5 great things on the horizon in ZOOMA amelia island

October 14, 2022      10 Comments

It’s here! It’s here! It’s finally here! ZOOMA Amelia Island weekend is here and I’m so beyond ready. Today, let’s share five great things on the horizon in ZOOMA Amelia Island!

This Swag

The ZOOMA brand of races is synonymous with a top-notch experience, including all the swag. I registered a really long time ago, so I am pretty much excited all over again. I think I ordered so early, that I also get a jacket? Maybe? It’s anyone’s guess!

These Medals

Do I love gorgeous medals? Yes. That’s me. These beauties are just stunning, and while I won’t be collecting them all, that jellyfish is coming home with me!

An Automatic PR

No matter what, Sunday’s race should be a PR. I have never run a 12K before, at least not that I can remember, so that’s pretty exciting. It’s been a long time since I was able to take home a record for something.

A Racecation

My last racecation was maybe in Safety Harbor? Last October? That’s way too long, and it shall not happen again! Racecations are the best, especially when you get to share with friends you love.

This Meghan

Which brings us to this Meghan! We get the whole weekend together in Amelia Island! It’s just like old times – I, in fact, MET Meghan when we were both ambassadors for ZOOMA Amelia Island way back in the day. Oh, what a trip down memory lane. Let’s see if we can’t make this the best one yet!

    I don’t think I’ve ever run a 12k either- that’s a fun distance. The swag and medals for this race are REALLY nice! Good luck, have fun, and I can’t wait to hear all about it.

    That looks fun! I love a good racecation! 12K is great for that b/c it won’t stop you from exploring Amelia Island. Enjoy!

    Those MEDALS!! How pretty are they?! I especially love the jellyfish one with those purple, turquoise and orange colours. What I look forward to at a racecation – definitely the racecourse as its often completely new to me; I usually combine the race with some “holiday” excursions which also adds to the fun; and also, just being away from home for a little bit, even if it’s just the weekend.

      I straight up swooned over the jellyfish. It’s so pretty in the sun.

      I definitely need to get back in the racecation vibe.

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?!
