Cupcakes with strangers

by SkinnyRunner on November 8, 2011

After the NYCM race Sunday, HRG and I walked out of the forever and a day long finish area, grabbed a cab and headed over to Crumbs to meet new friends.

I’m generally horrible at remembering anything that doesn’t involve me so please comment and leave me your name/blog if I forgot you.

The adorably sweet and southern Katie and her fiancé Nick.  Katie is not actually blind, but my supersweet photography skills have the ability to do that to people.

Cat, Catie and Heather.  All three of these lassies are New Yorkers which means Cat in a cab driver, Catie has a little hot dog cart and Heather, I’m pretty sure, is actually the Naked Cowboy.  stereotype, what.

Thanks to you all for coming, stopping by and saying hi.  It’s seriously so much fun to meet people who share some sort of the same passion, whether that be running, being vain and taking pictures of yourself, or cupcakes.

This weekend was a big weekend for me, but for once (and only once) I don’t want it to be about only me; if you ran a race, send me a picture about it and I’ll post it.

Ashley ran her very first half marathon this weekend in Savannah, congrats girl!

I have heard sooo freakin’ much about Crumbs. Sadly, I will probably never be able to imbibe.

Looks like you guys had a great time; it’s so cool to see HRG on a different site!

I’m pretty sure when you took that picture, you said act like you love each other. I guess I’m not good at acting.

Great to meet you!

I’m going to have my first ever marathon photo this upcoming saturday (Richmond Marathon) and I’m totally going to send it to you because it is also my lifelong dream to be featured on your skinny runner blog :)

Oh my gosh for some reason Run for the Bikini Katie looks totally different in your photo from how I pictured her based on her blog. Interesting.

It was so awesome meeting you both even though I’m socially awkward and my son was a super crank!

Neon Runner~ It is funny, I often think I look different in pictures than how I see myself haha. I like about 49% of picture of myself.

I actually drive a hot dog cart AS a cab. It feels more authentic.
