Thanks so much. You’d think all the carbs I ate over the weekend would stockpile, but nooooo 🙄😅

A graphic with details from my run today such as: Distance: 6.5k Average pace: 6:44 /km 173bpm average heart rate

I spent 5 days eating pasta and gelato in Venice so it was tough to get back at it this morning. But got 6.5k in at easy pace to shake the cobwebs off 💪🏻🏃🏻‍♀️ #running #runsky

Happy Anniversary to my favorite person in the world. Thanks for making me belly-laugh everyday @gazamcnulty.bsky.social ❤️✨

Her hair is pulled back and up neatly, and she gazes calmly to the side with a thoughtful expression. Right: Modern paperback cover of Little Women by Louisa May Alcott (Signet Classics edition). Four young women in colorful 19th-century dresses and shawls stand arm-in-arm on a grassy hill, seen from behind, with the title in elegant blue lettering and "LOUISA MAY ALCOTT" in white at the bottom.

American novelist and poet Louisa May Alcott died #OTD in 1888.

Alcott’s most enduring work is the novel 𝘓𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘞𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯 (first published in 2 parts in 1868 & 1869). Never out of print, it has sold millions of copies worldwide in 50+ languages. #booksky #fiction #WomensHistoryMonth #WHM
