Reading Slump and Running

I have been in a reading slump for about 2 months now. I started Deadlocked in June... I still have about 100 pages left to go, which isn't much but this is a book that I could have had done in a week at most. Last year on Good Reads I reached my goal of 25 books for the year. I was going to aim for 40 this year, but I've only read 6. I am 47% behind!

I've also got this book patiently waiting for me too. Anyone else excited for City of Bones to come out next Wednesday!? I AM!

Back in January I got into the habit of running 5 days a week on the treadmill, but then there were plans of moving and there was packing and I just kind of lost the motivation and running lasted about 2 months. I wish I had kept up because now it's really hard to motivate myself to do it again. Especially since I no longer have a treadmill, I have to run outdoors. Which I always thought would be fun, but I kind of hate it? I miss the treadmill!!

And knowing that the houses I run by and the people that drive by have me feeling like this picture. Well, I should always feel like this because it's probably true... at least for a beginner haha. 

This will definitely motivate me! But seriously! I am going to do it right now!! As a warm up I am going to walk to the post office and get the mail. I guess I'll have to start the same way I did before - walk 2 minutes and run 1 repeat 10 times. I can do this. 

Laters,
