Want A Reading Sprint?
No, read it many times. First time in the past 4 years but have probably read it about 12 times.....
Wow good job everyone! So many pages. We will be at 1 million before we know it!
Ok, i'm stopping for the night. My head is starting to hurt (allergies I'm thinking) and I'm going to go lay down and watch the rest of the Michigan/Notre Dame football game!Thanks for the great sprints Ladies!

One of these days I am going to see this BEFORE you guys sprint. How come I don't see these? I miss so many posts. I must be doing something wrong. Who me? Nah, couldn't be! lOL
I am terribly behind in a buddy read. Anybody want a sprint?We HAVE to catch Vicki on one today!

I love one Jacq. 8:35 or 8:40 - 20 minutes?
8:40 for twenty- even thirty if that's okay. Sound great!
Are you feeling better, Becky?
Well I was but now I'm sneezing like crazy and my heads starting to hurt again and now I can't take any meds cuz i took them before bed last night. ARGH!Anyway, 8:40 lets do 30 if you don't mind!
oh no! I hope you start feeling better soon! And okay! See you in 30!
Oh darn! I had to eat breakfast and now have to go to my grandparents. I only read 17 pages!I am sorry!
LOL. don't be sorry! Have a great day! I got 40 pages read so it really helped me!

Kathryn wrote: "Anyone for a sprint?"Well we aren't sure if my grandmother is home so we have to wait and see. I won't commit to one now since I may have to leave. :/ I definitely will later though!
Does anyone want to do a sprint?
Angela, YES! I haven't caught a sprint yet! I just got home from church and I am all alone so I can concentrate!
LOL Kathryn. You can join Vicki and me! (:
Angela (and I think Kathryn, mi amiga) I am open! I can start at 1:30 which is in about 15 minutes or I can wait until 2:00 or whenever is good. This will be my very first sprint!!! :o)
I figured as much. LOL I do want to wait for Angela. What is the actual purpose of the sprint? We aren't in competition, right?
since I am here on time for one I will join in this one as well still working on
Okay, if we don't hear from Angela we'll start in like 2 minutes and go for 15. I can sprint with her, too.
Sorry, the internet wouldn't connect. ><
I'm in on the next one. I fell asleep in my chair and I just work up 1.5 hrs later, lol. I obviously needed some sleep! LOL!I'll try to keep watch!
My distraction was looking at the clock. LOL I was "afraid" I'd go over a couple minutes, but Kathryn and I posted at the same time...cool. Angela, did you make it with us?
Emily, good job! Fun, huh?
Becky, that is my BIGGEST problem...sit down, fall asleep, or should I say doze off? LOL
Great job, everyone!
Vicki wrote: "15 pages :o)"What were you talking about? You read at an amazing pace! A page every minute!

Time does sneak up on me sometimes!
What is the purpose of the sprint? Just to see how fast we can read or because some of us need extra motivation?I'm ready for another one whenever someone else is. I'd like a 30 minute sprint. :o)

I did. (:
Yay! That was my first one! But I'm read for the second one. Problem is I don't want to sit here at the computer. LOL I want to just go read. Anyone up for a 30 minute sprint at 2:00, which is in 5 minutes? I'm going to start at 2:00 and come back at 2:30 and see if anyone was able to join me. LOL
I will be back on the 30, Vicki! whatcha readin?

I think that's because when I read most of the time there is a TV in the background or my dog wants to go pee or someone texts me, etc. I read faster when I am completely alone and concentrating. That's why I love reading at a B&N. I am very easily distracted by noises...always have been. But thanks for the compliment.

I set my timer on my phone when I do these
Ok, so what time are we starting this 30 minute sprint? Cuz I definitely WANT IN!
Becky (Indiana) wrote: "Ok, so what time are we starting this 30 minute sprint? Cuz I definitely WANT IN!"I believe they started 3 minutes ago.
Ok then I'm hopping in for 25 minutes!
Ok I' missed the start, but I got 28 pages read in my 25 minutes. How'd you guys do?
LOL That was fun to try reading at the same pace as I did the 15 minute one but I didn't quite make it. I read only 24 pages in the 30 minutes this time.
