all in for ZOOMA florida!

September 18, 2014      8 Comments

This is a sponsored post. I am a ZOOMA Florida Ambassador. In exchange for my promotion and review of the 2015 event, I will be compensated with one race entry and sponsor gifts. All opinions are my own.

 

While it seems that here in Florida autumn will never get here, the fall and winter racing season is ramping up.

I don’t know about you, but I am so, incredibly ready.

There is just something about racing. I (usually) love my training runs and the feeling of getting ready for something, but now, we are just weeks away from the start of the big payoffs.

I am even more excited to be wrapping up my winter races with ZOOMA Florida in Amelia Island on January 17, 2015.

I announced that I will be back as a 2015 Ambassador for the ZOOMA Florida event, and it’s just such a great way to experience a race. I met so many great and inspiring athletes last year, both among my fellow ambassadors and in those who came out to run, and I am fortunate to have the chance to do it again this year.

As I mentioned earlier this week, ZOOMA Florida has added a 12K distance to the weekend, which is the perfect midway distance between the half and the 5K. The series also has some wonderful sponsors and will be hosting some great events leading up to the big day.

Doesn’t it all sound wonderful?

    I wish I lived closer! This sounds like such a fun event! I’ll be in FL at the beginning of January, but I don’t think I could pull off going back down so soon. Booo!

Drinking in that sunshine for sure! It was a bea Drinking in that sunshine for sure! 

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and some balance and strength work through @runsmartofficial.

Tomorrow will be cooler and more productive for sure!

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!
