Last night, Altra Zero Drop and Runner's World generously sponsored a blogger's BBQ and tour at the Runner's World headquarters. We met all the editors of Runner's World, got fitted for shoes and feasted!
On our tour of the Runner's World headquarters, we learned all their secrets and I'm ready to spill them.
Ok, just kidding.
Highlight was checking out Bart Yasso's office, with the running legend himself:

Have you ever met any blogger buddies in real life?
I've met a handful and each time I've been impressed with how they are pretty similar to what I had imagined-- passionate, fun, interesting, etc. I'm looking forward to connecting and running with even more of my buddies this weekend :)
What a nice event!
ReplyDeleteI haven't met any bloggers in real life, but I definitely hope to one day!
Glad y'all are having such a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to follow everyone's weekend as it's sure to be a blast. Like you, I've only met a handful of my blogger friends, but it's so awesome when that happens. Have a fantastic weekend!
ReplyDeleteI will be running the 1/2 on Sunday! I can't wait. I graduated from Moravian College, where I ran cross-country and track for 4 years. Can't wait to hit the streets that I ran so many miles on!
ReplyDeleteThose footprint shoes look so cool! They should put stuff on shoe soles more often!
ReplyDeleteAhh! So envious. I love the neon green shoes--they are SO you! :)
ReplyDeleteI've met a few blog friends IRL and they've all turned into offline friends--I Skype with a friend in Trinidad a few times a week and we've met here in the States, and I'm going there in January, plus we're running a race together next month in Florida! I also have another friend I met in Miami for a race and we email back and forth almost every single day. She came to visit me over the summer, too. Blog friends are the best!
Have the best time! :)
Awesome on the runners world headquarters! Really cool that you got to meet Yasso and Burfoot! I love reading Burfoot's articles, they always ring true to me.
ReplyDeleteI am jealous times a million right now. :-)
ReplyDeletedang! check u out in runner's world HQ! :) looks like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteSo cool! Kiss (or high five) all of the famous runners for me!
ReplyDeleteThis is sooo great! It must be exciting to meet such great runners!
ReplyDeleteI met one blogger buddy so far, there is not too many in Hungary and while traveling we didn`t get the chance.
Awesome weekend! Definitely jealous you were able to tour the mecca of running :) Cant wait to hear about the hattrick!
ReplyDeleteI met a handful of bloggers and it was amazing every single time! On side it was a stranger on the other side, we knew each other so well and hit it right off!
