As someone who is extremely lazy and a master of procrastination I found this week’s Bookish Scene: Project 52 theme Aspirations very challenging and it took me quite a while to come up with an idea 😀

I’m not super ambitious when it comes to my professional career but love to be competitive at sports, so I decided to take a picture that represents this side of myself. For the past 4 years I’ve been running our local half-marathon every May and even though I’m always having a hard time bringing myself to train for it the idea of crossing the finish line and getting the medal is still quite a good motivation for me and it always feels great once I’ve achieved my goal.

I didn’t have to spend a long time deciding on a book for this picture because if you take a picture about running and have a book that screams „RUN“ in big fat red letters from the book cover then the choice is quite obvious, right? ;D
