Book it! July/August
I haven’t had as much of a chance to read in the past two months, partly because I’ve been going, going, going, and by the time I get to bed and play a word on my Words with Friends games, I’ve been tired. The other …

Workouts: August 19 – 28
I want to start posting my workouts on Wednesdays because I don’t always post on the weekends and then I don’t end up posting them until the next week. So this is an extra-long post to get on schedule with that. Sorry about that. I …
I Quit a Book
I’m not sure if I’ve ever quit reading a book, no matter how bad it was – except maybe some books back in school that I didn’t choose to read and had no real intention of finishes (Fahrenheit 151 comes to mind). Well, I tried …
