Good morning! I was not planning to drop off the blogesphere yesterday but I was in charge of a 5K here in Brainerd and after getting up at 5 am and biking the route to mark it off and then setting up the event with awesome awesome awesome volunteers at 6:30 am and then being there until afternoon…
well lets just say I was shot.
A mid afternoon nap, assembling a new grill for my hubby for his Fathers Day gift, and a visit from my cousin Cheryl made for a nice evening . We used the grill last night too.
As for books that came in the past couple of weeks here is what I have:
I have some fun reading ahead!
When you read the start of this post about the 5k know that I am not a runner. My cousin Jarrod says if you are out and moving and not sitting on the couch yes you are a runner… but really, I don’t think I am.
However, I do want to be.
So that said, today I am starting my half marathon training. My friend Christy and possibly a couple of others I know are planning on doing a half marathon this October. The half marathon has been my goal for this year and frankly between our winter that lasted through April and the rain that took over May – I am way way behind.
I am still doing it.
I am using a plan called 12 Week Half Marathon. I am starting today with the Tuesday schedule – the 3 mile. In fact, I should be on the trail in the next thirty minutes. After that my cousin Cheryl is meeting me to Rollerblade. I will keep you informed here and probably on the Fitness blog I started and have neglected for the past three months 😳
Later this afternoon I am going to listen to audio while working in my hosta garden and then we will probably grill again – gorgeous out today! And then tonight I will do some reading. My day sounds awesome – I hope yours does too. 😀
Book Journey 
I’m impressed that you assembled the grill…My daughter is good at assembling things. Me, not so much.
I see some titles on your stacks that I’m wanting, like The Last Original Wife, The Apple Orchard, and The Wonder Bread Summer. I enjoyed Sweet Salt Air.
Here’s my SUNDAY UPDATES/MAILBOX MONDAY
I’m impressed that you put the grill together! I see several books in your stacks that look really good!
your bookshelves are filling up fast!!
Wow! that is a lot of books!!! Sounds like a busy and full weekend! Love that grill!
Even the reading of the host of stuff you do exhausts me! but you obviously enjoy it all and thats the most important thing. Have a good week.
I see some books in your stacks I’d like to read – especially The Last Original Wife!
The grill looks fantastic! What a great gift.
I’m not a runner either, and I refuse to be one. But I hope you’ll do a great job in your training so you’ll be ready for the half marathon in October.
I have to admit – I’m still not sure I ever want to do a half-marathon!! You are braver than I am!
Good luck with that marathon training and getting through the marathon haul of books.
I read and reviewd On a Farther Shore last year, and it was one of my favorites. I really hope you enjoy it.
I’m so sore!!! BF took me to do stairs, it was a big flight. I took a day of rest and then went for a half-half walk-run 5K. I have a 5K funrun in two weeks so I figured I better get on that 😉
