Music, Books, Miles, and Looks of May

Music:



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.
