Notes:
- My new reading habit is interrupting my running – I spend free time I would have spent running reading instead! I know, I know – audio books. But then when would I listen to my podcasts?!
- I’m getting an itch to do longer runs. Maybe I’ll train for a spring half or full marathon over the winter (fall won’t be much of an option with our garage construction going on!).
- We both got colds this week – Steven’s started on Wednesday and mine on Friday. I rested all day Sunday, and took today off too, and won’t run tomorrow. I hope I feel better tomorrow – I have to go to the city for a client meeting!
Hope you’re both feeling better soon!
Thanks! I finally am today!
Hope you both feel better soon! The best reading/running combo came up for me when I accidentally got both the audio book and ebook from the library. But then I learned you could seamlessly switch between the two! So I could read, when it was time for my run switch to the audio book and it picked up in the right place, and then when I got back and cleaned up, switch back to the ebook, again in just the right place. Of course, it’s rare that they’re both available together.
I was thinking about doing that! I often see the audio book and the digital book available here. How do you make the switch seamless though? They link up somehow?
What program does your library use? Mine uses Libby and allows you to download the books in kindle if you want. I always do that as I like the reading experience better there than directly through Libby. So because both books are in kindle/audible, they link up automatically through Amazon.
Ours uses Libby too! And I always read them on my Kindle. I haven’t tried an audiobook yet. That makes sense that Amazon would link them!
