Healthy Living Summit 2012: Day 1

August 18, 2012 | fitness, running

;

Hi friends! Yesterday was a whirlwind of a day! I am so tired but having a blast! Ok, so let’s backtrack. My morning started off with a solo run along the river. I decided I probably wasn’t going to get up for the Saturday run, so I decided to take on a few miles on my own. Let me tell you, it was BLISS! Not only was it scenic, but oh my gosh low humidity and temps. I was in HEAVEN!

There was a nice path that went along the water with the road on the other side. There were plenty of other bikers and runners out and about.

There were some nice shady areas as well.

I would love to have a great place like this to run all the time. Love.

After my run I took a quick shower and then it was time for the whole foods mini mingle!

Roomies!

Me and Lynda

Our group walked about 20 minutes to Whole Foods and we grabbed lunch at the salad bar.

Well, I got a turkey sandwich.

Then, we had to walk back because it was registration time! Team healthy Living Blogs, GO!

Bathroom photo fun.

We got everything ready for registration with only a few minor glitches. I was in the swag bag room with Mary and we were in charge of punching holes in people’s name badges and giving them their bags.

That’s not even all the bags.

We had a great time, and I am wiped. I will save the cocktail party for the next post.

Don’t forget, my session on social media trends is at 3:30 EST and people will be live tweeting, using the hashtag #HLSmedia so be sure to join in the fun!

QOTD: What item would you love to see in a swag bag?

    Your run looks like it was amazing. It’s always so nice finding a great place to go on a run when you’re traveling. And it looks like everyone is having a fantastic time at HLS.

    I always like to get things I haven’t tried before in my swag bags. Food samples are always welcome, especially if I get hungry. 🙂

We originally got it as a solution for rainy or co We originally got it as a solution for rainy or cold days during the holidays, but it quickly became part of our weekly routine — especially for family game night or those super hot afternoons when going outside just isn’t an option.

What I love most? It gets us laughing, playing, and moving together. The games are active and designed with real child development principles in mind — which means I feel good about the screen time. And when she plays solo? I know she’s safe — no online strangers, just fun, movement, and confidence-building play.

Whether we’re all competing or she’s playing on her own, @nexplayground has become one of our favorite ways to stay active and connected as a family.
