I was late to the party listening to Serial, but now I am hooked on story-type podcasts. Since a lot of you may be going on vacation soon–and facing long car rides or flights before you get to your destination–I thought it would be a good time to share my favorite enthralling podcasts that will help the miles fly by.
I’ve also started listening to podcasts on my long runs. I get lost in the story and distracted from the summer heat and humidity!
Happy Father’s Day! While I will be missing my Dad, I will enjoy spending time with the wonderful father in my life–my husband! It’s an extra-special Father’s Day around here because my daughter is visiting from Colorado.

Now that it’s the first weekend of June, I can look back and see what I accomplished in May. According to Garmin Connect, my May miles totaled 242 and burned 9400 calories. How many brownies is that?
The hashed blue bars show the days I didn’t reach my step goal. I’m actually doing better at reaching my step goal on non-running days, which is good because I have so few running days!
