In a few weeks, when the season is over and the boats put away for the winter, I will be going down to Raleigh, North Carolina, to spend some time with Mr. NBT. I'm interested in meeting some pals of my own when I'm there, and exploring the place. In particular, I'd like to find a workout buddy, to do some running and some lifting and some yoga, or perhaps to train for a beginner's teeny tiny triathalon. Can you help? Do you know cool places to go and see, or a person you think I'd click with? Please email me or leave suggestions in the comments.
On the drive down I'll probably be stopping for the night somewhere near Philly, and it would be neat to meet you if you live in that area, too.
I`m thrilled that you are coming through Philly! Can`t wait to hang out. :)

The runnersworld.com forums (there's a really great women's forum) is a good place to find someone to work out or run with.

I live near Philadelphia too so maybe it'll work out for us to all get together. Keep me posted!

Do a websearch for "Carolina Godiva", a great local running group in the Triangle area. They have nice, long weekend runs at Umstead State Park between Raleigh/Durham.

There used to be the most wonderful used and rare book store on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill, NC. I can't remember the name of it, but that probably has changed over the years if it is still there. Quite worth the time, when in Raleigh (not too far a drive).
