Hello, I started my day with a 6 mile run with Tina and Theodora. 
Then, I rushed back to my hotel room to shower and get ready for my Fitbloggin presentation Blogging 101. Click here for my presentation. It’s not amazing, but beats a handful of post-its, which was my original idea.
Roni and I didn’t think too many people were going to attend this session because I am boring so I wasn’t nervous at all! Which is good, we’re all just here to have fun, right?!
Once I knew the projector was set up I rushed to stuff my face with oatmeal. I love oatmeal made in big batches like this, it’s just so creamy!
I sent Ben back to the room with this plate for after my presentation. I like to eat Before and After all my daily activities. Yes – eat, take a shower, eat again – this is my life.
I somehow managed to con 4 people, 1 waitress and some guy off the street to attend my presentation. It was a better turn out than I was expecting. At least I wasn’t boo-ed off the stage…
But, the intimate setting made for easy conversation with new friends, like Heather from mile 26.2 and more
And Erin from Enjoying The Chaos, who has gorgeous hair 
After my Blogging 101 session I was headed to another session so I could learn something (though, I think I need a lot more help than one or two sessions), but got distracted by conversation.
And friends like Jen from Prior Fat Girl and Elisabeth from Jogger’s Life! Love these girls 
The plan for the rest of the day involves sightseeing and getting crabs.

I’m headed out of Fitbloggin a bit early, so if we haven’t met yet please track me down and trip me in the halls come say hi!

Great meeting you this weekend! You’re so funny
That’s awesome that you made the best out of your situation
Sounds like fun! Yay for double breakfasts!
Glad your presentation went well
I am totally a before/after eater too. Or maybe just a plain eater in general, lol.
Thanks for posting the presentation. I really would love to hear your answers to the common questions as a new blogger. I really wish I could have been there. I am really trying to spiffy up my page and I have NO idea how to do it, lol
Looks like such a fun event! Wish I could have been there.
Maybe next year!
I’m sure your presentation was great. I like the intimate settings too because it almost feels like a one on one.
Aw, glad the preso went well, girl! I’m sure the ones who did attend got lots out of it
so GREAT meeting you today! and thanks about the hair..good hair day are few and far between:) Have a great day in bmore and enjoy your crabs:)
So glad you girls ran along the water, that’s my long run route too! Did you run through the harbor to Federal Hill or the other way to Canton? Just curious because I live in Canton. Glad your presentation went well!
Glad your presentation went off well!!
This has nothing to do with your post (but it looks like you’re having fun at FB!) but after seeing you post copious photos of iced coffee on the blog, the craving finally hit me like a ton a bricks. I think I’ve had about 3 venti’s worth of the stuff, and probably won’t be able to sleep tonight which is okay because it’s so delicious. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the inspiration
Just read through your presentation. It looks great! Wish I could have attended..
Sitting here with my iced coffee (thanks for the new idea, Monica) and enjoying your event vicariously. Enjoyed your slides too.
Mmmmm! Crab cakes.
Cutest dress ever! And I like the new header btw I haven’t seen it yet
i bet that waitress went home & started a blog after hearing your amazing presentation!
ps – awesome dress!
So glad we got the chance to meet!
Ahhhhh you’re running exactly where I get to run every week! It’s beautiful isn’t it?
You’re so brave to do public speaking! Hey I was wondering how you find out about these types of conferences? Do you have to be invited to attend?
I would love to hear your answers to the most common questions. Sounds like a great presentation! Love your sense of humor!
such a great post! I still feel kinda clueless on how publishing your blog works…I guess I need to stay after school for some tutoring!
Glad you had fun though!
ha, i am a before and after eater, too.
Was great meeting you! Loved that your session was more a chill one-on-one session than a serious panel.
And I totally got crabs in Baltimore.
Just found your blog through the fitbloggin site, and love it! I would of totally attended your session being a newish blogger!!
Hi Deanna
I could have used you in that room – maybe next time!
AH! I forgot about this picture! =) We are kind of adorable.
Such a fun weekend–I just wish we had more time to chat. So many people to catch up with/meet!
