This is the perfect time to read books with a bit of decay!

This weekend my boyfriend and I went to Wildwood, NJ.

I used to go to Wildwood every summer with my family as a child, and have not been there in 4 years. In my opinion, it’s one of the nicer shores in Jersey. It’s basically a big beachtown full of restaurants, a boardwalk, amusement parks, waterparks, bars, etc. I actually forgot how clean/big the beach is!

I am currently on Chapter 4 of “You Are A Badass” and so far it’s pretty good. I am not too fond of how it’s written, but I think as far as motivational straight-to-the-point books are concerned, this one is decent. So far, I like the analogies the author uses and the inspirational quotes she starts each chapter with. It’s an easy read and good for laying by the pool/beach.

On Sunday morning I went for a run only to find that my iPod was dead. If any of you guys are also on the east coast right now, you know how incredibly hot it’s been. Mixing a music-less run + hot weather is not my favorite combo. Because I don’t get to run down the shore often, I still ran 3 miles without music. When I got back to our place we were staying at, I decided to set my watch for 10 minutes and went up and down the 2 flights of outdoor stairs until I hit the entire 10 minutes. I would mix in skipping every other step intervals as well. This was super challenging and I was dying 4 minutes in. It felt so good when I was done. After that, I did a little stretching/yoga (as pictured: treepose with subpar form).
