5 Things - Christy of Planes, Trains, and Running Shoes.

One of the things I love the most about blogging is that it allows me to connect with like-minded people  who, without blogging, I probably never would have crossed paths with. And I love it even more when those friendships go from blog land to real life and I'm able to meet some of these bloggers. Such is the case with Christy who blogs over at Planes, Trains, and Running Shoes. We both read each other's blog and left comments but it wasn't until I was living in India until we met in-person! That's right. She was traveling and heading through India and dropped me a line and I, in turn, offered her my spare bed in Delhi. And so it was that she, living in NYC at the time, and I originally from Toronto, met on the other side of the planet and hung out for a few days. Christy has an intense love for travel (a woman of my own heart) and is a dedicated runner (oh how I wish I were!) -- I witnessed her dedication first hand when, in the extreme Delhi heat she would lace up and go out for a run. She recently landed a great job and relocated to D.C. with her boyfriend - be sure to check out her blog to see what she's up to!
