Any AW's or brags? This is my OFF week to rest and recouperate. More recouperate and let my body get over a couple of minor nagging things. Rest now so much since I am getting caught up on things around the house.

Good to Go: What the Athlete in All of Us Can Learn from the Strange Science of Recovery was interesting. The conclusion was that sleep is the best recovery of all.

My plan still seems way behind anyone else I know. Last weeks long Run was supposed to be 7 but I did 11 (6 Trail) and this weekend is supposed to be 5. Like my friends midweeks are at 8 and mine are at 3. Her marathon is earlier than mine but still....

Just coming off the high from an amazing vacation and trying to lose some of the potato lbs acquired. 




Any AW's or brags?
Had a really amazing trip to Ireland last week. It was our first overseas trip with the kids and we survived and even had a lot of fun. I got a few runs in when I was there in Dublin, Dingle and Westport. I love running on vacation even though it's challenging logistically. It's my me time and I get a chance to enjoy the surroundings in the peaceful morning.

I wrote this wrong at first. LOL I actually have been reading plenty of books. But I haven't read a good book recently that I couldn't put down. I finally found one. I started Radium Girls. It's the story of girls that worked to make watch dials when radium was used and how they were poisoned by it. It's very good and very heartbreaking at the same time. I've read a lot of history about this time period, but had never heard this story before.

Life outside H&F stuff has been overwhelming, lots going on in the summer and my motivation has tanked.

Hmm the last really good book I couldn't out down was 7-1/2 deaths of Evelyn Hugo. I've also really been enjoying the Mercy Thompson series by Patrica Briggs.

That's next on my book club list  

I read it with book club too, and I probably wouldn't have heard of it otherwise- enjoy! p.s. I hear the movie's coming out as well

I love summer. But OMG this oppressive heat and humidity is killing me slowly. My half marathon last Saturday was in full on sun and it was 85* out. I had to walk/run (and there was a LOT more walking than running) the last 5.5 miles. It was awful.

Any AW's or brags?
I finished my half marathon on Saturday even though it was hot and horrible. It was my slowest yet, but I’m pretty proud of my overall time given how much walking I did. I even came in the top 40% which makes me feel like EVERYONE was struggling, b/c my time was really not that good. But I got a free glass of wine at the end, which was nice.

Spilled Milk. It was a little disturbing, and it was based on a true story, but it kept me interested until the end.
Also, I just finished listening to Genuine Lies by Nora Roberts. It’s an old book, that I read years and years ago, and I’m so disappointed it’s over. LOL.
