(Tank, shorts, shoes)
Did you know that sometimes 10 miles on the treadmill can go by really fast when you remind yourself every mile that your face isn’t frozen and you haven’t nearly slipped 15 times?
Did you know that every now and then, Beck will wake up for the day close to NOON… he must be having a growth spurt.
Did you know that Beck is the best errand buddy?
Did you know this was a very interesting read/listen… I can’t even imagine being married to someone like Elvis…
Did you know this is a really good thriller? I was in the mood for one, and this one was everything I wanted with all sorts of twists. The voices of the different characters were perfect!
Did you know that this bread from Costco is incredible, and it only has 3 ingredients (plus water)?
Did you know that my children don’t have the nerve cells that feel temperatures… at least that is my guess because I can’t think of an explanation for how they are able to stay out in the snow for hours on end.
Did you know that Knox reminds me of Andrew so much?
Did you know that this Slow Cooker Crack Chicken Soup is ridiculously good and easy to throw together?
Did you know that the world record for the longest plank is 9 hours and 38 minutes?
Did you know where the name ‘LEGO’ came from (my kids wanted me to share this one because they are lego obsessed)?
Did you know that we will be in Madrid for my birthday… I NEED ANY AND ALL RECOMMENDATIONS! What I’m searching on Google:
—————————————————————————————–Have any DID YOU KNOW facts for us?If you were getting paid 1,000 a minute for holding a plank… how long do you think you would be able to hold it for?Those of you who listen to books, have any good ones lately?
I’m not listening to the book but I am currently reading Demon Copperfield….sooooo good! I hate to put it down to sleep. A friend of mine listened to it and loved the audio. The author wrote Poisonwood Bible.
Wahoo for finding sourdough! I am very impressed with the only 3 ingredients for store bought!
I keep waking up to more snow this week. Last night I was cruising at an 11:43 minute pace across the icy bridge. It’s amazing how stable runners can be in the winter. ….now watch me fall on my next run.
I just started to read Boys in the Boat. It’s really good so far!
Right?! I’m kind of confused about it’s shelf life with so little ingredients. Icy bridges are my worst nightmare. I stop and walk. Off to read the summary, thank youuuuuuuuu. Happy Thursday, Molly!
I read many of the books you post, and love them. For listening, I have to recommend Daisy jones and the six and beartown are great on audiobooks! Also if you are in the mood for something really gritty with a Boston accent , Small Mercies! The narrators just makes these books.
That makes me SO happy! And you just solved my dilemma… I have picked up Beartown so many times because I want the story (I loved Anxious People) but just didn’t know if I would want to read it… I didn’t think about listening to it. Downloading it as we speak! Adding Small Mercies too! Oh and I loved Daisy Jones. Have a great day and thanks for the help, Shannon!
Audiobooks:
The Eyes and the Impossible (read by Ethan Hawke)

It. Goes. So. Fast. by Mary Louise Kelly
Homecoming by Kate Morton
The Girl Who Drank the Moon and The Ogress and the Orphans by Kelly Barnhill
A Place to Hang the Moon by Kate Albus
Will stop there. Love sharing book recs. A lot of these are juvenile fiction as I listen to them without headphones when I’m making dinner; I worry about listening to adult books sometimes because my kids are always wandering through the kitchen…haha!
You are truly the best for giving me this list. I love a good juvenile fiction, so this is perfect; checking them all out, and I hope your day is a great one. Thanks, Lyn!
Wow on that plank! I once held a plank for 7 minutes. I could never come close to that now…too many upper body aches and pains. Have a great day Janae!
I could maybe make it to 2-3 minutes if I was getting paid.
Currently I am listening to Magic Hour by Kristen Hannah, it has me sucked in so far. My husband is listening to The Life We Bury by Allen Eskens, and he is really liking it (and he is a hard sell on anything fictional.)
A few others:
Wish You Where Here, Jodi Picoult
What Happened to the Bennetts, Lisa Scottoline
I’ve been wanting to read that one so bad… but I will have to wait until Skye is older (she is SIX right now). Let me know what you think of it in the end. Putting your other two and your husband’s book on my list. THANK YOU! Have a great day, Mindy!
Madrid for your birthday!!! Go to a flamenco show! We ate here and enjoyed it https://www.lolasimola.com/?utm_source=restaurantguru&utm_medium=referral
If you want trendy, Ten Con Ten is delicious. Are you all going? There is an amazing park in the city that’s huge and you can rent a paddle boat. Madrid is sooo easy and delicious!
Maestro Churrero in Madrid for churros and hot chocolate – you NEED these in your life. We may have stopped here multiple times in one day ;)
And if you are traveling with anyone who is gluten free, they have gluten free churros that are actually good!

I just finished reading “Running for my Life” by Lopez Lomong and learned that Jenga is Swahili for “build”!
The Hungry Runner Girl
Just read the summary and I’m putting it on my list! Thank you and I can’t wait to tell my kids what Jenga means:)

You need to have churros with chocolate while in Madrid!
The Hungry Runner Girl
I think I will have to have them a few times a day! I can’t wait. Have the best day, Melissa!

I really liked Tom Lake! Easy and pleasant read. I read it in Chicago for the marathon weekend.
I’m reading Girlfriend on Mars by Deborah Willis, TBD but so far it’s a really interesting and funny book!
