Runners World Part 3, The Bloggers!

In case you haven't read Part 1 and Part 2, now you can:)
 
I wanted to tell you today about the fantastic Fit Fluential Ambassador bloggers that I met in the 4 days I was in Bethlehem.
Jill did a post here on this, and it inspired me to do the same.
 


I have always been a "people person". However I was still a little nervous coming into this experience. I would be meeting some really fast runners, great bloggers, Runners World editors, Bart Yasso, and an Olympian! Its a lot to take in at one time. But I will have to say it was way more than I expected and in a good way. So here we go...
MY ROOMIES! Jill, Tina, and Lindsay.
Amazing women! I had the best time hanging with you ladies this weekend.
Friends for life!
My partner in crime, Lynda! Love this girl!

Oakley ambassador Amanda hooked us up with some fabulous Oakley gear for the races.
I road tripped it with Amanda and Lynda and we had a blast.
 
Robin and Jess.
They are amazingly fast runners. Robin is going to be my go to person for my transition to the Tri world next year. Jess is a crossfit beast. Amazing!
One of the nicest people I have ever met. She was racing the 10k this weekend and stayed for Sunday to take pictures on the half marathon course for all of us. Amazing, and she rocked the 10k.
 
I have been reading Amanda's blog for a long time, she is such an inspiration. Elena is an amazing blogger that has a rock solid determination.
Harold was our resident "man blogger" of the weekend. I was excited about meeting Harold. Talk about motivation and speed, hes got it.
Kristen and Michelle.
They have been two of my favorite bloggers since I started blogging. I was excited about meeting them both.
 
Marcia and Alec. I am glad Marcia was able to make it for the weekend.
Kat. She was amazing and super fast.
Thanks to her boyfriend for putting up with us this weekend!
 

 
There were 26 of us representing ourselves and Fit Fluential.
I will be putting up a link wall of all the bloggers that attended next week.
Our weekend was amazing and I am so glad I got to meet every one of you guys.

Part 3 The Expo tomorrow.
And then the finale, The Race, on Friday!

QOTD: If you could meet any blogger who would it be?
 
I attended the Runners World festival as a Fit FLuential ambassadors.
Race fees were compensated. All opinions are all my own.

  5. I agree with Amanda - There was so much going on and we were all going in different directions that I really felt that I missed out on so much, even though we did so much. But it was great meeting you and everyone else. This one of those events that I will remember for the rest of my life :-)
