The Philly HM was only part of my fun weekend. On Friday night, I hit up the expo in order to avoid the mad rush on Saturday. I also met Matt for happy hour and restrained myself by only having 2 1/2 beers. I made up for that yesterday.
Amanda and I happened to be at the expo at the same time, so we chatted for a bit. Amanda kicked ass yesterday in the half!
I know I complain a lot about shirt sizing but this is ridiculous. Normally, the Philly Marathon has great long-sleeve tech shirts. Witty sayings and the fit is perfect. I always look forward to adding another Philly Marathon shirt to my rotation. Not this year. The grey shirt is last year’s shirt (size small, Endurafit) and the black is this year’s shirt (also size small, also Endurafit). Not cool Philly, not cool.
On Saturday, I headed back to the expo for a blogger meet-up. It’s so great to finally meet some of these ladies in-person! From left to right: me, Abby, Amanda, Gina, Kari, Katie, Megan, and Gene.
As I was leaving I spotted Bart Yasso at the Runner’s World table and no one was talking to him so I ran over for a quick picture. I love Bart! And I was bummed that I didn’t have my copy of My Life on the Run for him to sign 🙁
That’s it folks! Race recap will be up tomorrow.
I need to give a huge shout out to Alyssa and Kara for running 50 miles on Saturday (or, in Alyssa’s case, 50+ miles). You ladies are so inspiring and I hope to follow in your footsteps soon!
i THINK the shirt size difference will even out once you wash it a couple of times!
It was a great weekend! It’s nice so many people were able to get there at the same time on Saturday! And I’m glad you got to see (and get a picture with) Bart! The difference between last year’s and this year’s shirts is ridiculous! I wasn’t joking, my husband can wear it.
Congrats on the race! Sounds like you had a great weekend and met some awesome ladies! And Bart Yasso, of course. I always miss him at expos/appearances!
so cool that you met bart! i can’t wait to read your race recap!
You look so cute in that picture with Bart, so excited! How about you follow in my footsteps literally, as we do an ultra together??
I bet you did great with the race. I can’t wait to read about it. I’ve already heard stories of “the hill” from other bloggers. Yipes!
Thanks for the shout out! I win the prize for picking the right 50 mile race (mine was only 50.75!) haha.
sad I missed the blogger meetup 🙁
You did awesome, Kristy. Congratulations!!! I’m still bummed we didn’t get to meet, but I know we will some day!!!! Can’t wait to see your “flattering” race pics. ;o)
i totally high fived bart at the start line 🙂
it was so wonderful to meet you and i’m glad you really enjoyed the day!!!
Congrats on your awesome time! You also just made me realize I totally called Gene “Gary” on my post. Oops! The shirt (I got a small too) literally fits my husband. Ridiculous sizing.
Glad that I was finally able to meet you! I hope our paths cross again soon.
Oh wait! Just realized they will – on April 18th in Beantown 🙂
Yeah! I’m so excited for Boston!
Looks like it was a fun weekend!
