Currently reading/listening

Being a 'big' runner and no longer living near my old college running buddies, sometimes I lose sight of the beauty of silence and solitude of every run. Every. Single. Day. Yes, I'm saying it gets monotonous. Sometimes I wish I had a friend to go out with me. To talk. To be interesting.

But I don't here in this city.

My friends are largely not the running type that I am. (or they have 4 children under the age of 3 and running is an after thought. Not a priority or social event.)

Enter the Audio Book and its little sibling the Podcast.

They are lovely. Really.

I am currently listening to to American Wife, by Curtis Sittenfeld. Thankfully this book, recommended by my friends at NPR (see Terry Gross' Fresh Air Interview with Sittenfeld).

(The "Top Podcast List" is TBA.)

19 discs long. That's a lot of running enjoyment. Even makes me look forward to going out on these cold, gray Ohio days!

With that I'm going to go don my spandex. It's that time. I've puttzed around enough on this Saturday, eaten enough Pillsbury cinnamon rolls in bed with my husband (while watching various TV shows on our computer---What a grand morning!! Once in a blue, med school moon! Love those planned, lazy Saturday mornings!), and haven't yet stepped outside. Yikes-a. Time for a run!
