<br />
I’ve got a crush on Buzz Lightyear. Not really, but I fell in love with <a href="http://disney.go.com/disneyonice/">Disney On Ice’s Toy Story 3</a> when I attended the show at Phillips Arena in Atlanta on Wednesday. It’s not like someone had to twist my arm to get me to go since <a href="http://askwifey.blogspot.com/2010/03/disneys-princess-half-marathon-recap.html">I’m a princess and all,</a> <em>ahem</em>, but I didn’t realize how much fun I would have. When I was invited to attend I thought the kids would love it, and they did, but secretly they were my cover so I could go and get my inner child on – guilt free. <br />
<br />
The night started with a private meet & greet where several Atlanta-area bloggers and their families enjoyed food, arts & crafts and of course some personal time with Buzz and Woody. <br />

In addition to tapering, my foot is still sore so I’m resting a little more than I’d like to. <br />
<br />
I want to run, <strike>dammit,</strike> but I know I need to slow down so I’ve been in search of a little motivation. Fortunately, in the blogosphere motivation is easy to find. One of my favorite bloggers, <a href="http://www.bobbimccormick.com/?p=13302">Bobbi from NHerShoes</a> ran the Chicago Marathon last Sunday on 10-10-10. In her recap post she takes you through race day so perfectly that if I wasn’t a runner I would be now. <br />
<br />
Need a little motivation to get moving? Check out <a href="http://www.bobbimccormick.com/?p=13302">Bobbi’s post here</a>. <br />

Make sure to do something <em>today</em> to take care of <em>you</em>.<br />

<br />
The conference brought together approximately 200 women to celebrate the diversity of all ethnicities in social media. And celebrate we did. We also networked, learned, laughed, bonded and created memories that we’ll hang onto until Blogalicious 2011. I had the privilege of speaking on The Chronicles of Fit Divas panel and enjoyed the awesome dialogue and real talk we had with the audience. Thanks to everyone who came out. <br />
<br />
<strong>The Beach</strong><br />
So, I was staying on South Beach and there was no way I wasn’t going for a run while I was there. <br />

There’s a path that goes horizontal to the beach that I started to run along, but my foot quickly began hurting – <strike>that damn</strike> because of my <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantar_fasciitis">plantar fasciitis</a> – so I decided to slow down and just walk. <br />

Yes, the swag at the conference was in full effect. There were lots of great goodies and everyone seemed to handle it in very good taste, but one swagadocious item really stood out. <br />

This gorgeous Fossil watch was given to all the attendees from the wonderful folks at <a href="http://feedingdreams.com/">Feeding Your Dreams</a> at Sunday’s breakfast. I haven’t worn a watch in years, but um, now I will be rockin’ this one. <br />
<br />
<strong>The Booze</strong><br />
That sounds so harsh. It wasn’t booze. It was wine, and lots of it. <br />

My BlogRollin’ partner, <a href="http://www.christiecrowder.com/">Christie</a>, and I had the pleasure of working with <a href="http://www.winesisterhood.com/">The Wine Sisterhood</a> at Blogalicious where they debuted the newest wine in their <a href="http://www.middlesisterwines.com/">Middle Sister</a> line, Sweet & Sassy. Throughout Saturday we hosted the Sassy Suite were conference attendees could come and meet the newest sister, sip a little wine and enjoy some yummy snacks. Needless to say the Sassy Suite was a huge success – good people, good conversation and good wine. We even gave away an iPad, <em>gasp!</em> <a href="http://thattechchick.com/">Jessica</a> hasn't put it down since she took it out the box. <br />

I’m trying hard to get back into the swing of things today. My mind and body think they’re still in South Beach, but my family and my inbox disagree. <br />

I’m running a <a href="http://askwifey.blogspot.com/2010/04/put-your-money-where-your-mouth-is.html">marathon </a>in less than a month, <em>Gasp!,</em> so when the lovely folks at <a href="http://www.spaweek.com/">Spa Week</a> offered me the opportunity to indulge in a full body massage and energy healing I almost ran out the door - literally! Logging all these miles has been hard on my body and it definitely needs a little TLC. <br />
<br />
Last week I visited <a href="http://www.stevehightower.com/">The Steve Hightower Artists’ Salon</a> in Buckhead, a luxury salon offering hair services; skin and body treatments; manicures and pedicures; laser hair therapy; extensions and more. I opted for a half-half deal - a 30 minute full body massage and a 30 minute energy healing. <br />
<br />
David, my specialist, was phenomenal. I think he had magic in his hands. Seriously. He started with the massage and worked every kink out of my muscles. He paid extra attention to my feet, legs and hips - <em>ahem </em>- and refreshed them like I haven’t walked a mile. <br />
<br />
Afterwards he started the energy healing - something I’ve never had before. If I wasn’t paying attention I might have mistaken it for a soft massage. It was subtle and equally relaxing. David told me he works with Chinese medicine, combining four different methodologies. He also likened it to acupuncture without the needles. <br />
<br />
An hour later, I was sipping on a cool glass of water wishing I had a driver to take me home - yes, I was that relaxed! Fab-u-lous!<br />
<br />
If you live in Atlanta <a href="http://www.spaweek.com/">Spa Week</a> is taking place October 11-17. Not in the ATL? Spa Week is happening in several cities nationwide, you can learn more about it <a href="http://www.spaweek.com/">here</a>. <br />
<br />
Speaking of relaxing, I’m down in Miami this weekend at the Ritz-Carlton in Southbeach for <a href="http://blogaliciousweekend.com/">The Blogalicious Weekend Conference</a>. I’m speaking on The Chronicles of Fit Divas panel tomorrow with my BlogRollin’ partner, <a href="http://www.christiecrowder.com/">Christie</a>, and the fabulous <a href="http://barbaraporatras.com/btg/intro.html">Barbara Gomez.</a> <br />
<br />
Yes, I’ve got my running shoes with me even though my foot’s still a little sore. A few miles on Southbeach just might be what the doctor ordered. <br />
