Ever run into someone you know on MFP?

This is the reason, above all else, why I'm hesitant to put profile pictures of myself.

Have you ever run into anyone who knew you in real life on MFP?

    I have on purpose. Why not meet the people in real life and have a real support group than just have it online?

    I meant the opposite way around actually, as in run into someone you know from work or school within MFP.

    I met someone here on MFP a few weeks ago who I found out lives in the same area I run in with a running group once a week. I asked her if she was interested in joining the group and now we meet regularly at training and sometimes at races.


    I haven't yet met anyone I work with or went to school with though. But that wouldn't really be a bad thing, unless of course it's someone you don't get along with at work or an ex from school.

    I know my cousin is on here somewhere. She posted something about it on fb which is where I heard about this site.

    The only place I post my face on the Internet is Facebook lol, and it's set to friends only. I have added people from work on here. :)
