This email is coming to you from Darrington WA. We are finally out and about again! Yay!
Follow us @thevantasticlife for daily #vanlife travel fun!
Here’s what I found fun, interesting, or noteworthy this week…
Who I’m following on social –
Maximillian Mitchell on Instagram
This guy is a mountain bike rider and coach who is not only super fun to watch ride, but is also super fit!
You might think that because people ride mountain bikes they would be fit, but most are just mountain biking fit, and lack complete fitness that comes from a good strength/fitness program. But put the two together, and… Holy smokes, that’s the recipe for super fitness!
What I’m stoked about –
Popfly – Social Gear Reviews
It’s an app where you can find short outdoor gear reviews from people who are out using the gear all the time.
We’ve started creating reviews of our favorite stuff on Popfly and think they are going to grow into something big.
Download the app here iOS / Google
Cool / Not Cool thing that happened –
I rolled the heck out of my ankle stepping out of the van a few nights ago. We are talking rolling on the ground moaning, feeling like I was going to throw up, thinking I just ruined our whole summer kinda stuff.
I have a very high pain threshold and this was the worst pain I’d experienced.
BUT the cool thing is that #1 my body was durable enough to not actually tear anything bad enough that needed medical help, and #2 that I healed fast enough to ride my bike the next two days.
I am going to have to be more careful the next few weeks until it’s fully healed, but thank freaking goodness for training hard!
If you need another good reason to workout hard… here it is!
