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?
I love the idea of a blogger brunch Deborah
Count me in for your bloggers’ brunch!
Love this roundup! One of my favorite posts of the day. It was great meeting you this year and I am sure I will be seeing you next year as well!
Sounds great, Jenny! Looking forward to seeing you at a race or two in 2015!
This is such a great roundup of bloggers Debbie! You did a fantastic job meeting your goal this year.
Thanks, Kim. It was great meeting you, and seeing Rick again!
Such a fun post! It was great to meet you at the Leesburg 20k. Hopefully it won’t be too long before we meet up again!
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!
Hope to see you at a race or two as well!
I hope to see you at some Virginia Blogger meet ups next year!!
Ohhh, sounds like fun!
Wow! I’m impressed! What a great year of blogger meetups!
Thanks, Sue! It was so fun meeting so many of you guys!
love this – it was so fun getting to hang out at races this year. Can’t wUt to do it again in 2015 🙂
Same here, Courtney!
[…] seen several other runner friends, including Deb at Deb Runs and Christine and Pam at We Run Disney, posting year-end re-cap posts, so naturally that made me […]
[…] I was a regular social butterfly with my blogger friends in 2014! […]
Love this – so fun to see all so many smiling faces! It was great to meet you!
Thanks, Cynthia!
You did a great job on this goal! Glad I could contribute on three different occasions this year 🙂
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!
I love this! You met so many cool bloggers in 2014! I’m so glad that I got to meet YOU. We all need to race together again this year!
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.
