Blogging Buddy meetup with an awesome surprise!

So today I met "MJ" from "Girl Running" . Let me just say she is an absolute sweetheart and amazing to hang out with. We went to Track Shack to get her some real running shoes :D (though I must admit she did pretty darn well picking out her last pair... they were basically the same as the ones the professional fit her to today!). Then we went to Cheesecake Factory and had some AMAZING food (in addition to the chocolate chip pancake breakfast extravaganza this morning). I think I'm just going to count today as a nutritional disaster and move on....

While we were at track shack looking at neat things to spend our money on, we noticed an skinny runner-looking man in running gear. I whispered to MJ "Is that Jeff Galloway???" she peeked behind the tower of sports bras and said "I don't know... I think it might be!" We both whipped out our blackberries to confirm but neither of us could find a good enough picture (or shall I say no picture on a blackberry is clear enough to confirm an actual siting) so we instead asked the saleswoman at the front desk.

**drumroll please**

It WAS Jeff Galloway! MJ and I immediately became insanely giddy and ran around the store looking for things for him to autograph for us. We each found a hat :D Then we made our way over and got them signed and we each got some personal running advice from one of the best ;).

It was truly awesome.

  5. He was here for the kick off of the Galloway training program. He comes every year and talks to the group after we do our magic mile and holds a running school for an extra fee. He is awesome! I think he'll be here again in October to kick-off the half marathon program.
