FHBC12 - My Itinerary!

Photo from here.

I am currently on my way to Denver, Colorado for the 2012 Fitness and Health Bloggers Conference!  I am beyond excited if you couldn't already tell by my posts and tweets for the last few months.  This is my first conference and my first huge trip alone, so I've done everything I could to make it amazing!  First, Carissa over at Fit2Flex is going to be my roommate.  I've never met her IRL (in real life), but I enjoy reading her blog so I can't wait to get to know her over the weekend.  Next, I signed up for every single special event possible to make sure I am getting the most out of my time in Colorado and at the conference.  Check out my itinerary below:
