So today was group workout ~ or should I say, workout with Sharon, since it seems to have gone from group to the two of us and Tristan, which is fine with me. I got there early cause I had to pay for my contract for the next set of PT sessions, and I figured I'd run first.
February 28th: 12 laps of the track at Bally's
Songs: Don't Remember...
Distance: 1 mile
Time: 7:32.12
Splits: 38.6, 38.3, 39.4, 38.2, 39.2, 38.4, 38.7, 37.5, 38.5, 36.9, 36.8, 32.1
Weather: Inside running!
Feeling: Damn good! And I still think I can maybe do it a little faster...
Then we had group. Did Kettlebells, which is so much fun, and then Sharon and I ran/walked another 3-4 miles while Tristan trained a 12 year old. Then we did 7 straight minutes of abs, which hurt like hell, but is good for both of us.
And then, I've done nothing else all afternoon. :)

After the rain...
...I went running.
February 27th: 1 1/2 loops of the Apartment complex
Songs: Jiggy With It, So What, London Bridge
Distance: 1 mile
Time: ~ 8:10 based on songs
Weather: 48 degrees, cloudy, feels like 42
Feeling: Glad to run after the rain...but I can't wait to go to bed!
Oh, all I wanted today was to go to bed...
...and now I am.

Can Barely Keep My Eyes Open...
February 26th: A loop and around the Apartment complex
Songs: Please Don't Stop the Music, If I had a Million Dollars
Distance: 1 mile
Time: no watch
Weather: 28 degrees, partly cloudy, feels like 28
Feeling: Can barely keep my eyes open...
Can't believe I managed to run. Fell asleep on my couch after dinner with Jerry, LanNa and Kirthi, woke up around 10:30 pm and then went to run. Can't believe I manage to do this every day...almost two months down!

One Step at a Time
February 25th: 1 1/2 laps of apartment complex
Songs: Attitude Dance, One Step at a Time
Distance: 1 mile
Time: ~ 8:30 based on songs
Weather: 28 degrees, partly cloudy, feels like 28
Feeling: Pretty good...but that might have been the wine.
Journal Club tonight...finally had the wine that I needed after yesterday.
Tomorrow's Donna's section. :) Get to meet Kylie Grace and Bill gets to see his first delivery!

Can't Wait to be a Grown Up
February 24th: 3/4 lap of the apartment complex, then 1 full lap and some sidewalk running
Songs: can't even remember...
Distance: 1+ mile
Time: no watch
Weather: 28 degrees, clear, feels like 19
Feeling: I really just want the anger to go away...
So today we had a Code Noelle again. I did the case with Davenport, Conway, Ogburn and Figueroa. That's a lot of attendings. She's in the SICU, intubated, but should do well, I suspect. Then, after I tied up some ante strings, Shelly and Chanda are in the ER evaluating a patient with Ogburn who has an acute abdomen. They level her for the OR, but the attending at home (on gyn backup) doesn't think that she needs to go to the OR. So they don't have anyone to take her to the OR. I say that I'll happily put in a scope (since our MFM attending isn't comfortable with it) and I'll take her to the OR. I'm so sick of our attendings NOT coming to see patients with us, NOT taking people to the OR who need to go, NOT doing the RIGHT THING by the patient.
I can't wait to grow up, cause in a few months, I can just take these people to the OR. No more dicking around.
Needless to say, my run didn't make me feel better. I set out with my pager, cause I knew that Chanda would be calling me at some point. I forgot my cell phone, so when I was in the far corner of the apartment complex, my pager went off. I sprinted home, running through some lawns and called her back. Then I talked to Shelly, who told me the patient's abdomen was WORSE and the attendings didn't want to take her to the OR. So I went back out to run, finishing a lap and then running on all the sidewalks on my half of the apartment complex.

