getting my groove

I don't love to work out and will usually find any excuse not to but I have really been stepping it up the last 2 weeks.  And today.............dare I even say...I looked forward to going to the Y.  I finally figured out that I can almost comfortably read while I am on the elliptical machine.  So now, even if there is nothing  good on tv, which lately has been the case while I am working out, now I can read!!  Woo hoo.  I don't know why this was such a break through for me today but it was and now I think I am really going to enjoy my 40 minutes of uninterrupted reading.  I haven't had that since Jack was born. :)  Oh and because the weather has been colder and my boys are going all wwf on eachother they are actually liking the playroom at the Y.  It is nice for them to have "new" toys to play with or be rough with for a little while.  Oh and I just started a book that I can't believe I haven't read yet.  No one told me how good this was.  I mean I guess I should have gathered that from all of it's time on the New York Times bestseller list and all but I guess I am a little behind.  I might be the last one to pick up this book:

I am only on page 24 and so into it already that I am really looking forward to getting back to the Y again tomorrow for some more reading oops I mean working out.   Has anyone else read this book?  Did you love it?  Does anyone else like to read while they work out?
