#readingeveryday

Wow - where has the time gone?! I’m half way through the time since my holiday - I start my new job 4 weeks on Monday. My time is becoming increasingly precious!

How are my challenges coming along - well, I ran the 10k race in 1:12, which is ok but I wouldn’t say I was yet at ‘10k fitness’ so I’m KOKO and enjoying it. Working on pace and distance until 10k is comfortable rather than a stretch - hoping I can get there by a months time.

Weight wise I have still only dropped a couple of kilos but I’m two holes down on my belt (I wish I’d measured) and fat% down by about 6.5% so It’s heading the right way even if the kg aren’t dropping yet.

I’m managing more yoga than I was but I’m struggling to find the time (??!!) somehow - can’t fathom that one myself.

The house is getting there but it’s a slow progress now - I have had too many lunch and coffee dates. Today is my blitz before phase 3 day and I’m sat online having had a nice run and lazy breakfast. Procrastination, thy name is Sarah!

I’ve read a few books now - none have inspired my like A year of Less did, but here they are:

Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us by Seth Godin (3/5)

Powerful:Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility by Patty McCord (4/5)

A Whole New Mind by Daniel Pink (2.5/5) 

Half way through Conversational Intelligence by Judith E Glasser

So - as tempus is fugiting I’m going to Carpe the fucking diem out of the rest of the day. 

Learning, entertainment, and gaining a better knowledge of something are all important reasons to read. Gaining a deeper understanding of a work, enhancing reading comprehension, growing your vocabulary, and developing your own writing skills are just a few of the advantages of reading.

Throughout my placement, the importance of reading was instilled in the students. The students would begin the school day with 15 minutes of independent reading. In reading groups, one group would always be doing guided reading with the teacher.

The students were encouraged to borrow as many books as they wanted during the class’ designated library time. The teacher always ended the day by reading a picture book chosen by the class.

When I was growing up, I always known to my teachers, friends and family as the girl with her head stuck in a book. I would always carry around a book wherever I went and to this day, I still do that. In my future teaching, I hope to inspire a love of reading with students!
