1. Reading - Chosen by Chandra Hoffman
For you Oregon bloggers it is another book set in Portland. I have barely started it so no recommendation yet.
Just finished reading the second in the Chelsea Cain series (Sweetheart) which is also set in Portland. I have read the first, second and fourth book in the series. (how the library had them available.) Loved all of them but especially the fourth one.
2. Watching - Grey's Anatomy - Never fails to entertain. I think it is Season 5.
3. Loving - Summer (even though I worked this morning and will work all day Monday). It is great to have more time to work out, sleep, read, blog, procrastinate, waste time. I can actually fit in both biking and running although it is not as easy as I thought it would be. How in the world do you triathletes do it?
I did find out I can use the Burlington gyms any time this summer. I need to get up there and use the pools and see if I can swim even a little bit. I am also loving that summer isn't too hot yet.
4. Racing - I have my next race this Sunday. It is my first ten miler so a PR right? It is supposed to be hilly but scenic. It was featured in Runner's World. It is a bit of a drive for me and starts early (7:30) so I will be getting up very early Sunday morning. I tried to talk my husband or son into going with me but not sure that is going to happen. I always like a little road trip and there are outlets and Target to hit after if I want so all is good.

have fun on sun!
Good luck on the 10'er! I love first time races 'cause you're guaranteed a PR!
GL this Sunday! I debated running it but it just didn't work out. It is a beautiful course.
Best of luck on your 10-Miler!
Enjoy your race!
I love Portland. Oregon is my 2nd favorite state. Those books look a little chicky to me. I'm probably wring though. I think our taste in books align.
Hope you are doing great. Sounds like it.
Have a wonderful race on Sunday!
Ooops, I meant that I'm probably "wrong" about those books being chicky.
My fav states are: CA, OR, CO
VT? Do I have to answer that?!
I like VT Bloggers, how's that?
The first book in that Chelsea Cain series was AWESOME! I got too busy to read the second one, so it went back to the library but I'll be looking for it again in a few weeks.
Good luck on your 10-miler, I love a guaranteed PR!!
Every time I read your blog I wish I spent more time in VT when I had the chance - like the 25 years I lived in New England.
Love the use of alliteration in the post title...
I liked the Chelsea Cain book too (we read the same at the same time). Right now I discovered the books of Karen Rose, just finished the first and started the second. If you like Karin Slaughter, you'll like this too. For me it's a pageturner, I'm having trouble putting it away.
Good luck on your 10-miler on Sunday. I'm going to do my first in September.
You've asked how we take Bella with us when we are on the bike. She's in a basket behind me. I'll post a pic in my next post.
Well I'm enjoying winter here and had a freezing run this morning. Have a great run at the 10 miler. Here by us they start winter race 7:00, 7:30 or 8:00. Summer races start 5:00, 5:30 or 6:00. So all races are early.
Thanks for the book recommendations.
Hmmm swimming now...someone is thinking about tri-ing :)
Have fun racing tomorrow...and shopping!
Good luck for tomorrow and congrats in advance for your PR!
Summer for me is a nightmare: I work a lot. Too many ships in the port.
I like the new header.
Have fun on Sunday and remember to smile when you cross the finish line!
Enjoy the 10miler, it's a race distance that i've always wanted to try!
I'll have to keep my eye out for the Chelsea Cain novels. I'm always open to book recommendations.
There's a 10-mile race here in Denver that I have always loved to do and it became one of my favorites. Good luck, have total fun-ness....and welcome to your summer break - yay!!
Good luck, and also have fun shopping!
