Oops… so much for being consistent on checking in with my goals!<\/p>\n
Read 12 books with a variety of topics, genres, and styles<\/strong>. I did finish\u00a0reading\u00a0The Winner\u2019s Manual<\/a>\u00a0by Jim Tressel back in May. It was really odd timing because that is basically when the scandal broke\u00a0completely\u00a0open and it was hard to appreciate his book in the middle of that. \u00a0In no particular order I also read To Be a Runner<\/a> by Martin Dugard, an excellent and easy read that I plan on reviewing sometime soon. After finishing the rather large volume called Spain in Mind<\/a> (basically short exceprts from books, poetry, and other writings about Spain) I read Snowball Oranges, One Mallorcan Winter<\/a> written by Peter Kerr. Ain’t No Sunshine<\/a> was listed as one of the top downloads for Kindle and was free so I grabbed it. \u00a0A very odd read for sure. \u00a0You can check out the whole list of books I’ve read so far at Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n Complete a Triathlon\u00a0Square Lake<\/a>\u00a0Short Course, September 10. 0.5 Mile Swim 16.5 Mile Bike 5 Mile Run.\u00a0<\/strong>Training has been going really well. \u00a0With about 6 weeks to go I’ve successfully completed each distance individually and have done Bike\/Run (brick) workouts of fairly comparable distances. \u00a0A longer bike with shorter run and a shorter bike with a longer run. \u00a0I’ve also been able to exceed the .5 mile swim in one sitting so I’m feeling pretty confident.<\/p>\n Finish this\u00a0YouVersion<\/a>\u00a0devotional plan<\/strong>\u00a0(Bible Study). \u00a0This has been pretty easy to manage, I\u00a0occasionally\u00a0miss a day here and there, but catch up on the next day.<\/p>\n Make a substantial change to one of my programs at work.<\/strong>\u00a0Completed.<\/p>\n Blog Regularly<\/strong>\u00a0Obviously not too well if I’ve missed 2 months of checking in, but I feel like I’m doing fairly well at getting at least one post up a week.<\/p>\n Learn how to use my digital camera and experiment with its features.\u00a0<\/strong>In the last few months I’ve done nothing in this regard. Sad.<\/p>\n Curing Plantar Fasciitis<\/a>, was the\u00a0most viewed post<\/strong>\u00a0again. The order didn\u2019t change: number two was\u00a0Treating Plantar Fasciitis<\/a>, and a close third was\u00a0Twin Cities Running Stores<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Oops… so much for being consistent on checking in with my goals!
