Lately... some running, some reading, and some music

I've been really keeping up with my running lately, and I'm feeling pretty good. I did another 10 mile long run yesterday. Next week will be a cut-back week, so only 8 miles on Saturday. I had planned to run Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday but have only run 3 times a week for these last two weeks. I was actually outside stretching before my Wednesday evening run when a friend stopped by. We just sat outside and chatted and then went for ice cream with eyes (at my suggestion ;) Mine was lemon and it was yummy! Sometimes it just feels good to step away from the schedule.

Despite the indiscretion, my weight loss is going well. I'm down 9.5 pounds since the beginning of the year and I already feel sooo much better.

In other news, my brother emailed me an electronic copy of The Hunger Games this week. He finished Book 1 and was thoroughly impressed. I've been hearing so much about this series and how good it is. So I decided that I would not study on Friday or Saturday and would take these days to enjoy myself and read The Hunger Games. And I'm really glad I did. The book is riveting! I'm hoping to see the movie in the next few days. 

I hope everyone takes a little bit of time this weekend to do something for YOURSELF. It'll make you feel so much better. :)

So, I'm just gonna leave you with some music - again, brought to you by my brother's great taste- this time in music. When I visited him 2 weeks ago in Miami we listened to The Roots album "Undun" and it's been stuck in my head since then. I bought the entire album last week and it's really good.
