Thanks so much for all the congratulations for my Lululemon Ambassador Proposal! I feel so loved after each of your comments that I read! I can’t wait to share the fun stuff that comes along with this amazing experience!
I am almost done with my second week of training – 4 full months to go until Chicago! Thank goodness! Even though my workouts have been relatively short, they have been kicking my butt. I have to remind myself that when I started training for my last marathon, it was not the middle of June and 85 degrees out! I am running slower, and it is harder to breathe – it is definitely an adjustment I am making.
I’m learning to cross train more effectively, and have been taking full advantage of the pool being open (and open late!). The swim group that I have been training with kicks my butt! I wouldn’t have it any other way! We had an amazing workout this morning – just another to get my arms burning and ready for another Friday. 7 of us from the team showed up today, and the pool was packed. We ended up all having to share a lane. I wasn’t sure how it was going to work, but we ended up doing sets of 50′s and 100′s, so it worked out perfectly. We lined up in order of speed, and would all start a few seconds behind the person in front of us, so we were staggered quite well. Waking up at 5:30 am isn’t the most fun, but being completely done with my workout by 7:30 am is awesome!
There are a lot of amazing things happening in my life, and I feel like everything is really starting to come together for me! One opportunity that I have been having my eye on ever since I started the blog is the ability to attend a healthy living conference. There are so many to choose from, and I really set a goal to attend one in the next 12 months. Lucky for me, looks like my goal is going to be reached a little sooner than I thought!
This August, I am heading to Boston for the Healthy Living Summit!
I am sooo excited to be attending my first conference (outside of internet marketing), and that it just so happens to be the Healthy Living Summit! I absolutely love Boston, and an even better reason to go – my friend Meghann is planning the event! She has been putting so much work into it, and I can not wait to be able to see the finished product. I have some pretty high expectations, and I know they will be blown out of the water! Can’t wait for August!
Have you ever been to a healthy living conference!? What did you think? Are you headed to Healthy Living Summit this year?






Yay! I was at HLS last year and am speaking this year. Can’t wait to meet you!
Ya I saw that you are speaking!!! So awesome!
LOVE that you have so much GOOD happening! Congrats on being a Lulu ambassador!
Thanks Whitney! I hope to meet up with u when I come up to Boston!
I’m going to the Healthy Living Summit, too! So excited to meet you. I went to FitBlogNYC in May which was a ton of fun, but only one day. This full-fledged conference will be so great, and meeting more bloggers from all over the country !
Yes!! It will be amazing to meet you! Can’t wait to meet everyone in person!!
That’s great Mary! I am not 100% sure about HLS this year, but throwing the idea around. Definitely going to the CFBlogCon since it is so close to home. I really want to go to HLS, one of the BlogHer, or FitBloggin conferences!
I am thinking about going to that too!
Meghann told us this evening that you were going to the HLS! That will be awesome! ANd great swim today- I could feel you tapping my feet!
