My summer goal of reading 10 books was achieved! A lot of these books were quick reads (I'm a slow reader) but at least I did what I set out to do. I actually think I have a few other books I could list, but the titles escape me and obviously they don't stand out in my mind. Here is my list. Now I must walk 5 miles in the next three days to make my other goal (walk 200 miles Jan-Sept). After Sept 1 I will have to think about my goals for the end of the year. I know one is to walk 100 more miles (or more!) and maybe read at least one book a month....Martha Beck Course, PTA, coaching soccer and general life maintenance will probably get in the way of reading much more than that.

That is awesome. Congratulations. I am lucky to get one book a season, I am so tired at night which is when I love to read. I like your idea about setting these goals. I think I might join you in the 100 miles this fall goal.
