My Comeback Race - The ZOOMA Cape Cod Half Marathon

I refuse to let a silly thing like a torn calf muscle keep me down and depressed :)

I have made some decisions about my fall race scedule and moved back some goals I had set. I was signed up for a 50 mil race in August. Obviously this will have to wait, I will sign up for the November 3rd 50 miler ;)

With that in mind, I knew I wanted a race in early fall to help me get my feet wet and break back into the racing rhythm. Plus, when I am working out, I need a carrot. I need something to look forward to, to keep me going, to stay motivated.

Then, I got an invitation to be one of the ambassador's for the upcoming Half Marathon and 10K at Cape Cod!!!!!

ZOOMA is hosting a half marathon and 10K on Saturday September 22nd, in North Falmouth. Not only is this a fun race, it is a party! ZOOMA was started by 2 incredible women who wanted to create a fun racing atmosphere for women and men. The idea is to get a weekend away and enjoy a fun race with a post race party!

I am looking forward to this event. My heart belongs there at Cape Cod. It was the scene of my first ever half marathon, first 50K Ultra and where I ran my first BQ marathon. Now I will have the chance to once again, do another first, a half marathon post injury. A come back race! I am really looking forward to the experience.

Plus, having a post race after party, and getting jewlery at the finish line??? That sounds like the perfect end to a half marathon for me! Usually I go to races and there is beer. Now for this celiac gal, its a waste of time hehe BUT a glass of wine? I am all in for that!

So I hope all you local runner will join me for a fun race. You can register here. And I will have a discount code soon!! I will update it here when I get it :)
