Team Shine remain in the lead, but the lead is shrinking. So…in addition to the 3 points for getting to the workout in Brownwood Park at 6:15, there’s a chance for an extra 1 point for doing a bonus Wednesday challenge.
Start the day with 5 sun salutations. Then the challenge:
Pick up a book. It can be one you’re already reading, or one you’ve been meaning to start. It can be short stories, poetry, or a novel. Nonfiction is OK too, but try a little fiction if you can. Legal briefs, journal articles, and Huff Post do not count for this challenge. Then clear out 15 minutes in your day, put your phone in the other room, and read the hell out of that book. Post in comments the book and confirm the number of minutes you read without distraction. There is no judgment about what you read, just a nice, shiny, extra point for your team.

Surprisingly I stayed focused the entire 15 minutes. I’m reading The Book of Unknown Americans by Christina Henriquez.

The Red Tent is my go-to book. I might have parts of it memorized, but whenever I want to get lost in a world of women who focus on the bond they share, their bodies, and food… that’s where I go. Thanks for this challenge!

I’m still on my memoir kick. Spent part of my lunch hour reading Tomboy by Liz Prince.

I get 40 min of reading in on my bus commute everyday. Pema Chodron’s living beautifully with uncertainty and change is what I’m reading now.

Reading Pema Chodron is kinda like getting a hug in book form 🙂

Reading Lila by Marilynne Robinson tonight. Don’t know how many minutes because I read before falling asleep, but I’m pretty sure it will be for more than 15 minutes?

I’m stealing all these great books and adding them to my kindle! I downloaded a *free book* on kindle and read 30 minutes of a paranormal witch romance.
