You know you're spoiled by your Nook when...

I was at the gym today. I was doing some cross training on the elliptical, so took advantage of reading the latest Runner's World we got in the mail. I cannot read mags on the treadmill, only my Nook, which I never thought I'd ever be able to do either. But it's surprisingly easy and passes the time like crazy...and I can make the text bigger on the Nook, so the bouncing up and down doesn't inhibit my ability to read. Besides, if you're running effortlessly and smoothly, you shouldn't be bouncing much anyways, right?

Okay, totally beside the point, so back to the elliptical story. I was reading my Runner's World, and instead of physically turning the page, I tapped the bottom right of the left page there (see picture below). It did not go to the next page. 

 

 Then I came back to reality. OH MY GOODNESS. This is a magazine. Paper. I have to turn the pages myself. Did I seriously just do that?? That's when I realized I've been reading too many books and am spoiled by my Nook (it's a touch screen...you know iPod or iPad style). I was a little embarrassed, but laughing at myself inside.

Truthfully, I don't think you can ever read too many books.

Then I noticed the quote at the bottom of the page when I went I back to take a picture for you guys:

"I think I get addicted to the feelings associated with the end of a long run. I love feeling empty, clean, worn out, starving, and sweat-purged. I love the good ache of muscles that have done me proud."

I love that quote. It pretty much sums up running for me, except she forgot to talk about the adrenaline and the high too. I just love running. And being capable of running and being passionate about it.

Unfortunately, it doesn't change the fact that I'm still apparently spoiled by my Nook.
