Unplanned 10 miles + Zooma Run to Napa contest

January 21, 2014 by MCM Mama 12 Comments

Yesterday was a beautiful day.  High 50s and sunny with not a lot of wind.  Jones had a dentist appointment and then Beer Geek went out on a 2 hour bike ride.  Finally, at around 3, it was my turn.  My intention was 4-6 miles of easy running.

It wasn’t a perfect run.  I had issues with my calf tightening and my foot going numb.  I had a bit of pain in my right foot. But, somehow, I got in a groove and kept going and going until I realized dusk was approaching and I wasn’t dressed appropriately.  I picked it up for the last mile and actually ran it at under a 10 minute pace.  I felt accomplished and strong when I finished.  I didn’t intend to sneak up on my long run, but obviously it worked!

More importantly, Zooma is running a contest!  They are looking for an inspirational blogger who they will send, along with a reader, to run Zooma Napa Valley!  All expenses paid!  And I’m not entering, so you have a chance to win. ;o)

    An unintentional long run – well done! There’s no need to dread it if you didn’t actually plan on doing it. And to finish feeling strong – they’re the runs that we all love.

    Thanks for the shoutout. Winning that trip would really help with my quest to #RaceAll50… this little adventure is getting expensive, no? Hubby says I gotta scale back the travel in ’14… oh poo! 😉

A slightly obnoxious mom and wife who loves good beer and running, who struggles a bit with depression especially in the winter and when running isn’t allowed, who’d rather go on a fun vacation than upgrade the kitchen or add a master bath, and has a minor addiction to the Marine Corps Marathon.
