hey, everyone! things over here are going well other than me really feeling like not being at work and legs being extremely sore from this past weekend's camping trip. 9 of us climbed Wheeler Peak, the highest point in NM. the hardest part of the trip was carrying up the 35-lb packs up the hill, but in the end it was worth it. saw a few lakes and there was even some snow still up top. no pictures yet, but I'll post some later.
however.... the big news of this post is from the weekend before this past, when jenny*in*london and i had a rendez-vous in Santa Fe! she happened to be in town for a wedding, so we decided (or I did at least) that we just had to meet up. ...and it was a blast! my first ever meet-up with an EPer in real life! i was a little nervous and mucho excited because you never know how things like this will turn out. ...but it ended up being just super awesome and not at all awkward & I was really amazed at how much jenny & I had in common (besides the EP thread, of course). first I drove up to santa fe, we met up in the plaza, grabbed a bite at a local cafe, walked around, and just gabbed a bunch. later that evening, we met up on my turf, in Abq, to eat some new mexico famous green-chile & pepperoni pizza.
here's a pic that D took of us (btw, he was just as cute and nice and fun as jenny descibed =) ):
come visit again soon, jenny!

So cute!
You two are so cute. And little. Look how little you look!
Yay for real-life EP-extravaganzas! and yes, we must do it again. maybe this time you'll hop across the pond to my turf, and I can introduce to you to proper English fare and fun!
Hmmmm, I've only met one person here in the Bay Area and thats RBR (Stacey). And AndreaN flew all the way out here from Boston to meet us, too. Since they are both running the Nike marathon, I figure I'm gonna get to meet them again soon. I couldn't get in that one, it was sold out. They are die-hards! :) I've met a few other bloggers down in Southern California, but they don't blog anymore.
Yes, a getting together to run a race would be fun. Not as much fun as a big party, but still fun. LOL Yea, I'm not interested in running or training for a marathon. But I'd do a 5 or 10K!
I've just met one EPer as well, pretty cool! Wheeler Peak sounds great. It's nice when you have active friends as well, definitely keeps up the motivation to stay fit.
I really have to make a trip to NM soon. B and I were supposed to go next weekend for Jemez Feast but I've gotta go to Dallas and he has to be in NC. Oh well, someday...
