This afternoon I met Monica from RunEatRepeat for lunch at Café Rio. All we were trying to do is make Janae jealous.
Oh, speak of the devil…
After lunch Monica and I crossed the street to Yogurtland where a bloggers party was raging and taking over the joint. Our group was so big we were stealing chairs like Winona Ryder was in the building.
Pam and her too cute family: Rissa, Ryan and Royce. Thanks Pam for organizing our date today!
Yes, Yogurtland should pay Monica for that fabulous advertising. In fact their next campaign is going to feature her as a model.
After awhile we moved the party outdoors in the sun and talked some more. It’s sorta crazy weird how you can become friends with strangers.
And yes, Janae is just as friendly and sweet as she is on her blog. And Monica is as mean and evil. kidding.
All these girls are rad and I hope not too much of my turdiness rubbed off on them.
OUAL, we missed you but we poured out some Cristal melted froyo in memory of you.
What bloggers have you met IN REAL LIFE? Who would you like to meet?

Aww fun blogger meetup!! I’d love to meet all of you!! I went to FitBloggin in May and met sooo many awesome people! We also have an awesome blogging community in Cleveland.. soo some of my blends are truly my best friends!
ahhh how fun! I haven’t met ANY! But, I would love to meet you, Monica, Janetha, Mama Pea, Cely, and the list goes on! haha
So far, no one. But I get to 19 in August at Hood To Coast with Nuun’s team! Super excited to meet them.
I would love to meet you and at my fav yogurt shop would make it that much better. They either need to bring Yougurtland up North or I’m moving down South.
I would cry happy blog stalker tears of joy if I got to meet you SR!!!!!!! I’d also love to meet Janae and Jen @ peanut butter runner!
I have actually met SO MANY which is amazing but I cannot wait for Vegas to meet SO MANY MORE!!!!
So jealous of your Cafe Rio/Yogurtland meetup. I literally laughed out loud when there was Janae sitting at Yogurtland… of course she was there!!
Ahhh! So jealous!!!! Glad you girls all got together!!!! I think I’m gonna have to go to Menchies tonight… by myself.
Hey could be worse…you could be Menchies-less…like me
Miss it so much!! We have ‘sweet frog’ and it ain’t the same…
I met this really cool super talented blonde runner one time for fro-yo. It was the highlight of my life.
Fun meet up! I went to one meet up where I met a few of the Orlando bloggers and they are all very sweet. I’d like to meet any blogger really. I think everyone has fun stuff to talk about. It’s weird to first meet someone and chat like you’ve been friends forever because of a blog.
I have met a bunch of bloggers in person and they are all so amazingly nice and real! I’m hoping to meet more this year in Savannah and Vegas.
Derrrr, I’d like to meet u and “running off the reeses” in real life.
This post just blew my mind. I love all your blogs!
I’ve met YOU and OUAL…I think you guys count as celebs so I feel super cool. Should have asked for those autographs…
I have met Jess from Blonde Ponytail and Nicole from Geek Turned Athlete. There are a surprising number of bloggers in the Pacific Northwest! I would LOVE to meet more of you awesome ladies!
Three of my favorite bloggers all in the same place!
Meeting a bunch in Boulder this weekend at the Fitness Bloggers Conference: Miss Zippy, Cook Eat Train Run, Run with Jill, etc. Should be a blast. Although weird to only know people through the computer and finally meet them. I get nervous.
I’ve met you which was like meeting a freaking celebrity! My sister’s a blogger…but that doesn’t count:-) I’d like to meet Nik from Two Yuppies and a Puppy and Em from Today’s Letters and Darby and her twin sister Erika from Fly Through Our Window and Urban Grace! Oh and Kelle Hampton from Enjoying the Small Things (most of these are not runner’s blogs).
I want to meet you too! We could probably find like 3 bloggers in the whole state of KY to join us
Janae and I are BFF’s in real life… so you’re lucky to steal her away from me for the next 7 weeks.
I’m going through serious Janae withdrawals. I may have to come to Cali and visit. I couldn’t go running with you guys though… I am NOT a fast runner. lol. Maybe I could drive a golf cart and give you guys water and swedish fish…
I so wish i lived in California so I could meet all of you amazing Bloggers, run and eat at Yogurtland! We have 1 “Froyo World” here in CT and as soon as I can find some CT Bloggers we will soon after be taking over. It will be an East coast/West coast Frozen Yogurt blogger domination! Awesome!
Where in CT is this ?? heading to Google now
New Haven right down the street from Frank Pepe Pizza!!
It’s in New Haven right down the street from Frank Pepe Pizza!
I am definitely going !
I love all bloggers and I TOTALLY want to meet you!!!
AHH! I’m so jealous of your meetup. I’ve met a couple of bloggers that I didn’t already know before their blogs
. I’ve met BookWormRuns and Jill @ Run for the Hills. It’d be too cool to meet you and Janae. Why do you guys have to live on the complete opposite side of the country? (or maybe the question is why am I too poor to travel? lol)
I am SO jealous that you got to meet Janae!!! I’ll be ins SD July 2-9 so maybe I’ll bump into her running since I know you’ll be in Alaska. Would it be weird if I started chasing after her and Billy???? Do you think they would start running faster or even away!!
