The Sunday Salon

The Sunday Salon.com

I enjoy being able to take time on Sundays to curl up with a good book or two. Today I am going to begin reading two books for future review:

The Puzzle King by Betsy Carter (for a review), 344 pages.
Casting Off by Nicole R. Dickson (for a review) 373 pages.

I am now into my third week of attempting to fit Outlander into my reading schedule. Wish me luck! Happy Reading and please feel free to leave comments or suggestions.

All are welcome to join The Sunday Salon.

Running-Quoatable Sunday

All three of my sons are cross country runners and they chose the theme for today: Running.

Jogging is very beneficial. It’s good for your legs and your feet. It’s also very good for the ground. It makes it feel needed.”
~ Charles Schulz

If God invented marathons to keep people from doing anything more stupid, the triathlon must have taken Him completely by surprise.”
~ P.Z. Pearce

You don’t run against a bloody stop watch, do you hear? A runner runs against himself, against the best that’s in him. Not against a dead thing of wheels and pulleys. That’s the way to be great, running against yourself. Against all the rotten mess in the world. Against God, if you’re good enough.”
~ Bill Persons

The only reason I would take up jogging is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.”
~ Erma Bombeck

Everyone who has run knows that its most important value is in removing tension and allowing a release from whatever other cares the day may bring.”
~ Jimmy Carter

I don’t think jogging is healthy, especially morning jogging. If morning joggers knew how tempting they looked to morning motorists, they would stay home and do sit-ups.”
~ Rita Rudner

Runners just do it – they run for the finish line even if someone else has reached it first.”
~ Unknown

The quote chosen by all three as a favourite quote:
There are as many reasons for running as there are days in the year, years in my life. But mostly I run because I am an animal and a child, an artist and a saint. So, too, are you. Find your own play, your own self-renewing compulsion, and you will become the person you are meant to be.”
~ George Sheehan
