I hope 2016 has started well for everyone.
Warm weather has kept the snow away BUT it's great for running and the porch is still an option. This is a lovely place that warms my heart, snuggling with a warm blanket to enjoy a hot tea... or my renewed fascination with Glogg.
Books
I read 37 books in 2015. I'm happy with this number, my reading habits have changed in recent years and I don't track personal enrichment reading on goodreads... (eg: business empowerment, cookbooks). Sadly, I didn't give any of books five stars, but did read 18 four stars.
I'm off to a good start in 2016 - I have read two books in the first week of January.
4 stars: Missing Pieces (by Gudenkauf, Pub date: Feb 2)
3 stars: My Year of Living Biblically (book club selection)
There are several books I'm excited to read so here's hoping for a great year of reading.
Running
Week three of training is done. This weekend I decided to run my favorite trail, a five mile loop called the Yellow trail. From the parking lot to the loop (x2), I ran 10.5 miles. I love running this one, it has a 1.5 mile climb, followed by 8 minutes of winding descend that provides many opportunities to jump over natural obstacles.
2016 will be an exciting year - I have a list of a few goals/wishes to keep me on my toes. More on all of this later!
Have a wonderful weekend, Mari
