Who isn’t loving Michael Phelps right now? Let me not state the obvious (8 gold medals) but I just read that in his downtime, Phelps unwinds by watching the wildlife documentary series Planet Earth. His coach Bob Bowman reveals watching animals and plants enhances his performance by helping him to relax before a swim.

Wait, hear that sound? That’s my heart going pitter patter. Jen and I have had a few date nights together watching this Emmy award winning, BBC nature documentary series. It took 5 years to shoot and is the first of it’s kind to be entirely filmed in high definition. A truly inspirational view of our planet as a whole. We only have one, let’s try not to mess it up.

We still have a few more to watch and I’ll just tell you right now Jen, if you see me dreamily looking over at you one night, it’s probably because I’m picturing Phelps (shirtless of course and maybe with Johnny Depps face instead) snuggling up on the couch & watching furry animals and the deep blue seas with me. Minus the tub of ice cream and kit kat bars. Planet Earth and The Blue Planet are definitely ones to get for your collection.
