Another late weekend reading post, but I couldn’t help but spend extra time in the sunshine. The last two days have been those sunny yet mild early spring days that make me want to be outside.
I started running again. Right now, it’s more like jogging then walking, jogging than walking. I used to be able to run the 3½ mile loop around my neighborhood without stopping so it’s a new goal to be able to do that again. I have to mix up my fitness routine every few months or I get bored, so I’m back to running a few times a week, especially if it’s a sunny morning.
I had a great trip to Palm Springs! I walked through a few iconic hotels and drove around the famous neighborhood of mid century style houses with the painted doors. I like the dry desert atmosphere and I did a lot of meandering. It was a short but welcome getaway! Favorite links from the week:
