Key to A Good Night’s Sleep

Wake up at 4:15 for a 14 mile run 12.5 mile run through the streets of New York City just as the city is going to sleep and waking up at the same time, depending the neighborhood. IMG_3782 IMG_3783 Get ready for a customer meeting in 25 minutes flat, all while your body refuses to stop sweating thanks to the August humidity. Don’t forget to dash to grab a protein filled breakfast since protein oats just won’t do the job after a run like that.

IMG_3784Hop on the subway to finally see an event you helped plan come to fruition and say your lucky prayers for amazing brands, friends, resources, and bloggers!  IMG_3798 Spend an hour laughing and making faces with 15 other bloggers as we’re inspired to hold each move a little bit higher, a little bit longer, and use a little bit heavier weights since the co-founder, Tanya Becker, is teaching the class.

Use some extra calories laughing since she and the other ladies are absolutely hilarious and you can’t help but smile through the burn even though your thighs hate you for doing this after a long morning run.

Walk 1.5 miles through downtown to the West Village where chips, guacamole, cheese, and margaritas are waiting for us at Agave.

Spend four hours hanging out with amazing new and old friends alike talking about everything from vibrators (yes they are being given out at #Blogher12) to relationships and things we’ve each experienced during our years of blogging. fosim.jpg

Walk a very long mile home at midnight sticky from the evening’s sweat and exhausted from the day.

Crawl into bed, forgetting to brush your teeth or even remove your makeup, wishing that you could sleep more than just seven hours.

    Wow, what a whirlwind of a day! I’m extremely impressed and inspired that you were able to have such a long run in the morning and then continue to do very physical things throughout the rest of the day. It looks like BlogHer was an amazing experience.

      Thanks Lisa! It was an exhausting day but I tend to get inspired and motivated from those early morning workouts!
