Bloggers Loose in Boulder. And Bacon.

28 comments

The Fitness & Health Bloggers Conference is done and I’m back in California. I learned an immense amount of information and have a new found motivation for helping others. With speakers talking about everything from Search Engine Optimization, Social Media, book creation, motivation, branding, farting while running (what?!)… and no more bacon, there’s a lot of great things coming up on What Runs Lori. Aside from the bacon, I promise you, it’s all G rated.

Here’s a recap of what ran Lori.

 

There was hiking.

Samples, samples, and more samples.

There were fresh fruits and veggies.

A huge farmers market. Including tons of brands that originated in Boulder, Co. Two Mom’s in the Raw and Udi‘s. My favorites!

Coconut Milk Caramels.

And new friends.

Alisa, Katie, Me, Theodora, and Anne (picture from Anne)

…And a little more fun.

Heather, Sarah, Katie, Alisa, Me

And Bacon.

There just happened to be No More Bacon, too.

Guy With Cool Shirt, I sure enjoy the logo.

Thank you, Krazy Kris for the beverages. They were savored slowly(ish).

Thank you everyone for a wonderful learning experience.

When you’re set loose in a new place, what do you do?

In this new town, I took advantage of the sights, scenery, hiking, shopping, and blogging information I was given. Boulder, I’ll be back.

A couple of super brief snippet-style comments to make up one legit comment :)

Love me some Udi’s.
Loved me some Boulder.
Bacon IS rad. (The guy in the photo is Larry ScrawnyWOD.blogspot.com)
When set loose I actually try and stay away from the touristy stuff. I like to hang with the locals and take the whole “when in Rome” approach.

You were so ridiculously nice and super RAD (hello 80′s)

I was bummed we didn’t get to goodbye either. In hindsight I really should have just hung out until your bag was checked. Next time ;)

What a great weekend!

Hi Lori, it was good to briefly meet you this weekend. Had I known there was another Crossfitter at the conference I would’ve brought you along on my excursion to CF Roots. I got the “Bacon is Rad” shirt from Balanced Bites (www.balancedbites.com). She’s a paleo blogger and holistic health coach in San Francisco.
