So It Finally Happened!

Today was one of the best 6 mile treadmill runs that I have ever had and the time flew by so quickly! Why? Because I finally met Caroline who blogs over at Canadian Runner in Exile. Her weight loss story is unbelievable and looks amazing! She just PR'd her 10th half marathon on Saturday so stop by her blog and give her some love.  
Caroline and I email back and forth, she gives me great race advice, we run the same races, we show up in each others race photos, and we even go to the same gym yet we have never met. I spotted her about to get on her usual treadmill at the gym and tapped her on the back and it was non-stop talking for 6 miles! I think I talked her head off..sorry Caroline! We had some great conversation and she is such a wonderful down to earth person! I also met her two sons on the way out and they are so cute with big beautiful smiles and blue eyes!

I also want to mention that Caroline is the one who is responsible for my new blog header. She so kindly offered to give it a makeover for me. I have received numerous compliments on it and I really love it and appreciate it. Thank You Caroline!! So if you need a new blog header, you should hire her!!

This lady is everything I thought that she would be and then some. Now if I can just convince her to run a race with me!

  5. I found you through Caroline's blog. I'm also in Rancho. I ran with her once for a virtual memorial run and I could just listen to her talk all day. She is a lot of fun.

  6. Caroline had invited me on that run but I think I was injured at the time. I could have met you as well! She is a great person. I am glad I finally met her! We should all get together for a run one day since we are all in the same city!

    1. I won't be able to keep up with you for long, but that'd be fun. I see that you did the. Claremont Turkey Trot last year, I do that every year. Maybe we'll cross paths at a local race.
