ZOOOOOOOOOMA!

No, not me, i am what seems like the only Chicago running blogger NOT running Zooma this weekend!  They have no desire to have a scrapper like me as an ambassador, and scrappers like me have already spent WAY too much money on races this year.  

I had an epiphany that maybe i should makeover my blog to present a more healthy living and motivational approach, in hopes of becoming an ambassador to something, but to be honest, i don't have the patience for that level of commitment, or that level of sobriety.  I will for ever be the ambassador of martinis and trouble.

I digress.  I actually considered running the Zooma 5k for a hot minute, but i ultimately decided it was a bad call with the Dublin marathon next weekend.  And you don't get a necklace for the 5k, i want a freaking necklace!

I digress again.  I am going to Zooma and setting up the Gingerfoxxx cheer zone!  Don't expect too much, because it will probably just be me, dancing like an idiot.  But - I will have snacks!  I loaded my car up with Red vines, swedish fish, and pretzels - it's gonna be a party!  I just have to figure out the best location now - I am thinking around mile 10-ish.  

Where would YOU prefer to see my smiling face? Are you running? - I will try to spot you...and probably fail.  Do you have any snack requests?  Is anyone else spectating??  Good luck this weekend ladies!!  Lake Geneva is one of my favoritest places to run - it's BEAUTIFUL!

  2. Well, since most of us are wearing green knee socks with a white heart on them, you might be able to find us. Maybe.

  3. I am not running it either, and I wish I was!

    I am with you, I can't make my blog a healthy blog no matter how hard I try, I don't have the will power to make the changes I need to.

    So I will be ambassador less with you. ;)

  7. If I could get away, I'd bring a bloody mary bar. Too bad my weekend is jam packed with mostly not fun prior commitments.

  8. Hopefully you pick a good spectating spot! Heard that last year's race had some near accidents between runners or spectators and cars on the roads since it's a closed course.

    I am laying around in misery all week since I have a bum foot and can't do anything :(

  9. What a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty that you were not chosen as a race ambassador. I am not going to the race in protest!

  10. Martinis and trouble? Sounds like my entire 4 years of college. Mixed in with some shots and bad decisions. Oh the good days...