7:47 is not just a plane...
So my initial intention was to get to Bally's BEFORE my workout with Tristan to run first. Instead, I stopped at Target to pick up my Kettlebell and a new inhaler and just made it to Bally's at 5 of 6. So that meant an hour of Tristan kicking my butt followed by having to run my mile. I had set a goal for my mile to be under 7:50. That meant keep the laps around 39 seconds each.
February 23rd: 12 laps of the track at Bally's
Songs: Stronger than Yesterday, Misunderstood, Soul with a Capital S
Distance: 1 mile
Time: 7:47.47
Splits: 41.8, 39.9, 40.8, 39.4, 39.3, 39.8, 38.9, 39.5, 39.1, 38.9, 37.6, 32.2
Weather: Inside running!
Feeling: Beat my goal time ~ and I felt good.
Got a little stuck on the first lap. Caught behind some walkers and some people running just a tad slower than I wanted to. Felt good at the end, could have kept going, and probably could have gone a little faster, which is good to know.
Keep going, keep going, keep going!

And I Run.
February 22nd: 1 1/2 laps of apartment complex
Songs: Everyday is a Winding Road, It's All Been Done, Hey Virginia
Distance: 1 mile
Time: no watch - will time my splits tomorrow
Weather: 33 degrees, cloudy and windy, feels like 21
Feeling: I can't believe I still manage to drag myself out for the runs.
So I wonder something - I can't drag myself out of bed to do work, to submit papers, to work on my applications, but I can drag myself out, regardless of how many naps I've taken and how little I've eaten or drank - and I run.
At least this has become a habit. :)

Just Tired...
Thursday - well, I tried to be a better chief. I sat them down, told them what I expected and what the plan of the day would be. No luck. Still missing some important things. Work was followed by poker, which I don't think I won a single hand of. I did, however, drink a half of a bottle of wine. Which made the mile run around the apartment complex a little more fun. :)
Friday - 24 hour call. Now, I don't really need to say how freaking tired I am - I worked the Sunday before SGO, had SGO, worked last Saturday and worked this Friday. That means one full month without a weekend off. So I got up early on Friday to run. Down the street to 25 and back. Then I was on call. It was a busy day. And that went into Saturday morning.
Saturday - Came home from work. Slept. Woke up groggy, slept more. Woke up more groggy, slept more. And finally dragged my ass out of bed at 10 pm to go run. Ugh. 1 mile around my apartment.
And now I'm really groggy. And have a headache. And need to go back to sleep. Tomorrow's my brother's engagement party, which means I have to trek to CT in the morning. Ugh.

Running in the Rain, Thinking.
February 18th: One and a half loops of apartment complex
Songs: Womanizer, Brian Wilson
Distance: 1 mile
Time: somewhere around 8:20 based on the songs
Weather: 44 degrees, raining, feels like 40
Feeling: A little running, a little thinking...
So I'm trying to figure out how to be better at what I do. I'm good with what I'm doing, it's what the others are doing that I'm not good at. An my intern is struggling and all I have is a temper with him, cause he drives me up the freaking wall. And I don't know how to be better about it. I don't have patience, I've never had patience, but I need to find it.
Maybe tomorrow will be better...

The Weekend...
Friday was a Code Noelle at work...which is a story in and of itself that I will have to write at some point. But that meant I got home at 11 pm and ran out to run.
Saturday was a 24 hour call. Which meant I had to run before work. So up early, I ran to 25 and back. Then delivered 10 babies, did a D&C and stayed quite busy.
Which meant I came home Sunday morning (after going out to breakfast with Liz, Johnie, and Diana) and crashed. I set my alarm to wake up to run, but I didn't get out of bed until 11 pm and just got in from my mile. And now I'm going back to bed until tomorrow.

