The running community, virtual and real have 
always been an amazing support. I've have the good fortune of meeting a few bloggers in real life, and am hopeful that I'll meet a few others during my San Fran trip in Oct! I've also made lifelong friends through my running and triathlon clinics.
Imagine my surprise when I got an envelope in the mail from Tall Mom on Friday, perfectly timed to wish me luck for my first tri on Sunday! Thanks Mel!
A few weeks ago, I also got a care package from Damian, my friend/runner/blogger from Australia that came for a visit in July. Once he learned of all the things I've been deprived of, he ensured I had a reason to continue my training!
Thankfully I've found a local grocer that carry the Tim Tam cookies! :D Yum! Thanks again!
Now I'm just waiting on an early birthday present I bought myself to arrive in the mail... pics to come. Speaking of pics, I'm still waiting for the race photographers to post this weekend's race pics! Hopefully soon!
Tonight is our tri clinic's wrap up party... kinda bittersweet, but many of us have already discussed continuing to train together through to next year's clinic... like I said, more than just training partners, but friends.

I hope I am the first to respond here... Ohhhhh.. your birthay is coming up soon. I hope to be the first to wish you a Happy Birthday. Quite early, huh?
The virtual running community is amazing, huh? I think blogging is a terrific way to get support. I just love it.
How sweet is that! It's so fun getting surprises in the mail.
Love the "Canada Eh" - haha.
Looking forward to see some photos. I haven't seen any from my race either - not sure if I want to see those, though. :p
Someone told me they heard that there wouldn't be another tri clinic (at any RR location) after the current round due to liability issues...? Hopefully that is not the case. I'm sure you would know by now if it was. Have fun tonight!
in person and bloggy friends are both awesome! Glad you've got so much support.
awwww that's awesome and so sweet! It's great to see how the running community really reaches out to each other... :)
Sure is nice to get other things in the mail besides the usual bills!
Looks like some fun stuff came your way!
Happy (early) Birthday!
Awesome, letters and care packages!
I need to find an Australian buddy who will send me TimTam's!!!!!!!!!!! The carmel ones LOVE THOSE.
That is so awesome! I love getting mail and you my friend have got some great mail happening :)
Aaaaaaaaaw, that was so nice of Tall Mom. I agree, our blog running/swimming/tri people are the best in the whole world!
I am SOOOO Glad that the letter came in time. Once you sent me your address I made sure to put your race on my calendar so I knew when to send you a card. You are an inspiration and one day it would be GREAT to meet Canadian Mel :)
Hugs and love- Tall Mom
FYI---I HATE my handwriting, I will be typing all cards from now on.
love the care package - looks fantastic!!
