ZOOMA Virtual Run

October 14, 2012 | fitness, motivation, running, Uncategorized

 

Good morning friends! I am finally HOME and it feels good. Lots of catching up to do, and my race recap from my half marathon is coming on Wednesday, but for today I want to tell you about something really cool taking place in two weekends.

I have mentioned before that I am a race ambassador for the ZOOMA Florida event. Well, all the ambassadors are going to be hosting in person or virtual runs on the weekend of the 27th! I will be running the Jazz Half that weekend so I can’t host an in person run, but I would love to have YOU participate virtually. Oh you want incentive? Well, ZOOMA will randomly be awarding prizes to participants.  All you have to do is post about the run on your blog or post photos of you participating in your hometown on the ZOOMA Facebook page. You can run whatever mileage you are at on your training plan. on either the 27th or 28th of October. So, a lot of you will be running anyway? So why not join in the fun for a chance to win cool stuff!?!? (Don’t forget if you register for ZOOMA FL to enter code FLAMB4 at checkout for a 10% discount!)

Did you say DISCOUNT?!?

Also, I would personally LOVE to know if you plan on participating, so I can give you a shout out when I do a round up post about the virtual run! So, in addition to making sure you post about your participation in the virtual run (link back to here!) or posting photos on ZOOMA’s facebook wall, please please let me know you are participating so I can make sure to remind you (if you want) and include you in my post afterwards. You can leave a comment here, email me at runningwithsass@gmail.com, or both. I would love to hear from you! So, who’s with me?!? (Note: this is a laid back fun thing, you don’t have to sign up anywhere, just let me know you participated and either blog about it or post a photo to ZOOMA’s Facebook page to be eligible for prizes!)

QOTD: Do you plan to participate? Have you ever done a virtual run?

    I’m in! I’ve never done a virtual run before. My friend and I are training for the Los Angeles Marathon (in March) with the L.A. Leggers running group (along with the Tinkerbell Half in Jan., and the Pasadena Half in Feb). 8 miles that day. I don’t have a blog, so all I do is take a picture of me on the 27th running with my group and post it to Zooma’s FB wall? Sounds fun!

#ad You’re ordering DoorDash anyway — might as wel #ad You’re ordering DoorDash anyway — might as well earn 5X fuel points at @krogerco while you do it 🙌 

This holiday season, I’m making my life a little easier with gift cards from Kroger. I grab a DoorDash card in-store, clip both the 4X and bonus 1X digital coupons in the Kroger app, and then I’m earning 5x fuel points while powering through the holiday hustle. 🎄

✨ It’s such a simple way to save at the pump while still checking off my holiday to-dos: decorating, wrapping, or just enjoying a cozy night in. Grab a Doordash, Lowes or One4All gift card at Kroger and clip both coupons at the link in my bio to earn 5X fuel points, but hurry, this offer ends 11/27!

Staying in an A-Frame cabin by Zook cabins at Val Staying in an A-Frame cabin by Zook cabins  at Valley Bear Farms felt like stepping into a real-life Pinterest board 🤍 (ad)

These architectural gems mix rustic charm with modern design—think soaring wood ceilings, giant picture windows, and a dreamy soaker tub that makes you never want to leave. 😍

We even brought our dogs along (yes, it’s dog-friendly!) and watched deer wander by through the trees. 🐾 

Valley Bear Farms is tucked in the mountains of North Carolina, surrounded by peaceful forest views and plenty to explore. The property has hiking trails, a cozy general store, and other on-site amenities that make it feel like a little mountain village all its own. ⛰️ 

If you’re craving a nature-filled, beautifully designed getaway where you can truly unwind, these A-Frame cabins are it.👍🏻

Not ready for a phone yet? SAME. 🙋‍♀️ The Cosmo Not ready for a phone yet? SAME. 🙋‍♀️ 

The Cosmo JrTrack 5 Smartwatch has been the perfect in-between for us — she can call and text the people I approve, I can see where she is with GPS, and it has school mode, SOS, activity tracking, and even a little camera she loves. 

We got the Holiday Bundle with the screen protector and LaunchPad stand, and it honestly just makes the whole thing easier. 

If you want the link, comment “watch” and I’ll have it sent straight to your inbox. 🎄⌚️✨

🎄 POV: Our Weekend Holiday Getaway in Pigeon Forge 🎄 POV: Our Weekend Holiday Getaway in Pigeon Forge 
There’s just something about the holidays in the Smoky Mountains — the lights, the laughter, the togetherness — it all feels extra magical. #sponsored

Our first stop was Dolly Parton’s Stampede, the world’s most visited dinner attraction, and it’s easy to see why. The pre-show in the Stampede Saloon had us singing along to country and Christmas classics before we sat down for a four-course feast that could rival any holiday dinner. 🐴 

Then the arena came alive with 32 magnificent horses, trick riders, and dancers bringing the spirit of the season to life with a friendly North vs. South Pole rivalry, toys that come alive, and even Santa arriving in a horse-drawn sleigh. Pure holiday joy from start to finish! 🎅🏻 

Next up was the Titanic Museum Attraction, beautifully transformed into an Elegant Edwardian Christmas, giving Titanic the Christmas voyage she never got.  We each received a boarding pass with the name of a real passenger, explored the Grand Staircase, and even touched the icy 28-degree water.  The interactive exhibits made history come alive, and it was such an emotional, unforgettable experience for all of us. 

And to end the weekend, we dove into adventure at Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show.  Led by Captain Blackbeard himself, the Crimson and Sapphire crews battled for treasure with acrobatics, mermaids, fire stunts, and even a sea lion! Between the four-course pirate feast and the jaw-dropping stunts, it was nonstop fun and the perfect grand finale to our Pigeon Forge weekend. 🏴‍☠️ 

 This trip reminded me that time together really is the best gift. Add Pigeon Forge and these incredible attractions to your holiday must-do list this season. ❤️

Comment “Pigeon Forge” and I’ll send you links to grab your tickets before they sell out!

Holiday hosting just got a whole lot easier ✨ As Holiday hosting just got a whole lot easier ✨ 

As a busy mom, I love serving a “wow” cocktail that looks impressive but takes almost zero effort. The Bartesian lets me skip the recipe testing, ingredient shopping, and playing bartender all night. Just pop in a capsule, add the appropriate spirit, choose your strength (or make it a mocktail!), and your drink is ready in about 30 seconds, with no measuring, no mess, no stress!

With over 50 cocktail options and multiple machine models to fit your needs, it’s become my go-to for all of our holiday events. 

🛍️ Black Friday came early—now through 12/3 save up to $150 off Bartesian Cocktail Makers!
