Weekly Wins: A look back at the last week and what made it a good one:

1. My obsession of last week was Orange is the New Black. MM & I watched all of Season 1 and it was Oh-So-Good. If you haven’t jumped on the bandwagon-get on it! After the first episode I thought “ok this show is fine but I don’t get the hype.” Then I kept watching and was totally sucked in. Think I want to read the book (show is based on a true story).

2. Speaking of books, I finished Born to Run and I really enjoyed it. It starts out a bit slow but stick with it, it picks up and is a very interesting story. If you’re a runner, read it. If you’re not, probably shouldn’t bother.

3. And the next book up for me is Z a novel about Zelda Fitzgerald. Only just started so not much to say this.

4. Last week really got into Sara Bareilles’ new album when I needed some tunes to get me through the work day.

5. And finally, enjoyed a nice relaxing weekend at the beach. I had one more run to finish out week 6 of marathon training so I saved it for a beach front run. I know beach running is harder than regular running but MAN this one was extra hard. My pace was crazy slow and I kept sinking into the sand. A serious challenge for sure. Today calls for very sore calves.
