Read, Run, Ramble

I'm just a girl on a mission - a mission to read many books, run (walk) many miles and ramble about it all!

I started my EVERY.DAMN.DAY challenge on January 1. I’ve mentioned that I joined it through the I <3 Running Facebook page, but I also have several friends joining me and supporting me. With them, I made it to January 29 - no missed days. Some days I did 4.5 miles, others 1 mile exactly (the challenge is for at least 1 mile every day). However, I went for my walk/jog on Sunday the 29th and less than 1/2 way through I was struck with some type of stomach flu/virus - no forewarning…just BAM and I was down for 2 days.

To say the least, I’m very irritated that I made it that far only to go down to illness; however, I’m also happy it was illness - something out of my control. If EVERY.DAMN.DAY turns out to be EVERY.DAMN.DAY I was physically able, I’m good with that.

And now - Feb 1st and I’m back with 2.4 miles (and another episode of Vampire Diaries…ladies, exercise has never been so freaking rewarding than it is when watching the Salvatore brothers)!



Silver lining: I finished two books while I was down - 11/22/63 by Stephen King and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer. Two very awesome books by two very talented authors. My review for 11/22/63 is upcoming and my review for Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close has been posted here
