I had NO intention of getting up early to run this morning. Especially before the sunrise.
But when my roommate was up at 4:45 (!) to head out for a 14 miler, I was awake. And excited for the day.
And so after checking Twitter and realizing there was a group going at 6am, I got out of bed and put on my running shoes. There were tons of girls ready to run when I came down! Wheee!
Of course I’m glad I went – we had a really nice time! Got a little turned around, but we eventually ran on the greenway and had a nice group to chat with.
Showering felt gooooood!!!
Chatting it up with a table of ladies over breakfast sponsored by Attune this morning
There was fruit, Attune cereals, eggs, OJ, and yogurts to play with
I munched on this flavor – really liked it!!
I put together a bowl of Oikos Blueberry with fruit + Uncle Sam
Pus some fruit, OJ and Awake Tea
Went back for seconds because the bowls were small! Little milk that time.
Time to chat, learn, and play!

4:45?! dang. That is mighty early. Glad your having a blast though. I am loving all the pics
Looks delicious! Hope you ladies have a blast today, can’t wait to read all about it!
You HLS ladies are making me feel like a slug! I’m just drinking my coffee!
Glad you’re off to such a fun start : )
Then there are some of us who didn’t wake up until almost 9! Hah!
4:45…girl, you have serious motivation!
And thank you for that, because I’m now slipping on my sneakers and heading out for a (hopefully) just as glorious run.
HAVE FUN!
hilarious photo of you… hold the show!!! Have fun at the conference!
What a nice breakfast for a conference! Usually it’s just lots of pastries. The run sounds fun!! I’d get up at 6am to run too if there was such a great group of ladies going with me!
I admire you ladies for getting up to run after a cocktail party the night before- impressive!
Have a great day at the conference!
a 14 miler on a get-away weekend!?!? Haha guess that’s why I’m just now training for a 10K, perhaps one day I’ll be doing things like that! (big goal is a half marathon!). And is Uncle Sam’s a granola? I’ve never heard of it!
Wow! I can’t believe attune sponsored such an AMAZING looking breakfast!:) love all the healthy options!
Have an awesome day! I wish I had a group of gals to convince me to run in the morning
Glad you ladies all got a run in. Impressive. Because no doubt everyone was up late chatting…and maybe there was wine drinking?
And so 6am yeah, that’s early.
Love the 1st pic of you hamming it up…too cute!
Unexpected workouts are the best- nice going!
Looks like a great time! Have fun in Philly
You always feel better after a good run! Love having company to talk with – makes the time go by so much quicker. Looking forward to reading about the day, Kath!
I can only imagine what all the pHilly residents are thinking when they see massive groups of healthy living gals running along the streets! Enjoy your day – can’t wait to continue to live the summit through you!
4:45 am for a 14 miler!?!? Tina is crazy! Haha!
Glad you got a run in – it always feels so nice to start the day off that way
Thanks for keeping us readers updated even when you’re a busy bee all weekend! Great job on getting a good run in!
Ha that is by far the best picture ever – love it and it looks like you’re having so much fun!!
Early to bed and early to rise, makes a woman healthy, wealthy and wise

Running buddies are the best!
WOW! You all really got after it!
I’m pretty sure I would have went back to bed….. set the alarm for 5:50 and see if I made it down to run…
When will we see you doing the “Rocky” on the Art Museum steps? You’re in my neck if the woods, I’m 35 minutes away on the Jersey side. Philly is an awesome city, enjoy it!
That’s so great you got a run in! Very impressive
Holy cow, a 14-mile run at dawn – impressive! And impressive that you ran too, I enjoy my runs more with new company and scenery. Just not always that early.
tea and OJ? are they compatible in your stomach?
Haha, you definitely looked excited to be going out to run!
didja guys run to the rocky steps?!?
Grats on getting the run in.
I keep seeing Uncle Sam’s cereal popping up – I am going to have to try it one of these days.
That looks so fun!!! I am so jealous of your opportunity to meet (and go running with) other bloggers!
14 miles is alot wow.
Yum looks like there’s some good eats at HLS!
Hope your early start doesn’t leave you pooped for the rest of the day
WHOA that is early! I like the breakfast idea–tons of fresh fruit is SO yumm in the a.m.:)
I wish I could’ve made this years HLS, you look like you’re having so much fun!
It’s such a great idea to run with a group in a new city! You get to explore with great company. Looks awesome!!
Don’t you live it when other people are such good motivators!
4:45 ?! Way to go girls. I was up at 5:30 a.m. for a flight to DC and was not happy about that, to say the least
