Call Weekend!
Sept 18: Best Western and back
Distance: 1 mile
Feeling: Had a HUGE dinner at Pizza Hut after a very long week. Came home, took a nap, and out to run at 9. In bed by 9:30.
At around 5:45 am, a funny sound woke me up. I wasn't quite sure what it was. I looked at the phone, looked at my alarm clock, and then saw the pager sitting by the side of my bed. Holy Shit! Fully dilated multip. Had a baby at 6:19. :)
Came back home, finished sleeping, went back, finished rounding (all my OR cases have safely gone home and are doing well) and then hit the charts in the office til 5. Then went to watch the volleyball game and ran after.
Sept 19: Down the first road to the hospital, around the parking lot, down Wilson and back.
Time: 9:40
Distance: 1+ mile
Crashed again last night, slept in til 8, read in bed for a while, had breakfast and then ran.
Sept 20: BW and back
Distance: 1 mile
Feeling: Just get it done...supposed to rain later today so it was worth just getting out there and doing it.
Today, it's back to the hospital to round on my PP patient and finish up all the charts in my office. Then I'm going to work on handouts and stuff to get the office in order. I swear I can make this all work!

OR Day!
Sept 14, 15, 16, 17: To Best Western and back
Distance: 1 mile
Only timed it on Wed: 6:44
Today was my first day as an attending in the OR. Did a breast abscess, a TAH, and a TLH.
And I'm tired. The bed is calling, but so will Kaderis at some point for me to go in to help him with a bowel resection. I can sleep when I'm dead.

Wyoming?
Yesterday was my onc interview in Oklahoma. Knowing that my flight was going to get into Billings at 8 pm and that I wouldn't get into Miles City until 10 or so, I figured I should run in the morning. So I woke up at 5:30 am and ran on the treadmill, which I haven't done since SGO.
Sept 12: Treadmill at Skrivin Hotel
Distance: 1.07 miles
Time: less than 8 minutes
Feeling: Pretty fast for a treadmill!
So after my interview, which makes it more difficult to figure out my top programs, I got on the plane. And I landed in Billings and got to my car by 8:30ish. So I should be back in Miles City by 10:30. So I got on the highway and started driving...
And about an hour into my drive, I started noticing that the highway was a little more windy than I remembered it. Then I noticed that the mile markers on the side were much higher numbers than I remembered. So when I could, I pulled over and looked at the map. And realized that I was on highway 90 instead of 94, which meant...well, let's just say that I wouldn't have had to pull over if I had driven to the next exit, because the next exit was in Wyoming.
Wyoming?
Well, now I can say that I've legitimately been to Wyoming. So I got gas and then got back on the highway going the other way. And by the time I got to Hardin, it was 11 pm at night and I was tired and didn't want to drive anymore. So the Super 8 it was.
Woke up this morning and headed back to Miles City. And spent the day vegging and recovering from flying and traveling. Went to 4B's for dinner and went running around 6 pm.
Sept 13: To the hospital around and back
Distance: ~ 1 mile
Time: 9:20
Feeling: eh. Today I just had to get through it.
Tomorrow starts another day, another week. Tomorrow's the "Open House" for me at the hospital ~ the get-to-know the new ob/gyn. Thursday we take more pictures (and I do my first major). And sometime this week, I gotta figure out my list.

Getting Cooler Out
I'm still adjusting to the fact that there's no humidity in Montana. So this morning, when it was in the low 70s and I went to run, it feels more like East Coast 60s.
Sept 7: To the hospital, around the front lawn and back
Time: 10:37
Distance: 1+ mile
Feeling: Ok. Tried to run on the grassy area to protect my shins.
I still need to up my milage. I've been needing to do that for months now. But it's into the home stretch of this daily running thing...250 days down, only a little more than 100 to go!

A Different Route
Today, I decided to go the other way ~ instead of running to the hospital, I ran up the hill in the other direction. The benefits were that I could run on the road which is more comfortable than sidewalks and that it was something new. The downside was that it was uphill.
Sept 6: To the Range Riders sign and back
Distance: 1+ miles
Time: 12:12 ( 6:13 there, 5:59 back)
Weather: 82 degrees, fair and sunny, feels like 81
Feeling: Felt good going in a different direction. But doesn't change the fact that I hate hills.
Between today and tomorrow, I've got to get lots of things done for the office ~ handouts and information sheets and things like that. And I do hope to get called in at some point. But if not, I'm enjoying the change of pace. Set up my online bills today and am slowly getting settled here. Fun fun fun!

Damn Shin Splints
I really need new shoes.
Sept 2: Around Holy Rosary Campus
Distance: ~1 mile
Time: 9:58
Feeling: My shins hurt, hurt, hurt. Tried to stick to the grass as much as possible.
Sept 3: Taco John's and Back
Distance: 1 mile
Time: 8:00 (20 seconds faster than the other day)
Feeling: Better ~ I should remember to take my inhaler first. Shins still hurt a little.
I'm going to try to get new shoes tomorrow. And then, after work, I'm going to head to the Football game, once I figure out where they play...
