Yesterdays 5k was a blast! While not the most impressive obstacles…. at one point we had to carry a block of wood around a large area and through some ropes set at different levels… (what is that… a Minnesota thing?) we did have a good time. 😀
One of the obstacles was to go up over this wooden board. You climb it with a rope and then go over the other side. It was about 10 feet high and it was set up pretty unsafe. I couldn’t get up it, there were no foot holds, and my friend Amy got to the top but seeing there was nothing to help you down but to jump on to the icy ground she and I chose to walk around those. Later we were talking to friends and found out one of them broke a rib on that thing and another a finger. 😯 The worst thing that happened to us is that ever since I quit running, I keep coughing. Too much cold air in the lungs I guess. *cough*
Today is a pretty low-key day (YIPPEE!!!!). I am going to church this morning, then picking up a few groceries and then home to dive into a book. I bought Jodi Piccoult’s new one, ‘Between The Lines’ yesterday and I am looking forward to diving in. The house is warm, my blanket snugly. I may see if Al wants to go see a movie later today – there are a few good ones out there.
As for books that came in this week… tis the season! Something about winter and being surrounded by books… makes me so happy!
Don’t these look good? AND a couple of audio too!!!
I have Monday and Tuesday off this week due to an abundance of hours used the end of December and the first of January and I am looking forward to a doing a little work in the book room, a Library meeting, coffee with a friend, and mmmmm…
MORE BOOKS! 😀
How has your weekend been? Anything fun? Have you seen any good movies?
Book Journey 
That stuff sounds nuts, omg, but I hope you enjoy your Sunday and your books! 🙂
LOL it was fun and good to get this winter indoor girl outside… thus the cold lungs 😀
The Typewriter girl looks good, doesn’t it? I hope to get to it soon. Enjoy your books this week.
Thanks… I love that title. You have a super week as well 🙂
That race sounds crazy! I’m glad you decided to walk around the obstacle. You should have come here to race – it was in the 70s!
OOH 70’s!!! That’s more to my liking 😀 I should have took a picture of the obstacle…. it was crazy.
Stay inside and drink juice and tea and read! Or watch movies.
That’s Dr. Laurel-Rain’s prescription…lol
I’m curious about The Typewriter Girl and The One I Left Behind.
I had my granddaughter over for a sleepover starting Friday…we watched a lot of movies!
Here’s MY SUNDAY SALON POST
I guess we are going to that movie, ‘So This is 40’. Sounds good! 😀 I bet you had fun with your granddaughter!
It sounds like it was a good thing you didn’t try to jump down from that crazy obstacle, ouch! Enjoy your new books (yay!) and your time off from work (double yay!!).
I know myself to well… I would have break something and if I am going to break something it needs to be a cooler story then was just being dumb. 😛
I got Obsidian Mirror as well and am looking forward to it.
Yay for audiobooks, those are my favorites. ❤
The book does sound good and oh yeah… AUDIO!!!!
Hope the cough goes away! Into the Darkest Corner and Gilly Salt Sisters are good. Have a wonderful Sunday.
I think it is, thankfully…. I was worried I was going to get sick 😀 Thanks for the audio advice, I look forward to both!
I love being surrounded by books!! I’m more into audio than ever before!! Hope your cough clears up, that you and hubby go see a movie, and that Sunday is truly relaxing!
I love audio too… I may be too busy to read, but many times I can put audio on instead 😀
A broken rib? Wow, that is an intense consequence for one poorly executed climbing wall! Good call on going around it!
I love curling up with a book, blanket, and kitty on a cold day 🙂
He said he was launching himself over the wall when he landed on the upper edge wrong. OUCH!!!
Wow, that one obstacle sounds crazy!! We had a few dangerous obstacles on my mud run – including these pyramids where the only footholds were a quarter inch thick and very slippery. I slid down one of them and landed on my butt after going over it, but nothing broken. Bruised, though!! I’d probably skip those if I did a mud run again…
They had this same obstacle on the mud run we did in October but it had more boards to step on to and on both sides….it was like they put it together in a hurry.
