Good morning.
Yes it is still morning, but yes… I am late. First of all… my fingers hurt. Well.. I think maybe it is my arms hurt all the way to my wrists and therefore it is effecting my fingers. 😛 Kickboxing Day 2 did not come out as pain free as day one. I think I over achieved, over confidently thought that since day 1 was pretty much pain free why not jump back in to the ring? Well… I definitely felt weaker last night, seemed that my arms tired more quickly and I watched the clock…. a lot. Is it over yet? I was supposed to do to the 5:00 pm class tonight with my friend Christy but I am pretty sure I will be canceling out and waiting to start again on Monday.
The Dewey Read-A-Thon is tomorrow – SSSQQQQUUUEEEEE!!! This is so much fun and I hope you are planning to participate….don’t worry if you cant do the full 24 hours (oh I tried once… at 2 am it was not pretty… :razz:) If you can take any amount of time at all to read and join in the fun you should go sign up! 😀 And they have fun mini challenges throughout the day to break up the reading time and I love that! I have the 2 pm (central time) challenge right here and make a note to come check it out because you are not going to want to miss this one! 😀 I have a couple must do’s tomorrow – one being going to my friends silent auction so I will listen to audio while traveling there… keeping in the readathon theme…
And as for book love…. ahhhh… I just am craving book time. I am going to sit down here in a few minutes and wrap up Little Princes. Yeah, that was on my agenda for yesterday but the day was crazy busy and after kick boxing and dinner I fell asleep on the couch at 9 pm. Boy that is embarrassing. 😛
Today I am doing group power at noon, dropping off items for the auction, going to the library, prepping my post for tomorrow, and reading. Yes – I am hitting the pause button on life and getting in a little reading time….. warming up for tomorrow 😀
Book Journey 
I am excited about the read-a-thon. I was worried when you said you were not sore, but now it makes sense. Give your muscles time to heal and begin fresh on Monday. 🙂
LOL…. Yes, I figured I was stronger because of my weight lifting class… ha ha…. not true. 😉
I may take the bike out today and see how the trails are… it is gorgeous outside and it is calling me….
I’m so excited for the read-a-thon too! I’m going to be MIA for part of it too, as I have two…count ’em…two library sales tomorrow! What could be better…a read-a-thon AND library sales in one weekend. I’m in heaven!
Oh library sales…… so totally envious! 😀
I can get that same feeling just from regular workouts! LOL
I have to go somewhere tomorrow, but maybe I can do some Read-a-Thon moments afterwards.
Yes Laurel – get in there – you can do it and be sure to stop by and see me too 🙂
enjoy the read-a-thon and the weekend

Thanks Carol I hope too! This is the first time I am not a part of “working” the read a thon so I am excited to READ!
That exercise motivation poster is how I feel about exercise all of the time. I’ve been working out and eating right all week with the exception of the container of German chocolate frosted brownies that I picked up mid-week. Evidently I have proven that all other exercise and healthy eating is canceled out by eating a dozen brownies in three days.
LOL Alyce – thats just good advice as I was driving home today after group power and after a 3 mile bike ride (as far as I could get on the trail as it is still snow covered in spots) I considered getting a McDonalds hot fudge sundae…. but didn’t. 😛
Ooh, our mini-challenges are back-to-back! 😀 I’m feeling my workout from this morning more than I have been.
Oh fun! 😀 I a kind of shot now… but I worked out this morning and am eating a chicken taco – wheat wrap with this for lunch so feeling proud of myself (even though my wrists still hurt!) 😀
Yeah! I’m looking forward to seeing what yours is. 😀
Oh, I know. The second day of a new workout is always the worst. Hope you won’t give up. Next time will be easier again.
I’m so looking forward to the read-a-thon! It’s going to be lots of fun.
I wont give up – I committed to a 6 month contract the first night I was there….. 😀
Second day is always the worst with muscle soreness. It gives that lactic acid a little more time to make it’s presence known. LOL
Good luck this weekend with the read-a-thon. I tried it last year and decided that I’m just not a read-a-thon girl. I’ll be thinking about all of you guys though
That must be it Kay – legs and back are tight and lower arms and wrists ache. 😀 Ahhh…. the crazy things I do to myself….
I’m excited for the readathon too! I’ll check in with you tomorrow. I probably won’t do the whole 24 hours either.
I do plan to get up early Linda and hopefully get an early start…. I am better at early than I am at late 😀
I found the next day of kickboxing was particularly rough.
I am actually glad to hear that it was not just me… 😛 I felt really weak in the arms! Next week though – I am back on! 🙂
