And, just to help other authors, here's more details about the scam: they said my recently-published e-book had been shortlisted for a book of the month pick by NoNameBooks.com which IS a legitimate organization - but the person who emailed me is probably not part of it.

I did this yesterday. After being in PT since April, it was definitely a challenge. About half of it was walking, so don't take the pace too seriously. This was at the Star K Ranch in Aurora, Colorado (yes, *that* Aurora) - a gorgeous place for a race. #running

Finished my step challenge for August with 7 hours to spare! And what did I immediately do? Yes: signed up for another one in September. The problem is there is one less day next month, so I'm going to have to stay on top of my step count a little better this time.

Made it with 4 hours to spare! That was a lot of step the last two days...I'm cooked.

I logged a lot of steps today between my run, warm-up & cool-down walks, and just general walking around the house. Aiming for a Garmin badge of 300,000 steps in July, which means I have to do about the same tomorrow. If I'd kept my tracker on more often, I bet I'd see I've already reached 300K!

Ugh. Just got this email from Medicare with advice from a "doctor" who really should not be allowed to practice. This is worse than the social security email of a few weeks ago since this guy gives medical "advice" that is dangerous. Exactly what you'd expect from this administration, though.

Wow - lots of hail in Central Park!

I started mine today. Someone gave me this fancy notebook as a gift and I've never felt comfortable putting my own little words in it...but Jane Kenyon's (Let Evening Come) will do just fine.

...that were all started in NaNoWriMo plus 2 others novels and a novella in progress, hopefully to be finished one day. I plan to spend this November the same way, adding to my total word count (> a half million!) with another novel I've already started planning. Maybe some of you will join me?

My husband is at the grocery store and just texted me this photo - the most beautiful vegetable in the world: Romanesco Broccoli, a natural fractal.

Things might be going to sh*t and the temperature here might not have gotten above 10F, but I'm pleased to say I went out for a run and it was GREAT. A little bit of snow slowed me down a tad. Cold but sunny and it felt SO good. Can highly recommend if you want to improve your mood. #running

I've always had a personal rule to not run outside if the temperature is below 10 (F) or above 90...looks like I may have to get out there in a few minutes. 🥶

I hope this is not just the result of new-years-resolution-mania, but I'm going to try these dry-erase calendar planning sheets this year. I have 6 (six!) major projects going on and I'm thinking color-coding the target dates might keep me more sane. 🤞 #amwriting

First race of the year! We woke up to 14 degrees (F) and freezing fog, but it was so beautiful out along the South Platte River. I'm a slow runner, but this is actually a really good pace for me. Kept a lot warmer by continuing to move! #running

I shared this victory with my running peeps, but will share it with all of you too. I did a 5.5 mile run today, which brought me to my goal of 600 miles for the year. Back in February when I got covid I didn't think this would happen. Grateful to be able to breath again! #running

Still #thankfullyreading this weekend. I'm about halfway through Alexander McCall-Smith's book "A Conspiracy of Friends." Next up is Martha Wells' "All Systems Red," the first in her Murderbot series. What are you reading this weekend?
