I cannot believe that ZOOMA Annapolis is almost here. It feels like ages ago that I applied to be a race ambassador and was accepted! And well, race week is here! I swear, I love this race but this race must not love me. Last year, I almost didn’t run because of some family issues that interfered with my training. And this year, I have to say, with the stress of work and the move, my lack of training has me doubting myself yet again. Plus, my IT Band was extra cranky during 5 miles yesterday… not exactly the way you want to head into race weekend. So I hate to say this but I am contemplating dropping down to the 10k. I have a whole lot of running ahead of me this summer with Hood to Coast and don’t want to risk hurting myself. But, I am stubborn and feel like I have to run it since that is what I signed up to run! Yes, the inside of my brain is a scary place! I have no idea what to do but plan to run a few miles today to see if the leg is any better.
But, aside from being a debbie downer about MY race, I am SO EXCITED for the ZOOMA Annapolis Half Marathon Challenge ladies! These gals have been working so hard to run their first half marathon with ZOOMA {article here}. It has been such an honor to work and run with them and I can’t wait to see their faces when they cross that finish line!
To celebrate the training cycle, there is an end of the training party tomorrow at Charm City Run in Annapolis! There will be a short run at 6pm followed by festivities at 6:30pm. Click HERE for more details and to RSVP!
If you can’t make it to the end of training party, be sure to check out the Mocktail Party with Honest Tea on Friday night from 7-8pm at the Loews Hotel Atrium. Runners and their support crew are welcome! Click HERE for more details and to RSVP!
Let me know if you are attending any of these events! I would love to meet you!
