

@Marine_Marathon I’ll drink plenty of water afterwards to rehydrate, and find something to eat. I’ll hang out with friends and family celebrating the accomplishment. If I have time, I love sticking around and congratulating the other finishers. #RunWithTheMarines #CignaRunTogether

❓Congratulations! You crossed the finish line. How do you take care of your body & mind after a run?
#RunWithTheMarines #CignaRunTogether

[Michael Lo Presti @MichaelLoPrest3]

@Marine_Marathon Maybe a little nervous, but mostly excited. I drink my smoothie, get to the race nice and early, and simply enjoy the vibe of the other runners waiting around the starting area. #RunWithTheMarines #CignaRunTogether

❓It’s MCM Day! How are you feeling? What’s your routine?
🅰️Bret: Arrive early. Avoid crowds. Make time to relax & think about the plan. Do some light warm up & stretches. Take in the energy at the event. Trust the training. #RunWithTheMarines #CignaRunTogether

[Michael Lo Presti @MichaelLoPrest3]

@Marine_Marathon @HoneyStinger @Wegmans Before: Veggie, banana, and cocoa smoothie. During: For a marathon, gels and whatever else is offered on the course; for an ultra, more real food (like watermelon and Coca-Cola!). After: Veggie burgers and fries. #RunWithTheMarines #CignaRunTogether

[Marine Corps Marathon @Marine_Marathon]

❓How do you fuel your body before, during or after a run?
🅰️Bret: Train with what is on course (@honeystinger, @Wegmans oranges & Jelly Belly Sport Beans). Carb load the day before but don’t over eat. Hydrate on course & add calories. #RunWithTheMarines #CignaRunTogether

[Michael Lo Presti @MichaelLoPrest3]

@Marine_Marathon I get pumped when I know an aid station is coming up, or spots where friends or family will be cheering me on. I also cherish the moment I first hear the finish line crowds and announcer; that always inspires me to finish with a strong kick!

❓What’s your mental mile marker–that point you look forward to in the event that pushes you to run faster or finish stronger? #RunWithTheMarines #CignaRunTogether

[Michael Lo Presti @MichaelLoPrest3]

@Marine_Marathon Have an open mind. You may tweak a muscle, or face rain or snow – things that weren’t in your game plan. Get past the surprise factor, and take one step at a time to find your groove again. #RunWithTheMarines #CignaRunTogether

[Michael Lo Presti @MichaelLoPrest3]

@Marine_Marathon I have a love/hate relationship with tempo runs. They're not fun, but they certainly pay off on race day!

[Michael Lo Presti @MichaelLoPrest3]

@Marine_Marathon Two thoughts keep me energized. First, I’m lucky to be able to run, because not everyone can. Second, I know someday I won’t be able to do this, so every step of every run is a gift. #RunWithTheMarines #CignaRunTogether

❓You trained, fueled, slept well and have the most motivating music playing in your ears. But it’s just one of those days where you’ve hit “the wall." How do you stay motivated and energized during a long run? #RunWithTheMarines #CignaRunTogether
