There’s no feeling quite like trail running, but winter trail running is a whole other beast. We’re not just talking about the physical effort needed. There’s far more to enjoy when it comes to winter running, from empty trails to absolute quiet to the sun reflecting off fresh snow to hearing your feet crunch with every step.
Did a foraging trip
Lots of noms
If you read our recent post about going through old drafts, you’d know that most of our ideas didn’t make the cut. A lot of those restaurants aren’t open right now. While many of the ideas are outdated and relevant, some are more welcome now. With restrictions in place across the country, isolated outdoor activity has become more popular than ever. People who never cared for hiking are discovering the beauty of the great outdoors. While we lived in Los Angeles, we were fortunate to discover one of its greatest escapes: Idyllwild.
Happy Tuesday, or Wednesday depending on where you live in this big beautiful world.
If you’re currently experiencing summer, any anywhere near where we live in New Orleans, you’re probably being overrun by mosquitoes, Japanese beetles, and termites. It isn’t fun to spend time outside at night, even with all the fans and Citronella candles you can find in your barren-shelved grocery stores. Add the totally miserable stress of living during a very challenging time and being under quarantine doesn’t help one bit, as you earn to escape.
Running can change your life. Running and walking are, in terms of technique, similar. The difference is that in walking, at one point both feet are on the ground, and in running there is a phase where both feet are in the air at some point. Running is an extension of walking. This guide for beginners in running will show you how to start and how to make running a daily habit.
You might’ve noticed a little bit of an absence in the past week. That’s because we took a trip down to New Orleans (and around the South).
We started our journey in New Orleans
We had a friend in town!
We’ve been settling into the new home before we go on vacation…yes, that is a homemade smoothie bowl!
