nature – The Sol Compass

Lost in the Woods

Running (or walking) in nature is one of my favorite things ever. Getting lost in the beauty of the world we live in and taking myself away from the chaos of life is often the only medicine I need to turn my mood around. It’s one of the reasons I always fall into a slump from January through March, when I’m not getting the chance to reconnect with nature and disconnect from the busy trap.

A safety feature of running in the woods for me is definitely to wear bright colors. One of my favorite trails happens to wind through hunting grounds, so we always have to make sure to dress bold and bright enough for hunters to see us. One of the cool parts about running in nature is it hasn’t been altered by man, but that also means having to take proper precautions to avoid injury. These running sneakers from New Balance are the perfect trail blazers to tackle any sort of natural terrain, and cushioned enough to keep me going as long as my mind needs to unwind and reset.

Singing Beach

A couple weeks ago we had a stretch of days into the 90s, and so we were able to sneak in a beach trip to the beautiful Singing Beach in Manchester-By-The-Sea. It’s so named because the sand squeaks when you walk across it! It’s also super accessible from the city (only half a mile walk from the train station) so it makes for a great day trip spot for Bostonians.

Free Fall-ing

An autumn afternoon spent apple picking is always at the top of everyone’s To-Do list when October rolls around. With the unseasonably warm climate, all I needed for a fun day of hiking and apple picking was my ever-versatile quilted vest thrown over a reliable flannel (nothing says fall in New England quite like a plaid flannel!) These Aerosoles boots are hands down the most comfortable pair of boots I own. They come equipped with standard Aerosoles technology; including cushioned insoles, breathable lining, and an expandable calf fit! They are an absolute necessity for me on any fall adventure that requires a bit of extra walking or uneven terrain. Later this week expect to see some recipes I made from the abundance of apples I gathered today!
