Last night, I had a fun night with some of my blogging besties. We met up at Universal Sole downtown for the Chicago Area Runners Association half marathon training kick off. Zooma Chicago is one of their race options for the training, so we double dipped and celebrated our first event as Zooma ambassadors.First, Sierra and I went for a lovely 3.3-mile jaunt around the lake with the other runners. Sierra is running her first marathon this weekend, so we chatted strategy and last-minute considerations. She's going to kill it!
Then, Lauren, Katie and Sarah to learn more about the training program, foam rolling and the mental aspect of running. We also met up with our Muscle Milk hook up. Thanks, ladies, for keeping the protein flowing! You can still enter my Muscle Milk giveaway, by the way.

The kickoff looks like it was a lot of fun. I love fun runs, especially when free stuff is involved. I, too, have a hard time passing up running shoes. Those Brooks Ravennas are gorgeous--makes me sad I don't run in a stability shoe.
The strength it took not to bring back a new pair of kicks is hard! I try to remind myself that I'll be due for another pair soon enough!
Glad you had fun! Enjoy the day!
I totally agree, I wanted to take them all home!
Great evening - we'll have to set up some ZOOMA training runs soon:)
Good self control on the shoes! I have a new pair of Brooks sitting in my online cart as we speak, tempting me...
The kick-off looks fun! I wanted to go since I'm running the 10k, but Mondays are way too busy.
I am amazed at the self-control on the shoes! Glad you had a good time, looks like a lot of fun :)
Sounds like a fun evening - I like the Zooma/CARA partnership a lot!
I am jealous! That looks like a fun time.
I am jealous. Looks like a great time at the kick off!
