November and December – What? No blogger meet-ups?
Here’s hopping I meet lots of fun new running friends through blogging, MRTT, races, and life in general in 2015! If you’re one of my regular readers, and we haven’t gone on a run together (Deborah and M!), let’s fix that soon!
- Questions:
- Do you often run into people you know at races?
- What were some of your non-running/fitness 2014 goals?
- Have you set up your 2015 goals?
How fun! I am determined to make it into one of these photos this year. I am also thinking of doing a blogger brunch this spring-what do you think?

Sounds good! I’m working on my 2015 racing schedule now, so we’ll have to see if we ‘re planning on running any of the same races.
It was so awesome to meet you at the Fit Foodie events! And seeing you as I finished my last Ragnar leg was a bonus as well.
Hope to “run” into you in 2015!

I didn’t think about it when I was writing the post, but I guess we had a blogger meetup at our Hokie tailgate, too! 🙂
Very true!

Meeting up for another race would be so fun! Any chance you’re running ZOOMA in Annapolis. I’m running it with some of my friends from my running group.
