I had been slacking on the currently posts lately, but I’m getting back into the groove of things. Last month we watched a few several shows, I traveled back to Minnesota, I continued training, and we went to a Halloween party!
BR: The Glass Castle, You’re Not That Great, and Dreamland
I didn’t have any photos of all the books. So, instead I’m featuring a photo of the snowstorm that I saw out of my window as I touched down in Minnesota last week. Not normal for the middle of October- but I made the most of it. Ok, now onto my latest reads…
Fall 2020 Virtual Race Recaps
Virtual races have done a mediocre job at keeping me active without our normal training group runs. I compiled a list of my 2020 virtual race recaps from this fall. Including opinions of the routes I selected, the swag and overall race management. Train on!
Currently: September 2020
It’s been WAY too long since I wrote a Currently post. But I can easily sum up April, May, June, July, and August– stayed home, cooked, read, and tried to stay active. If this year hasn’t been a doozy for you then you must live in a bubble, under a rock, on a different planet.…
Repairing Drywall After Installing Drain Tile
Remember when our crawlspace flooded? It was terrible, but the saving grace was that the finished part of the basement stayed dry. Until this year. We noticed a smell and then felt the water under our socks. Isn’t that the worst feeling ever? I do not recommend. So we folded back the carpet and did…
BR: The Silent Patient, Ghosted, Why We Sleep, American Dirt, and This is How it Always Is
A lot has changed since I posted my last book review. It’s suddenly fall here in Cincinnati, NFL season has started, and I’ve completed two of my fall virtual races. And I’ve read a few books and listened to a few audiobooks. It’s a good mix of modern day novels, a thriller, and book written…
Four New Summer Recipes
Ever since my cookbook shopping spree, I’ve continued to cook new and fun recipes. I’ve recorded four new summer recipes that I can highly recommended!
2020 Fall Virtual Races
Since basically all in-person races in 2020 have been cancelled, I’ve resolved to a bunch of fall virtual races. It’s good to have something to work toward, other than post-run donuts! Although they were definitely a motivating factor last weekend.
BR: White Fragility, Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk, The Turn of the Key, The Kind Worth Killing, And Nothing to Prove
I had great ambition to read several of these books last month. I only made it through one of these, but did finish four audiobooks!
Basic Home Gym Equipment
Other than when the crawl space flooded, I don’t think I’ve talked much about our basement. But now, I have all the basic home gym equipment set up! Gym closed? Bad weather? No more excuses for not working out!
