If we were having coffee, I would have to tell you how much fun I had a Fitbloggin’! My favorite workout was with Cathe Friedrich, but yoga on the roof came in a close second. All the food was good, but the off-site lunch at Euclid Hall sponsored by the California Avocado Commission was amazing! They haven’t announced the details for next year, but I’m already looking forward to going again.
Me with Cathe before her workout!
If we were having coffee, I would ask if you use Snap Chat or Periscope? Those are the two “new” social media channels we were talking about at Fitbloggin’. We decided that Snap Chat was for “kids” even if brands are trying to break into it, but Periscope may be the next hot thing. If you venture onto Periscope you can find me through my Twitter account as Coco/@Got2Run4Me.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that downtown Denver is my kind of town–there really was a Starbucks on every corner, including one that opened at 5:00 am on the weekend.

If we were having coffee, I’d ask you what you are doing to celebrate the 4th. We have friends visiting, so we probably will brave the crowds and head into D.C. for the fireworks.
If we were having coffee, I’d urge you to check out my healthy Declaration of Independence and make your own–what can you set yourself free from today?

Happy 4th of July! I’m still salivating over that lunch at Euclid Hall. So amazing.
I am so looking forward to FitBloggin one of these years. How fun. I have just recently heard of Periscope and am stressing about having to learn more techy social stuff LOL
Happy 4th my friend 🙂
It’s video, so it’s really not my thing …. but we’ll see.
I love Denver, but I don’t drink coffee.
The one yr I lived in MD I went to the mall to see the fireworks. Now we have dogs so we’re always hanging at home.
Doing a 4 mile race today! Enjoy your company & holiday.
Our dog isn’t afraid of fireworks, or thunder. Have fun at your race!
Happy 4th! and enjoy your company today! The blogging conference looks like ton of fun, I hope to make it one day! I know my daughter uses snap chat but I haven’t heard of periscope? That might push me to social media overload! LOL!
Yes, too much to keep up with – but it’s fun to check out something new.
Haha I chatted about snap chat and periscope – glad to hear you all felt the same way!
Happy 4th! I have to admit I have no idea what periscope is – so I guess I better learn 🙂 Glad you had a good time at FitBloggin!
Hurry! Before you’re too far behind to catch up. 😉
I wrote my declaration of independence this time last year and it is one of my favorite posts to re-read when I lose sight of how far I’ve come. 🙂 I assumed Periscope must have been talked about Fitbloggin’ because I’ve seen a lot more people mention it over the last week. It sounds like I may need to put Fitbloggin’ on my list somehow! Happy Independence Day!
Maybe we should do a declaration of independence link up next year!
We’re having my daughter’s birthday bbq today so instead of driving to watch fireworks we’re staying home and having our own little display.
That sounds nice. All the fun without the crowds! Happy birthday to your daughter!
I had an aunt who worked in DC when I was young. So we visited a couple of times on July 4th and I have seen the DC fireworks. Amazing. A Starbucks on every corner is my kind of town!
So glad you had a blast in Denver. My advice for coming into DC is to pick a location that is not that the mall – but I’m sure you know that! Have fun!
The mall’s not bad if you take Metro — and no the back entrances to the Metro stops! 😉
Looked like you had a blast at fitbloggin! Big smiles all around. I’ve never even heard of periscope. My kids do use snapchat and it seems kind of silly to me but what do I know? Nice chatting over coffee!
Fitbloggin- ooh that sounds fun! yoga on the roof-neat!
Periscope-i haven’t even heard of that-ha!
I am in NY celebrating my sister’s bday and heading back to MD for my husband’s family reunion.
Happy 4th-enjoy!
I’m on Snapchat but not Periscope. Does that make me a kid at heard? hehe – so wish I could have been at Fitbloggin!
Yes! A kid at heart for sure! It would be great to meet you — maybe next year?
Happy 4th of July! My friends tried to get me to download Snapchat and I had it for all of 2 days before getting rid of it. (I just can’t get into it. ._.)
I’ve always wanted to visit Denver! :D!
I worked in downtown Denver in the mid-eighties, but since I don’t like coffee I couldn’t tell you if there were any Starbucks around. Was the first Starbucks even open yet back then?
Even though I’d written my post earlier this week, I completely forgot to link up this morning. Oh well – better late, than never.
Hope you have a happy Independence Day!
No worries, we’re here for coffee — or tea — all weekend!
Guess I’ll check out Periscope…
Happy 4th of July! Glad to hear that Snap Chat doesn’t seem to be trending as an outlet for businesses. I have a hard enough time keeping up with all the platforms that have been around for a while, not sure how many more I can add 🙂
Yeah, I asked my son if he could see brands using Snap Chat for marketing and he was not impressed! I could see it done subtlety–like sports brands showing clips of athletes.
Ah, I wish I could have been able to go to Fitbloggin! I did see the photo of yoga on the roof – looked so fun! I keep hearing about Periscope…seems to be the next big thing. I’ll have to see if it’s something I’m not too scared/overwhelmed to jump into…I hate myself on video, lol!
Fitbloggin sounds like so much fun. We haven’t had any conference like that come to France yet. Hope you had a wonderful weekend. Thanks for the link up.
It’s always great to see everyone!
Fitbloggin sounds like so much fun. I have to get there one year! I am not a video person – so Periscope scares me. Also having one more thing to check. Ack. I do love Instagram!
Id say I unplugged some this weekend and now?
wonder if Ill ever replug 🙂