Willam Frank Killegrew
Today was the day I delivered Vanessa. I found out Vanessa was pregnant when she was a "missed period old." She told me right away (it was the end of my third year) and asked me to do her repeat c-section. Vanessa is an attending in one of the best private practices in town. She was pregnant when I started residency and delivered her baby girl in August of my intern year. I remember being on that night and seeing her family in the waiting room - I remember watching and being there as my chief operated on her friend. And to be asked to do her repeat c-section - one where knew would be challenging - was an honor. I'm still the only intern that operated with Vanessa on a c-section. It means she trusts me and thinks I'm a good surgeon. And that means alot to me. So at 9:50 this morning, 10 lb 9 oz William Frank Killegrew was born. Apgars 9/9, 21.5 inches long. It was the best thing I've done in a while. Absolutely amazing. Her family was so great, her sisters are amazing. I can't believe I got to do it!
February 12th: U - actually W - of the apartment complex
Songs: One Step at a Time, Come on Over, Panic at the Disco Bridegroom
Distance: 1 mile
Time: no watch again today
Weather: 45 degrees, cloudy and windy, feels like 35
Feeling: Windy. Just want it done. What a day.
Now my last requested c-section of the year comes up the end of this month - Donna and Bill, two of our nurses on 17N who got married last year. It'll be Bill's first time in the delivery room (errr, the OR). I can't wait for that now!

Food?
The second day in a row that we left L&D by 6:30...so I decided intead of eating right away, I'd run while it was still nice and then dig something out for food.
February 11th: To 25 and Back (Bank of America)
Songs: Who Let the Dogs Out, Only the Good Die Young, I Kissed a Girl
Distance: 1.2 mile
Time: 5:09 out, 4:44 back - total time 9:52 (~8:15 mile)
Weather: 47 degrees, cloudy, feels like 42
Feeling: It's so nice out! It was really nice to run! So my shins still hurt a little...
Course, when I got home, I looked in my fridge and realized I have no food. Now What?

Aaahhh...it was nice to run again outside in my familiar area.
February 10th: 1 1/2 loops of Apartment complex
Songs: Follow Me, It's All Been Done, So What
Distance: 1 mile
Time: didn't time it...figure I timed yesterday and didn't need to today.
Weather: 39 degrees, mostly cloudy, feels like 39 degrees
Feeling: I think I'm a little insane to keep doing this...but the weather was nice!
Felt good. Left shin hurts more than right shin, and I'm trying to keep doing my exercises. Did almost choke on my cough drop, and I probably should stop running with them. Though my throat still hurts and my voice is still strained...the running continues!

Running FAST in circles...
February 9th: 12 laps of Bally's track
Songs: Stronger/Faster, Panic at the Disco Suicide/Martyrdom
Distance: 1 mile
Time: 7:58
Splits: 40.0, 40.9, 42.1, 39.8, 40.6, 41.2, 40.5, 40.3, 39.1, 40.2, 38.9, 35.1 (seconds)
Weather: Inside running is wonderful.
Feeling: Shin splints from running on the treadmill. But wonderful! Can't really believe I'm that fast already!
So far, so good. I really didn't want to run tonight, but hey, it's what I do. I'm tired though, and going to go to bed early. I'm definitely not recovered from SGO yet. I have to buy my plane ticket for APGO/CREOG, make my hotel reservation...that's just over a month away now!

Riverwalk
So today, I couldn't bring myself to go to the conference. I was exhausted from being out late every night and getting up early every day and when Dr. Chalas left at 4 am, I rolled over and despite the 6 am wakeup call and 6:45 alarm on my watch, I got out of bed around 7:30 am. But that meant the sun was up and I decided to head out on the Riverwalk to run.
Date: February 8th
Time: 13 minutes
Distance: somewhere over a mile probably but I really couldn't tell you
Songs: no songs, forgot my ipod in LI
Feeling: Shins hurt from running on the treadmill. But it was really nice to run by the river!
Now I'm waiting at the airport to go home. I'm exhausted. Very excited to crawl into my own bed in my own apartment...but not looking forward at all to going back to work!

