My Weekly Wrap is coming to you live from Chicago this week where I am actually with Holly and Wendy in person. Crazy how that works! This is my week of meeting up with loads of blogger friends in person- Epic Blogger Meet Up Week.
Epic Blogger Meet Up Week
Sunday- 25 ish mile bike ride
The start of my epic blogger meet up week began with a bike ride through Leesburg to see the Virginia LOVE sign with Coco and Deb. Beautiful day for a ride, a real Ultimate Coffee Date and fit blogger photo shoot. #BloggersOnBikes LOl.
Monday- 30 min elliptical + 60 min strength training
My legs were a little tired from the ride mostly arms and core work today.
Tuesday- 4 mile run + 60 m Vinyasa yoga class
My lower calf/achilles area is kind of bugging me when I run. Not sure what is going on there. Trying to keep it short and do some walk intervals. It was quite the sweaty one!
Wednesday- 90 m strength training + kick boxing
Wednesday workout never disappoints!
Thursday- 4 mile run
That achilles area is still pulling while I run. Hoping it holds up for RnR Chicago and the epic blogger meet up weekend. Of course, that did not stop me from getting a fun photo.
Friday- travel day to Chicago for my Epic Blogger Meet up
Clearly I am an over packer…
Made it to the expo to meet up with Michelle and Kim. Also got to meet the infamous “Kim’s Mom”. Scroll over to see all the expo fun.
Saturday- RnR 5K run
Epic blogger meet up continues! A little rain would not stop this powerhouse blogger crew from hitting the streets for the start of our Rock N Roll Chicago adventure. Had the chance to meet Kim, Kim, Michelle, Sara, Emily and Marcia all at once.
Epic blogger meet up weekend continued with a delicious brunch at Beatrix with more familiar faces.
We were joined by Hoho, Wendy, Linda and Suz what a treat! Mimosas were flowing and so was the conversation. Like we have known each other for years!
Today is the RnR half and 10K races
I plan to do the 10K and hope that calf holds out for me. Look for a recap of all the Chicago runs, food and fun on Wednesday.
For now, I am just beyond thrilled that I got to spend the weekend with this amazing bunch of women. Now this might be the best Weekly Wrap ever! It will be hard to beat this Epic Blogger Meet Up Weekend with Wendy and Hoho.
That’s so fun that so many bloggers were able to meet up for brunch! Good luck today and I have my fingers crossed your achilles will hold for you.
We had so much fun together
It sure looks like an amazing weekend! So cool how you all got to meet!
It was a blast!
It looks like you had so much fun! What a bummer about all the rain, though. Apparently, we had a lot at home as well, but it held out for our reunion in SWVA.
I hope you had a great race this morning! Can’t wait to see more pics on IG.
We had tons of fun despite the rains all weekend
I literally can’t put into words how much fun I had this weekend! So happy to have met you IRL.
Same here! Too fun and we all love your mom 💜
Hope you had a marvelous race (despite the rain)! I’ll bet it was a ton of fun no matter what.
I don’t consider myself an over packer, but I definitely don’t pack lightly. I’m sure I could go toe to toe with you!
Ha ha anytime in the packing! Looks like you were outfitted all weekend. We had a total blast despite the weather
I really wish I could have been there, but our mini meet-up last weekend takes some of the #fomo sting away. Of course I would love to meet everyone, but meeting Kim’s mom is the icing on the cake! Glad you had so much fun!
Kim’s mom is super cool! We missed you. I think I’ve talked them all into entering the CB lottery for next year!
Love the title of this post! I hope you race went well today and cant wait to hear more!
We had such a fun time together
I hope your calf held out for you! I cannot wait to hear your recap. I wish I’d known about it or been able to come. Would have been so awesome to meet/see everyone!
And, um, Wednesday’s picture on the Bosu AND stability ball? #beastmode for sure!!!
Calf is a little sore but made it through. Hopefully next time you can join us!
Hope your Chico half was great! It would have been so much fun to attend the epic blogger meet up!
It was a blast all weekend!
It was so amazing finally getting to meet you IRL! I feel like I’ve known you for a long time–so the meeting in person was like another link up, right? My only regret is that we didn’t have more time to spend together. I guess we will have to remedy that in the spring…
I feel like I have known you all forever and we were having a reunion of sorts. I am still smiling and yes lets make DC happen.
So many bloggers (and Kim’s mom)! Looks like it was such a fun weekend!
We really had a fabulous time together!
So happy we finally got to meet in person and had so much fun hanging out with everyone! Can’t stop smiling!
I know chatting with you was like meeting up with an old friend. Can’t wait until the next one!
It certainly was an epic weekend!!!!!! Now…we just have to make it happen again 😉
Yes we sure do! DC Cherry Blossom is calling your name
You met all the ladies! I’m jealous! Maybe I should just book this race for next year! You can all hang out together while you wait for me to trundle round!
We had a great time! it was so nice to meet everyone in real life.
Incredible! What an EPIC meet-up – amazing to think that blogging and running brought you all together. I too feel like I know everyone so well – I can imagine the conversation was flowing!
The conversation never stopped! Amazing weekend
It was so great to make you an IRL friend! Loved our 5k chat and thanks again for shower privileges. : )
I was glad that I got you all to myself for a bit! 🙂
Looks like a ton of fun! Did the rain help with the temps?
Yes it did cool it down but on Sunday it was really coming down hard for a while there
This looks like such a fun week. I hope the 10K went well!!!
It was pouring down rain but super fun
Thank you SO MUCH for including me in this weekend’s festivities! It was beyond great to finally meet you after all of these years–I just wish we had gotten more time to chat! I’m sorry the weather didn’t cooperate, but that is Chicago for you 😀 It is basically a teenager, lol!
Ha ha we still had a blast! Definitely have to do it again soon
Loved, loved, loved meeting you! We’ve got to get back together. Enough said. I hope your Achilles feels better. I assume it didn’t bother you during the race…or maybe there was just too much other stuff to talk about. 😉 I seriously over packed because I couldn’t decide if it would be cool or warm. Wendy had to help sit on my suitcase so I could zip it. LOL. I wish we could have made that Sunday night dinner at the airport happen! Next time? Thanks for linking!
Yes we will certainly make it happen again soon! DC Cherry Blossom is calling your name! I never got to wear those cute sun dresses I packed either 🙂
I love the Expo fitting room. More need to ofder that. Glad you had a great trip
It was super fun for an expo don’t you think!
Oh my goodness I’m so jealous! I love meeting blogger friends in person and that looks like a rockin’ group! I hope next year during my travels I get to meet more blogger friends 🙂
Please let me know if you ever come to DC for a race
I will at some point and I will definitely let you know!
