It's been super warm here recently, so we busted out the paddle boards for more practice with La Loca. . She hopped right on and then shortly after, decided it was too scary and jumped of and swam straight to shore. . But then we coaxed her back and she hopped back on. She doesn't settle (which she doesn't do anyway, so no surprise there), but I was glad to see her jump on the board instead of swim away! —@halagearsup #halagear #adventuredesigned
What do you pack in your picnic basket (or backpack like we do)? . Here's what we brought: 🍺🍺🥖🍪🍴🥄 and hummus. Why is there not hummus emoji?Tell me in emoji!
What does a beach vacation mean to you?For us, it means rugged and rocky, isolated and empty, and my drink come with a bottle cap and not an umbrella. And if the dolphins want to show up like they did on this visit, even better.
So I taught La Loca this "trick" early on that I call "chill." It's kinda like play dead but meant for use in situations like when we're eating at a restaurant or she won't sit still. . It works for a good three seconds if we're lucky. . But it sure is cute.
I still am never really sure whether I'll get a wet nose boop or teeth to my face when I ask for a kiss from this one. . Does your dog kiss nicely? . Sponsored by @zukespets #LiveLifeOffLeash #ZukesPack #LetsGoZukes
Inevitably, when I tell someone that I run alone in the woods, they ask me, with horror "aren't you scared that something will happen to you?” "Not at all," I reply. This often leaves them fearful on my behalf, shocked that I have no trepidation. I've run thousands of miles in the woods all over this world without issue. I don't even know what I would fear. An attack? A wild animal? An injury? Sure, these things are all possibilities, but I can't allow fear to guide my every decision. I'd never leave my house. I'm stronger because of the things I do alone. It empowers me. It teaches me. It drives me. // Happy International Women's Day to all my fellow badass women pushing the limits, fighting for our rights, and braving the wild.
After many modes of transportation, long flights and layovers, and too many hours without sleep, we're back home with La Loca. . And now, we need a break from our vacation. . How about you? Do you need a couple days to recover from a trip, or can you jump right back into normal life?
I haven't yet broken it to her that her ears aren't quite the same as Dumbo's. 🐘
Dave told me it was -11 this morning in Denver, and I thought "oh, man, this is going to be a cold run." Then we went and got coffee and I thought "wow! Denver does cold so well! It certainly doesn't feel like -11!" I didn't even need gloves.I went for my run, 10 miles, and while it was cold, it wasn't all that bad.I came back and told Dave how amazed I was about how warm it feels here and how well I did running in such cold.Then he said, "oh, that was -11°C." 🙄By the time I ran, it felt like 19°F, so I'm still impressed with myself. Hmph!
