I am super excited to be running the ZOOMA Napa Valley half marathon this weekend. It is my first ZOOMA race event, and I am super excited and honored to be running it as an ambassador this year. I have run in only a handful of women’s only races (Nike Women’s Half Marathon, Pretty Muddy 5K, Women’s Fitness Festival Half Marathon).
Running with only women gives a unique vibe to the whole racing experience. I like it. It is positive. Fun. It is just different… and I really enjoy the all women race experience.
I have only run in Napa one time. That was last fall when I ran the Ragnar Race Series San Francisco to Napa Valley. I do remember how beautiful Napa Valley is… and look forward to enjoying the beauty this weekend again!
ZOOMA Napa Valley Half Marathon & 10K is THIS WEEKEND, Saturday, June 28, 2014 in Napa, California. It starts at 8AM and is a sold out race (reached its full capacity). Yay!
ZOOMA’s newest fit girlfriends’ getaway will treat you to a scenic half marathon or 10K race in the luxurious Napa Valley. The race starts and finishes near the Napa Valley Marriott Hotel & Spa, the host resort, and runs on mostly flat terrain with awe-inspiring views of the vineyards and the mountain ranges that create the Valley.
Race Day Game Plan
I am all about running for fun lately. Racing for time and speed is not my goal at this point in my training. Running just to run is my only focus. I know that might sound like a boring race day game plan to you… but honestly, that is my game plan.
Have fun. Meet other amazing women runners at the expo, on the course, and after the race.
I might challenge myself to running the whole thing, no walk breaks. Still not focusing on speed… but rather mental game at this point.
Perhaps I could challenge myself to seeing how many selfies I could take while running!?
Honestly, I just want to have fun with 1,000 other women runners in Napa Valley. I have no time goal. I have no expectations besides running 13.1 miles with a large group of women!
As you are reading this, I will be driving down to Napa. Ready to leap for joy as I run through some amazing scenery in Napa!
Make sure you are following me on twitter, facebook and/or instagram for the latest in goofy updates, photos, and running updates!!
Have you been to Napa? Have you run in a ZOOMA Race before?
Have a great race!!! Will you be meeting up with Lynda from FitnessMomWineCountry?
Yes. I actually stayed with her Friday night. She is super nice (as is her husband). She finished and ROCKED her first half marathon today! 🙂
You’re going to rock the race! I would love to run a ZOOMA event! Enjoy the run 🙂
How was the race. Would love to do that one some day. And if you have any Ragnar tips please pass them on
Good luck! I can’t wait to read your race recap!
SO GLAD WE CONNECTED THERE!!!!!
Yes! It was SO nice to meet you (in real life). I LOVED your B.R.A.Z.E.N. goal setting talk too! 🙂 I look forward to hearing MORE of the awesome things in store for you!
