Fourth day of the week
Third (5k) run of the week
Ran uninterrupted / non-stop this time
First one with the new shoes — no soreness, super light, super comfortable, kept a good face in the entire time

Overall, very happy :)

A lovely summer weekend before the rain and the start of the ”rentrée”

A green park with tall trees is situated in front of a distinctive multi-story building. A person is holding two cans of Yeo's drinks, one lychee-flavored and the other soy bean, in front of a refrigerated display stocked with various beverages. A narrow street with modern, angular buildings on both sides and an arched structure at the end under a clear blue sky. A green iron bridge stretches over a canal beside modern buildings, with a mural and a café visible along the waterfront. A weathered brick wall features a wooden door and a street sign labeled ‘Rue de Crimée’ with a building in the background. A vibrant mural depicts a hand using chopsticks to pick up pieces of sushi, set against a graffiti-covered wall with barbed wire above. Two people wearing sunglasses are outdoors, with one pushing a stroller near wooden structures. A plate of fried appetizers with dipping sauce is set on a wooden table alongside glasses and someone preparing to eat with a knife and fork. A quiet street lined with classic European-style buildings basks in the bright sunlight under a clear blue sky. Urban landscape at sunset with buildings and trees against a colorful sky.

Honestly truly didn’t need a study to confirm this, but I guess it’s always good to have data to back up street-level facts…

A young man wearing earbuds reads a book while standing in a hallway with blurred people and posters in the background.

…The study did not answer the question of why Americans were reading less. But the authors suggested some possible explanations, including **increased use of social media **and other technology, or more time spent at work because of economic pressure.

The decline in reading could have implications for Americans’ learning, relationships and overall well-being, the researchers said.
“Even though reading is often thought of as more of an individual activity, when we read stories, we actually form connections with characters”
