Runners World HHHalf, the start of a great weekend...

Sometimes in life we get opportunities that we never thought possible. I'm sure if you follow me in any social media way you have seen my adventures this past weekend in Boston. If you don't follow me, which you should:), keep reading. Here is a recap of the greatness of the weekend. I will go into more detail about certain things we got to do as the week goes on.

Runners World Heartbreak Hill Half & Festival. I ran the Hat Trick which consist of a 5k and 10k on Saturday morning and a half marathon on Sunday morning for a total of 22.4 miles for the weekend. I have ran this race with Runners World  2 years ago in Pennsylvania and if you ever have the chance to do a hat trick, I highly recommend it.

When I arrived at Boston College on Thursday afternoon to check into our dorms. Yeah that's right dorm life again! It was actually pretty fun for the many nights of laughs we had. However the beds were terrible for some of us elder bloggers. Although it was fun sneaking a few beers in the dorms and trying to not get caught, lol!

After checking in the residence hall, Katie and I waited for other people to show up. Dani from Weight off my Shoulders was my #ROOMIE. We had pre planned to be roomies after meeting at the RNR Nola in February. Love this girl. She is one of the realest (is that a word?) people I have ever met. MY # ROOMIE...

After everyone got there we headed to dinner at West End Johnnies to meet up with the Runners World Editors and Sharon Barbanos of Saucony and we watched an amazing film put together by Saucony and RW called Finding Strong.

Here is a small video of the film we watched...

Amazing right? Running is changing the way people think, countries think. Its the one sport that you don't need anything to do it. Just some running shoes and a clear mind. We had some amazing food and a great meet and greet with everyone...

After dinner we headed back to the dorms for an early nights rest. We had a 6am bus call on Friday to meet up with the awesome Beachy...
