ZOOMA florida training run

This is a sponsored post. I am a race Ambassador for ZOOMA Florida and have received a complimentary race entry as compensation for my post. All opinions are my own.

Now that I’ve had a little time to decompress from my first half marathon, I’m ready to focus my energies on ZOOMA Florida, to be held in Amelia Island on January 18.

Of course, I have to make sure that my training is getting back up to speed, and there’s no better way to do that than with a great group of runners.

On Sunday, Kristin and I invited some ladies to take a 3.1 (ish) mile run and then come back to enjoy some chilled chocolate Muscle Milk Light for recovery. We had planned a little bit more of a scenic route, but the area had experienced really awful thunder and lightning storms until about two hours before the run, so we switched it to a location where we had some shade and cover and a place to hang out and chat while waiting for everyone to make it back.

It worked out great.

The weather did end up cooperating, and the group did great.

Upon their return, we handed out adorable ZOOMA goody bags, full of great sponsor treats:

We all chatted some more about the ZOOMA half marathon and 5K in January, and I have to say, I cannot wait for the big day to arrive. I was dragging a little, but seeing so much excitement and enthusiasm for the sport and for the upcoming event really gave me a huge boost.

The countdown is on for the 18th and I am looking forward to more ZOOMA events and training runs leading up to that weekend.
