Despite only 3 hours of sleep I got up bright and early for a 13.something miler with Tina and Bonnie. 
It was kinda brutal, but we did it! It really helped that Tina was running, she’s a fun running buddy.
Happy to cross another state off my “run in every state” list!
We ran together in Baltimore in May.
and for a few miles of her marathon in January!
Tina and I made a detour to Starbucks before going up to our rooms. Mine was done before I even got there!
Amen!
I was super hungry and rushed down stairs after my shower (sopping wet) to grab food before breakfast was over.
I have to confess that I snuck back up to my room to eat and take a short nap. I really really needed it!
Finally, I felt coherent enough to join the rest of the world. I saw my favorite Janetha right away.
Then, I spotted Tina signing her book – Carrots N’ Cake. I read her book when it first came out and loved it! Even though I am her friend and read her blog I enjoyed looking into her life in the book too. It was kinda like going through her underwear drawer when she’s not home. 
Unfortunately, I forgot my book. #Fail
So, I asked her to sign my boob!
Then, I perused the expo area and caught up with old and new friends.
I’m currently blogging from one of the sessions – Utilizing Social Media to Network and Make Friends. That would be Ashley, Cynthia and Theodora rocking it out.
I’m up after lunch. So so nervous!!! Wish me luck

I’ve met Tina once and she seems like an awesome person.
Good luck on your presentation!

Running that long on 3 hours of sleep? You rock girl!
Have a great time and good luck on your presentation. I’m sure you’ll do great!
Good luck!!! It’s so funny to see all of my favorite bloggers at one conference… reading all of your updates has been such fun
So you’re the one who had the privilege of running with Bonnie!! She had tweeted about it this morning!
I’ve been a lurker for a while now, Monica. I think we’ll become friends now
Hi Lindsey, thanks for stopping by
Bahaha boob sinage. LOVE
**Luck!** Ps. I love that picture of you and Tina! It’s priceless!
This post made me LOL. I hope your presentation was AMAZING! I actually wish I was there to hear yours – I’ve been trying to figure out how to blog a bit more about things like vacation planning, or when my OH is out of town, without exposing myself too much! (SO. Many. Comments.. I’m giggling at my own comment, haha)
You guys rock and are super inspiring
I saw Tina’s most recent post and she posted about the boob signing. Awesome haha It makes me smile to see you guys all together having such a great time! I hope I will be able to attend next year
Hey! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my good old room mate! He always kept chatting about this. I will forward this post to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thank you for sharing!
Fun times! I can’t wait to hear how the presentation went!
I commented on Tina’s post but y’alls picture is too funny!
I don’t know how I missed this recap and I think you caught the best picture of our session. Mind is if I steal, I mean borrow with credit, your picture?
