#WeekendReads {The Work In Progress Edition}

This week was all about me trying to get together a schedule so that I would be in sync with all aspects of life – family stuff, work, fitness, blogging. Are you a fan of having a routine, or are you more of the go-with-the-flow type?

Books Finished This Week: Double Dead, Chuck Wendig. Zombies + Vampires = a fast paced, fun book.

Currently Reading: Armada, Ernest Cline. This book is sure to delight video game lovers with all the gaming references. I’m not quite half-way through, but already I feel like I’m a bit sick of reading about playing video-games.

Zack tells himself, he knows the difference between fantasy and reality … And then he sees the flying saucer. Even stranger, the alien ship he’s staring at is straight out of the videogame he plays every night, a hugely popular online flight simulator called Armada—in which gamers just happen to be protecting the earth from alien invaders.”

#WeeklyWorkouts

Horrific week, as I only managed to do the remaining foundation classes from Crossfit. Running = 0 miles (grrr…). So, I’m setting weekly goals – next week, attend 3 Crossfit classes + running 15 miles total + register for a 5K in October.

What have you been up to this week?
