Well, it’s been weeks since Fitbloggin’ 2013 and I have had not a minute to sit down and do my recap. But then I realize that (and I’m not just being lazy, I swear!) that it really was an experience beyond (many) words. I loved it. I had a blast. I felt like I had the perfect combination of participate/hibernate, social/not, active/inactive. It’s important to pace oneself at these events and so often I burn out after the first day. I felt really, really happy with how this FB went. I loved being in Portland, loved being with people I love (and meeting people I never have) and missed being with those who couldn’t make it this year.
Here’s my photo album.

I miss your face! Hugs, and thanks for reminding me of the slurp. Now if only I could remember the Ramen of Life we came up with…. something like “if you hold it too tightly, it will slip through your fingers.”
Somehow I managed to get a pic with you and not actually meet you. No joke.
Love all these pictures. I can’t be the only one that gets all giddy reading everyone’s recap & seeing all the photos. 🙂
Seeing your happy face is one of my FitBloggin highlights EVERY year. I’m sad that I didn’t get to spend any time with you this year but at least I got my hug!
Fantastic photo recap. You really captured all of the wonderful things about Fitbloggin and Portland. I want to personally thank you for the wonderful ice-breakers. They made everything much more comfortable for an introvert like me.