SGO
Just so you know, I have kept up my running while in San Antonio. I had to switch it up and run on the treadmill because 1-the conference starts really early, 2-San Antonio in the dark is sorta creepy, 3-if I didn't do it first thing in the morning, it wasn't going to get done.
But I have done it, every day - Wed night when I got here, Thurs, Friday and Sat morning. And I'll run tomorrow before I head home. Running less than 10 minute miles and often running at sub-9 pace. But I'm looking forward to the outside running in the cold again...but not my messy apartment!

Everything's bigger in Texas...
February 4th: Marriott Rivercenter San Antonio
Distance: 1.1 miles
Weather: Inside running
Feeling: Pretty good. Was running sub-9 minute mile at the end.
So I made it to San Antonio - got in around 9 pm, and didn't want to investigate outside too much - it's already dark and unfamiliar. So I hit the gym here in the hotel. Amazing fitness center, but I still hate treadmills and look forward to a run outside tomorrow.

Now-now-that don't kill me...
Can only make me stronger...right?
I'm not quite sure if running this mile is making me stronger. I only hope it's not making me sicker...I leave for SGO tomorrow. Spent the day on the couch, and at 10 pm, I had to make the decision. I either run, or I go to bed. I never picked up my laundry so I dragged out some really old clothes and layered up.
February 3rd: U of the apartment complex and then down and back
Distance: 1 mile
Weather: 27 degrees, feels like 18, light snow
Feeling: I can't believe I'm actually doing it...
Here's for hoping this made me stronger.

Yesterday and Today
February 2nd: 12 laps of Bally's track
Distance: 1 mile
Weather: Inside running is wonderful.
Feeling: Surprisingly, not as bad as I expected with my lungs the way they are.
Of course, that was yesterday. Today, I was sent home from work. It takes a great deal for me to leave work, and I was practically in tears. My voice sounds like a mouse and I'm terrified I'm going to look like an idiot at SGO. So I came home, intermittently hacked up my lung, drank tea, and tried some new meds to get better. Heather the midwife recommended mucinex extra strength, and I'll try anything.
I still need to pack for SGO. I still need to finish shopping for clothes for SGO. Oh wait, I leave TOMORROW! I did log onto Southwest though and managed to score A21 for my Southwest ticket. :)
Oh yeah, and I still need to run today. Which means I need to go pick up my laundry in the snow sometime soon so I can go run. And wonder why I'm doing this when I feel so crummy.

Running on Day Quil
Ugh....
Pearl got me sick.
It started Wednesday night, when my throat started to hurt. Like "swallowed a bunch of knifes" hurt. Then the fever, chills, sweats, coughing, nasal drip, hacking up my lungs all followed. So the last few days have been REALLY tough. Mentally and physically.
January 29th: U of my apartment complex twice, then over to the church and back.
Distance: 1 mile
Weather: don't remember - layered more since I was going to be walking.
Feeling: Ran when I could, walked when I should. It was just to get it done.
January 30th: To 25 and back.
Distance: 1 mile
Weather: don't remember
Feeling: Ran the whole time. Felt better than I thought it would. Might have something to do with the fact I overdosed on Day Quil that day - 6.5 grams of acetominophen....
January 31th: Hospital Parking Lot loops
Distance: 1 mile
Weather: 22 degrees, felt like 9
Feeling: Cold out. Lungs hurt. Didn't want to be on call. AT ALL.
So I came home, and somewhat deleriously fell asleep. Didn't actually sleep for that long, but I expect to be back there soon.
February 1st: 25 and back.
Distance: 1 mile
Weather: 40 degrees, clear, sun's setting, feels like 34
Feeling: Not too bad. Breathing is difficult - I feel like I'm only using part of my lungs. But a mile isn't anything anymore.
So it's been a month. And I made it though the first few bumps - being exhausted, being sick, hurting body parts. And it's a habit now and that feels pretty damn good.
Back to the Day Quil!
