posting last night.\u00a0 I was wiped out and actually went to bed to read and then I was asleep by 10pm.\u00a0 I&#8217;m currently reading a Dean Koontz book which is just okay.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a pretty light read and I imagine I&#8217;ll be done with it soon.\u00a0 I need more books! :p\u00a0 I don&#8217;t really dig on romance books or fluffy-bunny books.\u00a0 I like suspense, crime, drama, supernatural (but for the love of all that is holy not Twilight); got any suggestions for me?\u00a0 What are you reading right now?<\/p>\n<p>I got up this morning and kicked it for a four miler.\u00a0 It was rain-snowing this morning, but thankfully it wasn&#8217;t all that cold out so the run went pretty well.\u00a0 It was one of those runs where I definitely could have kept going but more miles was not in the cards today.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9977\" title=\"Coffee and oatbran \"
