Reading will be done inside today. I love the see as well
I am back............................
I have tried so many times and so many ways to work out while reading but nothing works for me. I get dizzy or distracted. Maybe I should try a book holder...
I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

Hmm, maybe you should try not reading while doing a work out, it must be hard to follow with all that bounching around. I don't understand this western way of "working out" anyway, I'm against all that nonsense.
What do you consider the western way of working out? Though I am in agreement that I could never read while working out.
Drama - you're a runner. I suspect you're just pumping too fast to read while on a treamill. I can see if someone is walking, but it seems impossible to run and read.

I'm just generally knocking the idea of 'working out' as a concept. If you seek balance in your life, in what you eat and drink and commit exercise into your daily routine as a way of life, cycling, walking to work etc, then there should be no need to 'work out' as such. You know people are encouraged to buy cars instead of simply cycling or walking to work then they are sold the idea of joining a gym, it just seems a little crazy.

No matter what I have going on, I always have the time to devote to books. Currently unemployed and not in school, so I can read nearly all day... and even when I was in school, I'd cut class to go to the library or the thrifstore and read.
Naked except for a cigarette, you let your mind drift and forget your disbelief. Feel the chill down your back and the flutter of wings through dandelion fields, and forget the pull of gravity in a night without stars.
I lack eloquence and commitment to my arguments. They are half baked, and I will begin passionately, and then abandon them.
