Fancy Meeting You Here

LAST NIGHT
Last night I met running blogger Penny. She's in town with her son scoping out a couple of the colleges here. A while back she had posted a picture of herself wearing a chicken hat during Oktoberfest. I thought it was pretty funny and wanted to know about getting one. Well, much to my surprise, she brought me the hat! I intend to use the hat for work related parties, kind of like payback. Long story, but my boss has this thing for making us wear ridiculous hats on special occasions.


TODAY
Activity: Run
Date: 11/08/08 08:50 AM
Distance: 3.01 miles
Time: 0:33:57

I met with Penny, AKA Alice and Betty for a 3 mile run at Seaport Village. AKA Alice and Betty live HERE, and I've never actually met them, although I'm sure we've seen each other plenty of times at track club runs. I don't know why we haven't really met until today. They know my husband because he ran at about their pace during marathon training. It was fun running with other people again. I actually did better.

Penny brought her dog, Velcro, along for the run. What a sweet and well behaved dog! I wish I would have taken a picture of Velcro, but she's there in the picture above, at the bottom left corner.

It was awesome meeting all of you!! And you are SUPERWOMAN!!!! You had a wonderful run!!! You are my hero for I would have complained the entire way if I had been coming back from the injury you had!!!! I'm going to turn over a new leaf and try not to complain!!!!

I'm so glad we all got together for a run! How cool is it to meet blogging buddies!!! I love that!

I so want to come back down to San Diego and run with all of you again! I don't really have a group of women to run with up here-just velcro and I. And I really enjoyed it!!!! Maybe I'll come down for a long run!!!

Sorry I've been a little MIA lately. :(

Look at you! Running!! I'm so freakin' happy!!! How are you feeling? Everything going well now? Your speed looks really good and you are burnin' those cals I see. How's the pain factor? I hope next to nothing.

Great pics. Looks like you had a good time. Meeting new people is always fun.

Oh! You've been tagged too!
