As the mom of three young adult males, wife to lifelong athlete and hardcore fitness fan myself, I can confidently call myself an expert on the gear needs and desires of a sporty family. First, there’s “needing” something essential for the playing of a particular sport – like shin guards, or a helmet or a running bra that fits just right. Other times (and probably more frequently), there’s the wishing of some epic new gear, like those buzz-worthy sneakers that just dropped, a jersey in support of a favorite team, or some fancy sunglasses.

Raise your hand if you’re ready for a long Memorial Day weekend? I know I am! We’ve had the busiest month filled with graduations, moving kids home from college for the summer, out-of-town races, end-of-year award banquets and school activities and more.

I’m ready for a little R&R and low-stress food duty. My fitness plans are relaxed and go-with-the-flow, but I’m hoping to do some stand-up paddle-boarding, time take a trail run, and to complete the Murph Hero WOD again this year.

When you think about it, time is the most valuable gift you can give another person. It’s far more valuable that a fleeting material possession and creates an enduring memory with the person you are gifting it to. 10 Ways to Gift Time without Giving Up Holiday Workouts adidas
