I'm talking about Fleet Week, friends! I GD love Fleet Week. And the only thing better about Fleet Week is meeting up with a bunch of other local blogging runners (and even some blogging foodies -- that's a whole new world to me!) to watch some of the Fleet Week festivities.
This past Saturday, the gorgeous and amazing Courtney planned a truly magnificent blogger meet-up, hosted at our own equally generous and incredible Sports Basement-Presidio.
Love love.
That's us -- the Bad Ass Bloggers! Or Bay Area Bloggers. Whatever.
Oh goodness, the food. Some of this was given to us on behalf of SB (THANKS!), and the rest were our contributions. We had wayyyy too much food & not enough room in our bellies, which is usually not a problem for a group of runners.
We scared the other people using the Community Area away -- more space for us to gab!

After stuffing ourselves to the brim with snacks, we headed out for the Fleet Week airshow, where we conveniently had front-row seats.
Gorgeous day for an air show, me thinks.
About a trillion boats were out on the water.
In comes the Marines plane.
(Great shot, Jana!)

Another groups of BAs... the Blue Angels.
They looked much cooler in person, I promise.

FLEET WEEK FUN! Back row, left to right: Courtney, Theresa, Suki, Audrey, Naomi, and Courtney. Front row, left to right: Cate, yours truly, and Jana. Not pictured: Annalies, Karin, and her adorable son.)
Overall, it was really fun getting to meet new people, hanging out with old friends, watching the airshow, and running run a few miles with Cate, who is back into running from her maternity leave! I'd call it a successful day all around. Thanks for organizing, Courtney!
WOOOOO BLUE ANGELS! I am so sad they are gone. Only 51.8 more weeks til they come back.
