Day 1

This is such a neat assignment for me personally, because I love to blog.  I also love to read.  (LOVE IT)  I very rarely have time or make time for this activity, but I do read a daily devotional in an attempt to keep myself on track spiritually.  I have a list of books that I am looking forward to reading now that I have to for class. 

I am not a runner.  I have never been one that purposely ran for anything.  Unless someone was chasing me of course.  But I have a lot of friends that run.  In fact, several of them are currently training for the Wichita Marathon coming up in October.  Watching them follow their training schedules has been extremely interesting to me.  Some started from nothing.  Some have run before.  But each person has their own personal training schedule that they follow without fail. 

I have chosen to look at this assignment as my reading marathon.  I have always wanted to be more of a reader, but it takes time to make yourself disciplined enough to do it on a daily or weekly basis.  Life is crazy for our family.  We are very busy with school, sports and other activities.  I wish I could say that I read more than I do.  But the truth is...reading has been put on my back burner for quite sometime.  This assignment will allow me to "train" myself to read.  I feel that after I put myself on this schedule, reading will become a habit.  One that I won't want to break.  Reading allows your mind to escape the craziness of life.  I am welcoming this escape.  No doubt!

Have a great day!
