Reading and Running

Reading and Running. One I have done to much of of late, and one not nearly enough! Any guesses on where I am slacking? If you guessed running you would be right. Where in the world has my motivation gone? Did the kids or the heat steal it? The brownies or bagels? Honestly it fled when I stopped seeing results the moment I wanted to. Now I am facing another view of the results I didn't see. The results of NOT running..I am up 15 lbs and my times aren't getting better. Which means that I will be getting off of my nice comfy couch and taking some sort of jog here very tonight. I was doing so good and then I just lost it...I hope to whom ever it fled to they are enjoying it.

On to reading. I love to read. I go places, meet people and experience things that I know I never will be able to in my life. Reading opens doors! With that said one must be careful what doors one opens. I love all literature. I see the value in the written word. I don't like all of it though and boy of late have I been picking some stinkers! With the next book club meeting being pick you own I truly do want to find a GOOD read, not a quick read or a cute read. Something that I truly an enjoy. I am starting this weekend with a book called The Vanishing act of Esme Lennox by Maggie O'Farrell. This looks to be a good book that should have some great depth. I am hoping to post my thoughts on this book later this weekend!

I hope that everyone has a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend. Please take time to remember what Memorial day is really about. Remembering those we have lost, especially those that we have lost protecting our rights here in what I feel is the greatest country of them all the United States of America.
