Lets see if 45 minutes on the phone with apple has repaired my soon-to-be non-precious. Intel + Apple = Frustrated Susan. Why ruin a good thing?
YAY! I had my first RBF meet up on Sunday! It was awesome and so much fun. Leah and Jason from Marathon Running were in Dallas for a Physicists conference this weekend*. I met them at their hotel to take them to White Rock Lake for a run – thankfully the drive was completely uneventful except for the 400 u-turns it took me to actually find the giant pool of water I passed several times!
I learned so much about Leah and Jason during our 9.13 mile run around the lake – we had a blast and talked non-stop. I was worried about fatigue since I had already run 4 miles earlier that day to test drive my new running skirt. I was having so much fun and felt even smarter after learning about their subb60 particle lifespan that I didn’t even notice my tiredness. The run was great and Leah and Jason are awesome. They even handled the heat like pros. (I hope that is the right name of the particle?) We had so much fun talking about all of you! You know who you are.
The drive home was almost equally uneventful – except witnessing a man driving over a mattress with his car and pulling it for a while with sparks flying everywhere – while not spilling a drop of his ice cream cone . . . please note that is completely unrelated to my inability to follow direction or drive.
Are all runners this nice? The RBF rocks and I can’t wait for my next meetup!
Sounds like fun! When are RBF people coming to SC? Sounds like a good run too with no fatigue. How did the running skirt hold up?
That’s terrific. I love these meetup stories. 🙂
Susan, just a suggestion – can you provide a link to their blog in this post? Thanks!
DUH!!! Sorry, I am a dolt. There it is RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.
awwe cute pictures! Glad you had fun!
Sounds like you guys had fun. I really like Jason and Leah’s blog.
That’s very cool. Isn’t it weird meeting RBF folk in person? The all seem so normal then. 🙂
I am glad to hear you had a great run with Jason and Leah. I discovered your blog through their website.
So that explains some of your problems with your Mac… it has the intel chip! I refuse to buy any Mac that has any PC component to it. After all, that is what makes Macs so great- no PC affiliation! Actually, I was quite upset by the launch of Boot Camp (which allows you to run Windows XP on your Mac). I just think that all of these PC additions are going to keep Macs from being as stable as they currently are.
Sorry for the Mac rant! I really enjoy your blog; thank you 🙂

How fun – and you ran 13 miles! Don’t look now but that’s a 1/2 marathon and no, it doesn’t matter that you did it in 2 chunks. You did it!
What fun! I can’t wait for my first RBF meetup! And yes I think all runner are that nice. Well… all the ones I have met and run into on the trails seem very nice anyway!
another great blogger-hook-up-threesome!
and, it involved running!!
The only blogger meetup I have had so far is with all the people I already knew before hand. Sounds like you all had fun.
P.S. Did I tell you I had to deal with brutal 75 degree temps on Sunday?
Aw, sweet. I love meet-up stories.
Cool! Nice run!
Nice story! Any RBFers (F-ers…hehe) coming to Vancouver any time soon? No, not Vancouver, WA. I mean Vancouver, BC.
Susan, Don’t forget to reserve some time the day before the June marathon for an RBF lunch gathering in San Diego. Jeff and I are going to work out the details soon. Stay tuned!
Sorry, Susan. I botched the URL in my other message….Anyway, you and anyone reading this who’s also planning to run San Diego — be sure to let me know if you’re interested in joining your fellow RBF Rock ‘n’ Roll runners on June 3. E-mail link’s in my blog sidebar.
Most of us bloggers are not nearly that good-looking!! 🙂 Cute photos!
I just read the skirt review…I love those functional skirts, I always use the Terry bike skirts – much more flattering than bike shorts.
I am going to buy one of these running skirts.
Will I look as cool as you? I doubt it : )
Sounds like a great run. Running with others always helps me to boost speed or distance.
Susan-
It was so great meeting you! I didn’t notice the fatigue either while we were running. Make sure you send us a line if you are ever in Chicago and we can take you along the lakefront path!
Runners ARE that nice. I love RBF meetups. Glad you had such a good time.
Those are great pictures. When we came up with the RBF this was our goal, it makes us REALLY happy to see runners coming together like this. Thank-you so much for putting in the effort, because that is how great friendships start and grow!!
do you think you could have ruined the chip when YOU LICKED YOUR BLOODY COMPUTER?!?! saliva and electonics do not make good mates.
am i the only one who’s been on IMDB.com because of this blog? i have jennifer jason leigh on my brain because of jason and leah. tangents. my world is runned by tangents. that could be a bad sine!
i’m friendly! really! when i return to dallas, we’re running… in our skirts!
Only the nice ones Susan! 😉
and being super super friendly makes me super super happy
oh! fun with fotos! i love RBF meet-up stories, makes me look forward to SD that much more!
Great post. Fantastic that you are able to meet up with blogging buddies! If I’m every your way I’ll have to remember that!
Great post! I have been reading your blog for a while and just recently joined the RBF. I love how supportive everyone is of each other. I loved the running skirt, by the way. I may have to get one for myself.
Great picture and always nice to see runners come together!
