Treadmill Goals:
- Get on the treadmill (or equivalent exercise) daily
- Pace is fine at 30 min/mile, although I may up it on occasion
- Time range between 30 minutes and 1 hour per day
- Distance 1-2 miles per day
- Read the chosen book, which I won’t allow myself to read outside of my treadmill time, hopefully motivating me to reach or exceed the above goals (the only exception to this is Saturday nights, if I want to finish off a book so I can start a fresh one for the new week)
Note: Although I will try to avoid them, my daily #amreading updates may or may not contain spoilers, so read at your own risk.
What I #amreading: Pressure Head (The Plumber’s Mate Book 1) by J.L. Merrow
This old Samhain Series is about to be republished at Riptide over the first few months of next year, including a shiny new book 5, so I figured it’s time for a re-read of the first four books. This series is one of my top three favorites (don’t ask me to rank them, I’d have to consider them tied).
- SUNDAY – They’re both toms, although most people assume slim, sleek Merlin is a she. Personally, I think he’s gay. He’s always rubbing up against Arthur as if he’d like them to be more than just good friends. Fortunately Arthur’s too thick to notice. He’s a big ginger bruiser who’d probably flatten Merlin if he realized he fancied him. Not very metrosexual, old Arthur.
- MONDAY – “What do you want?” I was uncomfortably aware I’d been wearing this shirt yesterday. I had a clean T-shirt on underneath—I’m not a slob—but he still made me feel like something the cats had dragged in and then played with for a bit before losing interest and batting it under the sofa.
- TUESDAY – What did Southgate tell you about me?” he asked, his tone and expression neutral. I bet he practiced that sort of thing in front of a mirror.
- WEDNESDAY – Had he set this up? I sent him a suspicious look, but seeing it only reached the back of his head as he set off down the hill without waiting for an answer, I might as well have saved myself the bother.
- THURSDAY – She looked down her no doubt professionally sculpted little nose at Phil and me like we were something the cat had picked up on the mat.
- FRIDAY – “Er, right. We’ll see you around, then.” I managed not to wipe my palm on my jeans until after the front door had closed behind us.
- SATURDAY – “Cheers. Actually, mind if I use your loo? I’ve just come from a job.” Was lying to a vicar in his vicarage as bad as lying in church, or only as bad as any other lie? I’d have crossed my fingers, but I didn’t want Jesus thinking I was taking the mick.
