Welcome to Litsy!

Not what I was expecting/ looking for exactly but…still super enjoyable.
Alexandra Heminsley decides at 29 that she‘s ready to take the athletic leap & run the London Marathon. This is her journey from couch potato to runner of multiple marathons. Alexandra is super self-deprecating, snarky & really delightful. She‘s also 25 years younger than I am. I‘m not looking to run a marathon but I would like to move off my couch. I wanted more how to👇🏼

This is delightful 😁hoping to find inspiration 👟 👟 👟

Picked this up on the Audible sale ❤️
Looking for inspiration…
Ive been thinking of taking up running ( I know, who am I kidding?!!??)

Pretty much what you'd want from an amateur runner's running memoir: some funny stories, some inspiring ones, some that make you say, "I know how that feels," and others that make you say, "I wouldn't have guessed, thanks for sharing." It's slanted toward beginning runners, so if you've been contemplating that first pair of running shoes, this might be your book.

Little sis has a kindle on my account while she is living in China so that she can take advantage of my massive kindle library. This also means I buy books for her to read that are not my thing. She‘s a runner who has been going stir crazy because of the quarantine rules, so I‘m sure you can spot the latest books that are going to be confusing the suggestions algorithm...

I gave "Running Like a Girl" 4 stars on my first read and I think I enjoyed it even more second time round. I'd recommend this book for anyone who wants to run, or is thinking about running, but needs that extra push to get out the door - 5 stars!

My full review is up on my blog now ?

So these are my goals for the #bookfitnesschallenge #bfc

Encouraging, funny, and totally relatable! Pushed the “average joe” runner like myself to realize the purpose and power of running. Definitely recommend to people who are thinking about joining the running community or to any runner who is looking for a light, funny read 👍🏼

#BookFitnessChallenge Week 2 Day 7

Hit my steps and my calories (yay!) and got a third run in, along with a couple of walks. Tried to listen to my audiobook but my brain has other stuff going on so I didn‘t really take anything in, going to have to rewind and relisten 😩

Picture is of Charlecote House, a National Trust property that we visited at the weekend. (Because pictures of English suburbia where I run aren‘t that interesting!)

Getting in some practice for the #BookFitnessChallenge! My goals are to read at least 9 books over the 6 weeks of the challenge, and do 105k steps per week, including 3 runs. Warm-up tonight in the form of a 10K race 😁

@wanderinglynn

Book goals: 6

Fitness goal:
105,000 steps per week including at least three runs per week.

#Booked2019 new to you author complete!! This was the perfect motivation I needed really want to get into running outdoors this year! @Cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft @BarbaraTheBibliophage

I really like it this audiobook. It bothers me that it was narrated by an American while book is about a British runner as well as I didn't like the fact that they change pounds for dollars but was a good narration. It motivates me to run more and was a great recommendation from @angela_fi13

Today is all about sport: Roller Derby World Cup and reading prep for my first 5K this spring (actual running will occur when the derby games are over this afternoon.)
This book also counts for the “book about or involving a sport” for #popsugar2018 challenge.

Day 1 of @bookriot February #riotgames challenge: #shelfie. My TBR shelf, a yellow submarine, and some Beatles.

This is usually my go to book when I'm putting the kids to bed or struggling after a run ❤️

Just take another sip & remember only 4 more days til Friday.

Day 21 of #booksacrossoceans is books with sports.

I played softball badly & did color guard fairly well in school. As an adult I've run 2 #marathons and a lot of #halfmarathons.
I'm hoping to do a #readathon next month where you can choose the subject, author or type of books you read.

What sports did/do you play?

So good that i immediately went for a jog! 💚💙💜💛

So inspiring! Loved it! 💜❤💛💚💙

I want to start running. Hopefully this (and my new shoes) will motivate me!

Enjoyed this more than I thought I would. It reminded me of why I used to run.

Let's do this!
