That Girl Runs

Yesterday, Meg posted her summer love list. Since summer is by far my most favorite time of year I got all excited about this project. Even more so than I usually do when it comes to listing favorites (and that says a lot)!!!

So without keeping you much longer (I know you are as excited as I am!!!) following is the hot stuff I love about summer:

~ beachy hair

~ coconut anything

~ crickets chirping at night

~ oversized sunglasses

~ street cafes

~ yellow sundresses

~ endless evenings

~ swimming with Nelson

~ spontaneous BBQs with friends and neighbors

~ ice cold Pepsi One

~ laundry drying on the clothes line in the sun

~ evenings that do not require sweaters and/or jackets

~ the smell of sunscreen

~ waking up to a sun already shining

~ bare feet all day long

~ puffy clouds in a deep blue sky

~ Frappuccinos

~ natural highlights

~ sunkissed skin

~ seedless watermelon

~ gelato in Italy

~ no tanlines

~ summer fruit

~ riding my vespa without goosebumps

~ Venice 

~ living life outside all day

~ jumping into the pool

Today’s Running Tip: Jump into cold water!

The best thing you can do for yourself after a long run in hot conditions is to jump into cold water. If you are running near the ocean, take a dip in it. If you have a pool, jump into it. If you have neither fill a bathtub with cold water and sit in it.
