Weekend Wonders ~ Last Weekend in June!

Hi Everyone!

At last the weekend is here! Not only is it time to spend some time outside and playing with friends and family but it is time to get those June goals completed! The daylight is very long at this time of the year, use it to your advantage and do all the activities you have on your list before the sun sets.

Drew and I are planning to get on our bikes and hit the hills one day and get out on the water and windsurf too. We are also treating ourselves as the month is coming to the end and getting massages to rest and rejuvinate our hard-working muscles. We recommendthat everyone treat rest & recovery as equally as important as activity. Try to take a few moments this weekend to assess how your body is feeling and what it is telling you.

Here are our weekly articles to keep you "in the know"...
