A good friend of mine created Vacay Sunglasses and sent me a few to try out. I fell in love with the glasses right away and asked him if I could do a giveaway because I wanted to share their amazingness with you.
Vacay Sunglasses theme that I love—> LIVE MORE AND WORK LESS.
The classic matte plum are my absolute favorite.
Sunglasses usually leave lines on the top of my nose after I wear them for a while but these ones don’t at all… I think it is because they are super light yet at the same time they are durable and sturdy.
The seafoam ones just makes life more fun and the black is classic and I wear them all of the time too.
You can get a 25% discount on your VACAY Sunglasses by using the code—> RUNMORE25

A few things from yesterday. It has been ages since our last baking extravaganza together so we decided to make whole wheat banana bread. We both agreed on using chocolate chips instead of blueberries this time around though.
Brooke is helping to keep me injury free by being my foam rolling buddy and…
by sitting on me while I am in pigeon pose (stretching out my hips). She makes sure that I don’t get up out of the stretch too early like I normally do.
And last but not least Brooke is obsessed with the exact same flamingo that I was obsessed with when I was 11 years old. We have the same taste.
Off to do a Lactate Threshold Test this morning which is probably going to make my lungs and muscles work really hard and hurt a lot.

I’m definitely going to live more this weekend and work less because I had a c-section on the 19th and were having fun being parents of two kids now. My first child Kaylee was born right around Brooke and we have been enjoying your blog for years! Happy 4th to you and your family!

Live more, work less:
We are going to the “Dude Ranch” where we got married and there is NO technology. Just lots of sunshine, horseback riding, puzzles, games, and margaritas.
Happy 4th everyone! Stay safe!

Andy Winn
After over fifteen years of working on staff at First Baptist Church, Durham, our church was gracious enough to give our family time for rest, relaxation, and renewal. Therefore, we are spending this holiday weekend getting ready for a seven week trip to East Asia to visit our friends serving overseas! We are so grateful for our church and excited to “live more and work less” over these next seven weeks! Considering my sunglasses broke two weeks ago, I was so excited about the thought of entering this contest in hopes to win a new pair of sunglasses to use in East Asia!
Lynn
I’m not going to worry about the house being a mess and just relax and enjoy the weekend w my husband and daughters.
