I Don't Wanna Work...

I want to bang on the drum all day...

Ok, I don't necessarily want to bang on the drum, but I definitely don't want to go to work. I have a billion charts sitting in my office that I KNOW I have to do this weekend but I really just plain don't feel like it.

Oct 28: Around the Block
Oct 29: Around the Block
Oct 30: Around the Block

Oct 31: Golf Course to Tompy and home
Distance: 1+ mile

But I did get very exciting news last night ~ Scotty and Leigh have picked me to be the godmother of their first baby. Drew's going to be the godfather. It's going to be a boy, which will be great fun for the two of us. I can't wait to spoil this kid! I already set up CBR for him for 18 years and I hope that he never has to use it...

The Night Before Match Day...

Alright, so maybe it's a little less climatic than residency match. There's no big party, there's no drinking at noon, there's no Laura and Lorna with me for support. It's just me, at 10 am tomorrow, logging on to nrmp and hoping that I'm a fellow.

Oct 26: Around the Block - 4th-6th
Oct 27: Around the Block - 4th-6th
Distance: 1 mile

Felt good tonight. Let's Get it Started was the main song, which makes a it a good run before I start.

I really hope I match, I really hope I match. I HOPE I MATCH!

Wanna Stay in Bed

Had to drag myself up today...and I'm still not really up. But I did manage my run.

Oct 25: Golf Course
Time: 9 min
Distance: 1 mile
Feeling: Though it's supposively only 39 degrees, I'm sweating!

Okay, I have a ton of charts to tackle in the office. Time to shower and get to work!

Another Big Move

So now I'm in my new place and finally have internet hooked up. And now I've got some new places to run.

I didn't leave the hotel until Saturday, so my last runs were my traditional ones.

Oct 15: BW and back
Oct 16: BW and back

Then from Saturday on, I was here in my new place on South Fourth.

Oct 17: "Around the block" Down Fourth to Atlantic, Right on Atlantic to Fifth, Right on Fifth to Eagle, Right on Eagle to home, then back down Eagle to the pool and back
Distance: 1 mile
Time: 8:50
Stupid Move of the Run: Forgot to take my inhaler...which is why I came home before finishing the run.

Oct 18: Golf course
Time: 12:42
Distance: 1+ miles

Oct 19: Around the block
Oct 20: Around the block
Oct 21: Around the block
Oct 22: Around the block
Oct 23: Around the block - 'cept I went to 6th instead of 5th this time.

Oct 24: Golf course
Time: 10+ minutes
Distance: 1+ miles
Feeling: It's fun to run randomly around!

I'm going to try to go back to being diligent about this again. Now that I've got internet, I should be better. It's now time to get clean for some MCC benefit tonight!

What Happened to Fall?

Wondering what happened to fall ~ the last few nights have been C-O-L-D!

Oct 13: BW and back
Oct 14: BW and back

And tonight, I went to look at an apartment and took it. Fully furnished, really nicely done! Bedroom, kitchen and living room upstairs, another living room downstairs with a third room off the side that can be an exercise room or office. Sweet! Now I've got to pack up all my stuff and move tomorrow or Friday. Woohoo!

Kevin & Jen's Wedding Weekend!

Guess I forgot to update all week...

Oct 5: BW and back
Oct 6: BW and back
Oct 7: BW and back

Oct 8, at 3 am, I started my drive Billings. Spent a long time flying and managed to make it to the rehearsal right at 6 pm. Got locked in a closet trying to change my clothes...

Oct 8: From Middletown Inn to Ferry St and back
Distance: ~ 1 mile
Time of Day: ~ 11 pm

Oct 9: Middletown Inn to Ferry St and back
Time of Day: ~ 8 am

Oct 10: THE WEDDING DAY! Same run as the last few days
Time of Day: ~ 8:45 am

Oct 11: The departure day
Time of Day: ~ 10 am

Well, that was supposed to be the departure day...except I forgot to check in and we got to the airport 29 minutes before my flight, which meant I wasn't getting on it. Alright, maybe this was a little intentional...I really didn't want to get on a plane!

Oct 12: Sheraton at BDL Treadmill
Distance: 1.06 miles
Time: 8:30ish

And now, I need to shower, pack, and go check in at the airport. Cause I don't think I can miss this plane!

Seeing My Breath

Ah, winter.

Can't say I'm so sure about what happened to fall. Being that summer seemed like it was last week ~ it was 80 degrees. And now it's supposed to snow tonight somewhere between 4 and 10 inches.

Went out on my run this morning before heading into the office. I still had a billion charts all piled up to do and I didn't feel like running at night. So off I went this morning.

Oct 4: Down to Wilson, up the wellness walk, to the end of B road and back
Distance: 1 mile
Feeling: I was actually sort of warm in my vest. But I could see my breath, so I know it was cold out!

Don't know when I'm going to run tomorrow yet. Probably after work. Still want to try to drive to Billings in the morning to operate, but that's going to depend on how much snow we get.

Charting Sucks

I'd love to see patients, scribble some notes, and move on. But no, there's all these rules...which leaves me with about 25 charts in my office that I have to finish by Monday. Got about 10 done today. Semi-focused, and did a little research in the interim. Tomorrow, it's to work early and stay til it's done.

So I ran tonight cause it was damn cold this morning. But it's supposed to start snowing tomorrow night so I better run in the morning.

Oct 3: BW and back
Feeling: Not as cold as I thought.

Oh, and I stopped by Wal Mart and got a ice scraper/brush combo, a scarf, some stretchy gloves and a hat. Just in case.

Another Month...90 days to go!

Sept 28: Hospital to hotel and back
Distance: 1 mile
Feeling: Had a patient in labor that I thought would deliver quick...not so much.

Sept 29: Hotel to Wilson to B and back
Distance: 1 mile
Feeling: Got the run in before my next labor patient showed up.

Sept 30: BW and back
Distance: 1 mile
Feeling: Tired, tired, tired. 3 hours of sleep in a bed in 56 hours...why did I say I wanted to do this again?

Oct 1: BW and back
Feeling: Get r done.

Oct 2: BW and back
Feeling: Not as cold as I expected.

So it's a new month. Only 90 days to go of running every day. The next days this will be difficult ~ the night of the rehearsal dinner, the morning of the wedding, the day after the wedding. Good thing it's only a mile!
