But you've gotten to meet Rob Machado in some pretty cool settings. It was wild that he wasn't totally mobbed. Maybe because I caught him at the tail end of his autograph session? Maybe because it was NYC and people just didn't know any better :-) When I was out in SF for the contest in November, it was a complete mob scene. Granted, he was about to clinch his 11th World Title but still.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09791338684143423577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6633152386994997368.post-49122608902472318882012-02-11T23:37:19.052-05:002012-02-11T23:37:19.052-05:00I am so jealous Christine ;)
I never met Kelly in ...I am so jealous Christine ;)<br />I never met Kelly in person. I had the chance to see him surf but the crowd that swallowed him when he got out from his heat discouraged me to try to come close to him... This picture is surely a collector you want to make sure to keep: make tons of digital back ups + print outs in case ;)surfmama101https://www.blogger.com/profile/09706704904012168390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6633152386994997368.post-73719905031777029372012-02-10T21:52:48.893-05:002012-02-10T21:52:48.893-05:00Thanks so much for your comment.

Makes me happy that someone, other than me, finds my little blog interesting :-)<br /><br />I'm *so* jealous about your upcoming trip to Surf Simply! A friend of ours just returned and another is heading there tomorrow. I hope that we can make it back sometime in the next year too. Great that you'll be able to surf a bit before heading back though. We are going to spend a couple of weeks out in Montauk this summer which should be fun. My knee still isn't great. Hurts when I walk so I'm pretty much stuck with doing a whole lot of nothing right now except work of course. I just have to wait and see and hope for the best.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09791338684143423577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6633152386994997368.post-68945473180448244542012-02-10T21:06:00.412-05:002012-02-10T21:06:00.412-05:00Wow, that is amazing.

I hope your knee is doing better. I know it is not nearly as bad, but I got a bad case of illiotibial band syndrome and for a couple days I could barely walk. I had to stop running for 3 weeks, and as you said, I felt like I was this different person. I do have to say that these injuries tend to happen when you do something different in you training that what you are used to. I was fine after my marathon, but then we decided to run sprints with our kids and that's when I hurt my right thigh. I continued running anyway of course and I think compensating for my right thigh ended up injuring my left iliotibial band. I do have some exciting news - we signed up for another week at Surf Simply next February. Now the waiting begins ... I think before we go I will get to surf in Nag's Head this summer and then California next October. Please keep blogging, it is so interesting!T. J. Lushenhttp://www.facebook.comnoreply@blogger.com
