See You Online

Annnnddd the Summit comes to a close. A long time ago, the planning committee members envisioned this event as a way to put faces to URLs. And I’d say that was absolutely the best part of the weekend! I enjoyed each and every conversion – quick or long – I had with everyone and hope to meet you ALL sometime, someday!

I was up at 7:39 this morning (39 minutes late!) to head out on a final fun run with some of my new friends. We had 4 groups:

-Walkers

-5Kers

-10Kers

and

-16 milers!!

I joined the 10K group for 6 miles along the lakefront path.

I’ve got no photos – only memories!! It was hot and long, but a good run nonetheless due to the great company.

After a SPEEDY red-faced shower, I made my way to the Thomas Farewell Breakfast

Complete with Bagel Thins and a make-your-own cream cheese station with everything from smoked salmon and jalapenos to pineapple and cinnamon.

IMG_0251 (640x427) IMG_0252 (640x427)

I made a savory and sweet mix:

Smoked salmon with capers and mint

IMG_0259 (640x427)

And blueberries with honey, walnuts and pineapple!

IMG_0258 (640x427)

I smothered a bagel thin with a little of each spread. I really do like the Thin brands. Basically it puts bread in second place to delicious food. Sometimes bread can overwhelm. I like bread best by itself!

IMG_0262 (640x427)

+ lots of fruit and brown water coffee

IMG_0263 (640x427)

IMG_0260 (640x427)

Getting to the airport was a bit of a fail. I had to try THREE entrances to my El station to find one that took credit cards – and the machine was BROKEN! I had to put a $10 bill in the machine and lose $7.75. GUFFFF. I gave the ticket to a man at the end of my ride and feel better about it now, but the whole reason I took the El was to only have to pay $2.25!

The ride was uneventful.

The airport was fine.

Just spotted "GOAT CHEESE" on a menu board and wolfed down this black bean, rice, roasted veggie and goat cheese salad for lunch.

IMG_0267 (640x427)

Had to pick off the onions!

It was pretty good – just drippy in my lap and not the best eating experience I’ve had.

IMG_0268 (640x427)

I had a Yum Universe truffle for dessert!

IMG_0269 (640x427)

Now that was good!

IMG_0270 (640x427)

We’re boarding for Raleigh! I’m late!!

    I had a regular bagel the other day and thought that it did overwhelm the toppings I had put on. I haven’t been able to find Arnold Thins in the Seattle area though:(

    I’m from Chicago and that’s one reason I hate taking the EL, it takes all your money before you even have a chance to figure out how to use the machine! ugh! But other than that I’m glad you enjoyed your trip to Chicago!

    Kath…at first I thought those truffles were resting on your finger tips and I thought “Now THAT’S a tiny truffle!!” But on closer inspection, it’s on your leg. Much better! LOL

    Airport food is always tricky. You just have to do the best you can, and it looked pretty good to me!
    I’m sure it’s such a bummer to see HLS come to a close. It looked like so much fun!

    Your dinner salad sort of looks like mine! And I’m sorry to hear about your Pop 🙁 You’ll be in my thoughts.
    I hope you get some ‘down time’ before you head off again on Tuesday. Take some time and be with family and unwind a bit, Kath!
    It’ll be good for you to. Hope you had a safe flight back.

    Even though I didn’t attend….I had to put something up about HLS and how blogging has changed me for the better. 🙂

    It’s my post today: http://secondchancehappiness.blogspot.com/2010/08/blogging-for-better.html.

    So, thank you for all that you do!