Tabitha, I am in SD! Are you running Coronado on the 4th of July?! If so there are a few of us that will be there!
YES, I am running it!! That would be awesome to meet up!! I use to blog all the time but life happened/ I went to graduate school
I just started blogging again and running consistently . I normally run alone so it would be great to have people to run with while on vacation!
WE HAVE TO HANG OUT!!!! I WOULD LOVE RUNNING WITH YOU!!!
THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!! My students will die. I might have mentioned you a few times last year. I’m excited to try some Fro-Yo. We have a Sweet Frogs in my area that is fantastic.
I would love to meet you (shameless sucking up…but I’m telling the truth!!), Julie from PB Fingers and Lauren from Team Giles. Quite an eclectic group…
Ok so my FB profile if a picture of my Father who passed away. Just didn’t want her thinking some dude would be chasing her down
Tabb
Angie from Bitchy Runners is my sister in law. Does that count?
Ah! FUN TIMES!! I get to do a HUGE bloggy meet-up for RnR Seattle! Wanna fly up to the PNW for a day? Okay, Vegas then. Looking forward to meeting you all and Pam in December!
Can’t wait Jess!!
Love your “it’s sort of weird how you can become friends with strangers” quote. I just met up with another local blogger for the third time tonight. It is strange, but sort of cool to have a bond through blogging.
Glad you had fun meeting up with everyone!
There are so many amazing strangers out there blogging!! Reading their blogs they just kind of sneak into your life. SR your at the top of my list to meet.
Darn it! I’m a week late and a dollar short. I was at Disneyland this time last week. I could have totally gone for an escape to Yogurtland. Would have loved to meet you speed demons!
wow u had a full day of bloggy meet-ups! you guys were by far the hottest chicks tearing up the froyo joint.
i’m jealous i’m not down in CA to take part, i’ve only been able to meet one other runner blogger but i’d like to be able to make it some of those conventions.
I have yet to meet anyone. But I just pretend I’m on all of your dates. If you start visiting my blog, I may just start photoshopping myself into your pictures! Not a joke.
Also, how is it that Pam has had those kids and still looks that amazing? I feel like I would look like an 80 year old gorilla next to her.
Jealous! Look at all you Cali babes!!!
i really want to know how pam manages to have a daughter as old as rissa, but instead they look like sisters…
seriously pam, tell me your secrets!
ahhhh…so sweet! thanx! I was a young mommy when I had my daughter…like 20!
I feel like the girls’ mamacita!! 
So fun!!
I’m real life friends with Becka at 50halfmarathonsin50states, and I’ve met Ronda @Little Fruit Fly, Leslie @Racing It Off, and OUAL.
I’m in OC, I’d love to meet up sometime. But for froyo, not running. You’d leave me in the dust faaaast
heather email me at skinnyrunnerblog@gmail.com and we’ll set up another froyo date with janae.
Love all you beautiful ladies!! You inspire me everyday to put my best shoe forward!! The kids and I had a very nice afternoon!! It was soo nice to finally meet Janae! We’ve been pen pals for awhile. I love that you ladies are so real, sincere and just wonderful! So, nice to talk to friends that “get it!!”
xo
I’m a new blogger and haven’t met any bloggers yet – but I would loooove to meet both you and Janae because you are both hysterical!
Ah! This post makes me jealous. Five months of living in China and eating stir fry everyday has left me dreaming of Cafe Rio every night
Looks like you guys had so much fun. Makes me want to move to the Westcoast and eat Yogurtland ( ireally don’t like yogurt or ice cream though, I know, I am weird, but would still b fun to hang out). Only bloggers I have met in real life are from the Cleveland area and I always feel like we are all BFFs. I will be in Vegas this year for the marathon so I am hoping to meet a bunch of bloggers there!
i have a friend who blogs. other than that, i met your husband in an elevator in dallas for the half back in march 2010.
great pictures!

How fun!! I’d love to have a bloggie meet up someday! Makes me want to move to CA so I can come meet up with you guys all of the time!
I would LOVE to meet SUAR
hmm i feel too much like a stalker answering this lol. but i do agree with free refills although they might go out of business
uh meeting you guys is my dreammmmmmmmmm
SR and HRG together with foro-yo?!? You guys are really killing me. That would be the best day ever.
You killed me so bad that I lost the ability to spell.
Ok I totally need to get in on this because I live in Costa Mesa (right by Cafe Rio and Yogurtland!) Do you guys take applications for bloggers who don’t run but are still cute?
Oh and I’ve met OUAL in real life!!
its tough to get in. basically just email me and we’ll set something up. like i said, tough to get in.
oh and p.s. Whenever I see a smart car, I always peek to see if it’s you!
(does that make me sound like a stalker? )
I would so love to meet you and Janae (should I just camp out at a froyo?!?!) plus chelsey (clean-eating chelsey) and angela (oh she glows). Those are the ones I thought of right away off the top of my mind!!!
The two bloggers I want to meet most are you and Janae! My boyfriend may have just had to listen to me annoyingly fake cry because I’m visiting him in California right now and obviously had to whine that instead of spending yesterday in Disneyland with him, I could have been in Yogurtland with YOU GUYS.
… seriously. My invite. Where did it go?
I met Janae at Yogurtland, of course. And my little girl now refers to her as her best friend. Take good care of her for us!
