8 miles @ 9:22 average.
Dirt the day after a workout is my favorite way to recover. It slows me down, there is a whole lot less impact, and mixing up my scenery is always helpful.
The trails just make it so much easier to avoid overuse injuries because each step is different than the last with the uneven terrain.
We were outside for a lot of the day.
Knox had rugby practice…
And Skye’s dreams came true when we saw a fresh fruit stand right by the park.
A few Friday Favorites to talk about:
*I got an email about the new blues at Aritzia and got very excited. I bought the t-shirt…in this color and this color. (Jeans I am trying on with it)
*I had to get the hoodie, too. I LOVE THIS COLOR.
*Every summer, I start out by wearing unsupportive sandals because I forget how much support I actually need, and every summer, I go back to my beloved Birks. This year, I’m starting with the Birks and skipping the learning curve that I normally go through. These platform ones are officially my favorite pair that I’ve ever had.
*The Dermal Micro Point (and it is 40% off!) is my new favorite facial product… I love getting microneedling done, and this bottle delivers the same benefits (tingling included!). I’ve been using a tiny bit (I want this bottle to last forever, and a little goes a long way) every three days, and my face already feels firmer. Also, the Face and Neck Liftin Duo (comes with gua sha tool and bag) is ultrahydrating and I LOVE how it makes my neck and skin feel.
Time for the best sales going on this weekend!
*It’s the JCREW Summer Sale–> Shop 40% off your purchase from 5/15 – 5/26, plus 50% off dresses 5/15-5/18. I ordered this gorgeous dress and this button-up.
