Stress relief

follow these signs to the best beach hotel in Jaco Costa Rica

Hotel 9


When a great friend from college called me and asked if I would like to tag a long with them on a trip to Costa Rica, I could bearly hang up the phone before visions of trails, rainforest, beaches, and hundreds of other outside goodness started dancing around in my head. Costa Rica is one of the best destinations to go play until your heart is full of joy this playing brings. The last time i visited, my family wore out the entire Carribean coast, so I was very excited to spend some time in a small surfer town Jacó, Costa Rica.

Just in case you haven’t heard there is going to be a huge road race in Atlanta this weekend. ING full and half marathons will take place in and around Atlanta this weekend. If you are running either the full or the half good luck. The cheering this city gives is the best for any race you could ever run. You can’t run a mile without someone shouting, waving, and smiling you on your way. (smiling makes you run faster FYI)
So what happens after you run the best race ever? Your body will thank you a million times over if you take yourself to Jeju . This Korean Sauna bath house has hot, warm, and cold pools to soak your entire body. Your knees, ankles and all other stressed parts will recover a little faster if you do a cold soak post race.
So… for those racing, GOOD LUCK. For those cheering, WHOOHOO! For those who need to recover post race, JEJU, try it you might like it.
