40Miles20hours

Tell-All | Chuck Palahniuk

pick

This was a really fun #audiobook. The narrator did an excellent job. It's really funny. It's told like a movie script but as a tell-all written by a movie star's companion. And there's some murder.

I think nearly everyone else is finished with #40Miles20Hours but here are my final totals:
42.36 miles 16.85 hours

The Amber Spyglass | Philip Pullman

I did it! I hit #40Miles20Hours - I‘ve been trying to walk 2 miles a day during the week, weather permitting obviously.

And I‘ve finished 3 audiobooks, started 1 and then my hold ran out and am in the middle of the tagged book. I have 5 hours left of the tagged.

Finished - Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Thjs Is How You Lose The Time War, 8 Perfect Murders
Started - Neverwhere but my hold ran out

Fateful Lightning: A Novel of the Civil War | Jeff Shaara

At the start of #40miles20hours I was 7:45 from the end. I finished today! Onto whatever e-audiobook my library has available today for my walking listening. My Fitbit says I‘ve walked about 39.5 miles in the past three weeks, but it wasn‘t charged for the first two days, so I‘m calling it that I‘ve logged 40 miles!

I‘m using this for #Booked2020 #liveandlearn since I knew nothing about Sherman‘s “march to the sea” beyond a reference in GWTW.

Susanita Yes the full book is 25 hours long. But worthwhile! 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Good job! That‘s a lots of steps and minutes listening! 5y

Walking Rain | Susan Wade

Only made it 1.5 miles before I had to get out of the rain. #litsybitsy #40miles20hours I guess something‘s better than nothing.

Walkabout | James Vance Marshall

Old pic but I did walk yesterday and listened to Sleeper‘s Castle by Barbara Erskine. No such luck today. It snowed last night 😠 it‘s cold, wet and pretty miserable so I‘ll have to content myself with some reading. 😉

4.4 miles and about 20 mins audio.

mcctrish I walked yesterday too but no pics to prove it and I have woken to snow flying about 2 days in a row. It doesn‘t stay but my magnolia tree has been hit with frost so it‘s horrid looking 😫 5y

Cuilin @mcctrish I hear you, snow in May is so cruel!! Luckily I love to curl up with a blanket and books. Though I‘ll have to do something physical. Maybe audioyoga? Could that be a thing? 🤔 5y

Conjure Women: A Novel | Afia Atakora

Finally posting for my final on #40miles20hours! Yesterday I rode 23 miles, which put me at 47.2, and I continued today, for another 18, so THANK YOU.

Ready to rock for #NutsInMay, and will be keeping Amanda, Andrew, and “Les” posted. Goal is to get back to reading 100 pages a day. Was about 130 before May, but I have some other goals, now that you have me shaking my booty again!

wanderinglynn, DieAReader, Andrew65, KristenDuck, Lesanne

wanderinglynn 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Congrats! 🎉🥳 5y

Andrew65 Well done, I‘ve struggled this week and only done 6 miles this week! Well done 👏👏👏🙌 5y

GHABI4ROSES Thank you! I maintain that I cheated. 5y

See All 23 Comments

Lesanne Good job!! 🎉🍾 5y

GHABI4ROSES Well, I am proud of YOU all. 5y

DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES Great job!!! 👏 I am looking forward to #NutsInMay as well as our buddy read!! I hope you're ready for some major sprint action? 📖 🎧 📚 🎵 5y

Andrew65 Not see a post from you in a few days. Hope all is well. 🥰 5y

GHABI4ROSES @andrew65 you are so kind and attentive and aware! Twice a year, I get completely overwhelmed by the device and shut down; I need to work on signaling before I go barreling off the metaphorical road! How are YOU? What is the latest with your schools there? PLEASE use our #24B4MONDAY to refresh, renew, and restore! 5y

Andrew65 Got my MRI test in the morning so that is causing some anxieties. We are going against the Government and not reopening on Monday. Overall supported by parents. Hoping to hide in the reading this weekend apart from the MRI. Great to see you have recharged and that you are back. 5y

GHABI4ROSES @Andrew65 1. Thank you on celebrating my Recharge with me; 2. Excellent on garnering that level of parent support, as it is the families who make or break us in education, not the government; 3. MRI?! 5y

Andrew65 @GHABI4ROSES They‘ve been check on my liver due to some anomalies and pains. Vast majority of parents are agreeing with the decision, in fact relieved that they don‘t have to make the decision whether to send them back or not. 5y

GHABI4ROSES Yes, @Andrew65 for decisions like that we want to be led! I had a liver scare in 2014, praying clarity and divine healing over you. 5y

Andrew65 @GHABI4ROSES Thanks 🤞🤞🤞 5y

GHABI4ROSES How is that liver @Andrew65 5y

Andrew65 @GHABI4ROSES Still waiting on the outcome of an MRI. CT scan showed some lesions on liver which think might be result of cysts but want to check. Also sone issues on stomach changes which want to check again in 4 months. 5y

GHABI4ROSES @andrew65 so this week‘s theme is the stomach, it appears 😳 5y

Andrew65 @GHABI4ROSES Fed up with it all to be honest as nothing seems to take it forward and just more reasons to worry. Hospitals are so impersonal, they may be dealing with it all the time, but we aren‘t and it is our body and our life! (edited) 5y

GHABI4ROSES True, @Andrew65 there are lines of work when the professional forgets the client or patient‘s distress. Just had a heated exchange with my work partner on that this week, with respect to that case that got me this stressed for the past two weeks. 5y

Andrew65 @GHABI4ROSES I need to find time to contact the hospital on Monday, but ignorance is bliss. 😬 5y

GHABI4ROSES @Andrew65 indeed on ignorance, but you know better😉 5y

Andrew65 @GHABI4ROSES Yes, will be contacting tomorrow. 5y

GHABI4ROSES 🙏🏾 🙏🏾 @Andrew65 (edited) 5y
