Snoqualmie Valley 10k Training Update

May was a weird month, somehow it's already mid-June, and given that the Snoqualmie Valley 10k is now a week away, I really wish the last few weeks had gone differently.

What I read this month: May 2025

This month I read some really great books. I purposely chose literary fiction this month because I've been thinking about reading like a writer; reading pulpy romance or mystery is fine, but it doesn't offer me much in the way of instruction. I wanted to read some stuff that would get my brain percolating. 

I was mostly offline the last week of the month because of the cruise, during which time I managed to read two books, bringing this month's total to four and doubling my yearly total.

Read this month: 4

Read this year: 8

Running from Gluten 10k

I'd like to start this race recap by noting that we had mild, sunny weather all week, and I was worried race day would be hot. Silly me. Race day was a lovely 55 degrees, with 92% humidity and constant rain!

That's what I get for worrying.
