Nike Women’s Marathon blogger meet up

Today Mike & I checked out a new to us mall.  There’s so much to see where we live, so we usually like to check out new stuff on the weekends.

We didn’t even spend much, but the Hallmark store sucked me in with their Peanuts Christmas stuff. 

How cute is this!?

Every year I really want to decorate my house with this stuff, but since I’m cheap, I don’t.

Maybe I’ll make it to the day after Christmas sale this year.

It was lunch time so we stopped at Rubio’s. If you have one close by, definitely try it.

This place rocks!

While walking around I got a sweet text from Janae inviting me to San Francisco for dinner with her & a few other bloggers at Sauce: Belden.

Uh, does a bear poop in the woods??

We got there a little early so Mike had a couple drinks and ordered bruschetta.

I had the Cobb salad without onions & eggs.

Mike rolled with the chicken.

Everything was really good.  Maria, you did a great job picking a great place!

I was stoked to finally meet one of my favorite bloggers, Skinny Runner!  I think she’s an online celebrity or some sort of coolness status.

Left to right Maria, me, Mike, Sarah, Kristin, Janae & baby Brooke.

These girls have inspired me for years.  I even get sad when SR goes fishing and doesn’t post. 

The nerve.

But really, thank you all so much for letting Mike & I hang out this evening.  It was such a pleasure to meet with blogger “friends” I adore and have followed for so long.

Good luck running the Nike Women’s Marathon tomorrow!!

If you have a gazillion hit’s on you blog, it’s probably not me stalking reading your recaps.

***Thank you so much Billy & Mike for being our photographers this evening.

P.S Janae, Mike is really sad he didn’t get to hold Spikey. I guess you’ll have to come over & do your laundry soon.
