10,000 Stones by Adrianne - I found this thanks to Pandora. I love the sound of her voice.
Phonebooth by Maroon 5 - I think this song has a catchy beat. I will probably buy it for my running play list!
Books:
It was a slower reading month for me, mostly due to the crazy number of hours I studied this month - over 100!!
The Imperfectionist by Tom Rachman - This book is a collection of short stories about the various people who work for a newspaper in Rome. I usually do not like short stories, but these were all related, so I really liked it!
The Year of Fog by Michelle Richmond - This was a haunting book about the disappearance of a child. It was a fast, engaging read, but definitely a heavier read.
Room by Emma Donoghue - After having multiple people recommend this to me, I finally got around to reading it. I read in in the span of about 5 days, which is a testament to how good of a book it is. It's told from the perspective of a 5 year old who has been locked in an 11 x 11 room with his mom his entire life (his mom was abducted). It is really disturbing at times, but definitely worth reading.
Miles:
I had another strong month of running. I ran a total of 89 miles. I expect that number to be over 100 next month as I will be able to do all the run club workouts now! I feel good about the base I have built coming into marathon training season. I have some work to do, but at least I am in decent shape.
Looks:
I really did not wear much that could be considered 'notable' this month. The only outfit that really stands out in my mind was the business suit I wore when I presented at that conference in Denver. I usually hate business suits, but I actually really like this one! It's navy, so a little different from your typical black or gray suit. I got it from Banana Republic, which is my go to place for business suits.

You look fantastic in that suit! I'm glad you had such a strong month of running. I have mostly just done short, easy runs since I've been in Madrid, but I think I'm ready to start trying to get back to slightly higher mileage soon.
I love Maroon 5! Good job keeping up with the running, I would imagine that has been especially important with all of this running! Maybe I never to give Room a try again... ah! How is it possible I don't like a book that everyone likes?!
Lots of running, reading and studying. Looks like another strong month for you...bet you are so glad the studying is almost over!!
you are adorable! i want tobe you when i grow up! ;)
That suit looks so good on you! I am not a fan of suits on myself (I can't stand constricting clothes!). You look like Mega-Business Woman. :)
Power suit! Beautiful!
I like these monthly posts. Very interesting.
I love that Payphone song! That will be a great one to add to a running playlist.
Glad you liked Room! It was one of those books that I just could NOT put down!
I loved the book the Room. Definitely very disturbing at times, but a good read overall. Love your suit! I don't have a reason to wear one for work, so I don't own one. But love yours!
I love that suit! You look so good in it!
I haven't read Room yet, it's on my list though
For the record, I think 90% of my new music in the last 2 years has come from your monthly round up.
I think it's great how well you kept up with running through these studying months. As someone else mentioned I'm sure that really helped you clear your head!
I love that navy business suit. It looks so good on you!
I liked Room as well. I can't believe that even with all the studying and working and traveling, you still managed to run and read so much! I know I have said that before, but when you list it out, it reminds me again! I love that suit! I think I saw it when I was there, but it's definitely a classic.
Only a few more days! Woo hip, as you like to say!
Suit is awesome! I love it! The book "The Room" sounds intrigueing! I may have to read it! Saturday is a-coming and you will be free to run your heart out!
Room was one of my favorite reads last year! If you liked it, you should check out a novel called 'Land of Decoration' which is told from the perspective of a 5 or 6 year old little girl. Apparently it's amazing!
Im glad you liked Room, although I knew you would! I love that suit too, and your hear looks awesome in that picture!
I love the song too, it has a deep meaning that a lot of us can relate with.
You look exceedingly professional -- great suit!
Very professional looking!
Love your hair in that photo!
