Polar Running

So, I took a little break from running while John and I were in Georgia to let my shins heal. I decided to break my running fast today even though:
1) I woke up dismally late because I have not been making a very serious effort to adjust back to England time
2) The weather widget on my home page said that it was snowing outside
and 3) In spite of my disbelief that it could possibly be snowing, when I looked out my window I did, in fact, see snow.



















Okay, it doesn't look like much, but it's the principle of the thing. It has to be pretty cold to snow.

Anyway, I went running. I've lost some of the ground I had gained before the trip home so I only made it two miles instead of three. And I think the only reason I made it that far was that I was afraid if I stopped running too far from home I would freeze.

I'm still looking for another good audiobook/podiobook to listen to. I downloaded one called Dark Matter that was read in a very boring voice and had, okay only one, grammar mistake in the first chapter, but come on.
This morning I downloaded Arthur Conan Doyle's Lost World, thinking "what could go wrong?" It is read by a computer. I'm not even joking.

It looks like I need to install some things on my computer to download books from the Georgia Download Destination, but, don't worry, I'm on it.

Ahem. So, if you have any audiobook recomendations for me, please leave them in comments.

Oh yeah, there is also one more book review on my other blog. Not a British book. I bought it while I was at home because I'm ever-so-slightly a John Green fangirl.

your dedication to excerise is impressive and depressive (for us 5 toed sloths).

I'm still listening to Inkspell, read by Brandon Fraser.
He is no Lynn Redgrave, but he'll do as a reader.

Try The Calder Game also...the English village (weird) and Alexander Calder sculpture donation.

Love and much enjoyed our lunch,
Jackie
