Trying to sneak an extra few minutes of reading time into my Monday, so I'm trying to read on the treadmill.... How do you sneak extra reading time into your day?

ValerieAndBooks This! It's the only way I'm able to get myself to the health club...knowing that I can read my iPad on the treadmill or stair master. 8y
christineandbooks I bribe myself to exercise by listening to my audiobook. Also while I'm cooking dinner sometimes. 8y
Little_Reader Audio is the best! I listen while I get ready in the morning, while I drive, while a do the dishes and make dinner, and at the gym. I've been able to make a dent in my TBR by adding audio to my reading life. 😍 8y

Discovered I really don't have a lot of sport books.... I've had this book about training for a marathon for years!!! When I bought it I was running 5Ks & thinking about up my distance but life got in the way & I never did... I've recently put on my running shoes again but maybe this will inspire me .. #giveawaysports

#FunFridayPhoto Not smashing any bookworm stereotypes when I tell you I'm not a huge sports fan, lol, but I have always liked running and this book really means a lot to me because it helped me to first believe in, and then actually run my first marathon, and then 5 more. Okay bragging over now😂 but I never could have done it without Bingham's self-deprecating humor and incremental approach to training - super grateful for this book. @Liberty

Howseldomtheydo Congrats! I've run a few half's can't imagine tackling the whole 26. 8y

Signed up for the Akron half marathon on September 24, 2016. Definitely need a "for mortals" guide, I am not an elite athlete...yet. ;)
