Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m still 4 books behind on my Goodreads challenge, and I didn‘t even touch a treadmill in the month of June (& I work at a gym). So, needless to say, I failed miserably at by June #BFC2022 goals.
So for July…I‘m taking a mulligan and keeping the same goals:
☀️ Catch up on my 2022 Goodreads reading challenge (I.e. finish 6 or 7 books)
☀️ Do a 5k on the first and last days of the month (with training in between), and see how my time improves.

June #BFC2022 goals:

☀️ Catch up on my 2022 Goodreads reading challenge (I.e. finish 6 or 7 books)
☀️ Do a 5k on the first and last days of the month (with training in between), and see how my time improves.

The only thing more embarrassing than how behind I am on my reading challenge is how long it‘s going to take me to do 3.1 miles tomorrow.

Do I got this book on Overdrive because I wanted a goofy comic to read in bed, to turn my brain off after a long week. It was perfect - it outright cracked me up. (Also, clearly running is on my brain. Damn it nature be springtime already so I can make a real shot at this.)

I‘m sending in a ringer, but I need to finish two books to complete my #2017ReadingChallenge and I am bound and determined to finish.

My #bookishresolutions are to read at least 75 books and to complete at least two reading challenges. This book fit the category of sports book for the #ReadHarder2017 challenge. It was equal measures hysterical and inspirational. So funny!

Fitting, as I'm starting training for my first marathon this week. Missed posting yesterday... #booksquotes #somethingforsept #septphotochallenge @RealLifeReading

Sports-themed #funfridayphoto goes to The Oatmeal. He writes about long-long-LONG distance running but also creates amazingly filthy games like Exploding Kittens.

I decided to go with a sports book that made me laugh for today's #FunFridayPhoto. I love this book about running by The Oatmeals's Matthew Inman. This book has actually inspired me and made me feel better about running. He talks about how hard it is to keep at it and to ignore that inner voice that tells you to give up, aka the Blerch. His cartoons are hilarious, but he also discusses some of his past and current struggles with being healthy.

Day 5 of #augustofpages is sport themed. I don't have (and rarely read) sporty books - but I do like the oatmeal and he has a whole book about running. Boom. Done. #augustphotochallenge

Settling in with some inspiration before my long run tomorrow morning! Matthew does a wonderful job of capturing the reality of being a runner in all of its beautiful complexities.
