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…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!
katie @KatieDid says
hilarious photo of you… hold the show!!! Have fun at the conference!
Kristin @ eat healthy. be happy. live well. says
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!
Brittany (A Healthy Slice of Life) says
I admire you ladies for getting up to run after a cocktail party the night before- impressive! 🙂 Have a great day at the conference!
Katie @ Peace Love and Oats says
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!
Sweet and Savvy says
Wow! I can’t believe attune sponsored such an AMAZING looking breakfast!:) love all the healthy options!
Hannah says
Have an awesome day! I wish I had a group of gals to convince me to run in the morning 🙁
Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga says
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!

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. 🙂
