I read those first two books, too. I thought they were ok. Not as great as everyone seemed to think. I think Gone Girl was better than Girl on a Train, & All the Light was good, but not great.
Nothing terribly exciting going on.
Congrats on getting some speed back!

I agree. They were not great but enjoyable.

You had a really great July. I loved the boating (and skiing) too. I want cooler weather for running, but hate to give that up. Which half are you planning for #15?

Hi Darlene,
I found my way over here from the Liebster award post of “Running Fifty”. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think you are also the Darlene from the blog Instructional Technology at Albany law School.
Looks like you have had a great summer, both in your running, and enjoying lots of fun summer activities.
Thanks for sharing! 🙂

Awesome month! Great mileage and well done on the 5K times! A little speed is always a confidence booster! I hope I can get mine back in Fall.
July sounds like a win for you!
