Nov 30: Around the Block
Weather: 45 degrees
Songs: Let's Get it Started, Dirty Pop
Feeling: Ok, moderately fast, feeling pretty good.

Golf Course
So didn't get to stay home on Thanksgiving day. Instead, I had another baby boy. Then Katrina had her baby boy, and Vicki had her baby boy today, which means that all of my friends have boys. Still have a few out there to deliver, but not many left. Meant I had Thanksgiving Dinner at the hospital. Luckily, Dave's wife is a good cook.
Did a little exploring today in the golf course. Ran around the country club and down by a different set of holes, around the back of the course and back to the path I usually run on. Took me a long time to get out of bed and get moving this morning. But I finally got out around noon and had a really nice run.
Nov 27: Golf course ~ standard run to the lake and back (before rounds)
Nov 28: Golf course ~ standard run to the sand pile and back (before rounds)
Nov 29: Golf course ~ exploring run (noontime)
Songs: Brian Wilson, Love Song, Let's Get it Started
Feeling: Pretty good. Back hurts a little. Tried swinging the kettle bell around a little to stretch out my muscles. Especially knowing that I'm going to be stooped over my desk for the next 6 hours.
35 charts to go. Then I've caught up on all my charting for the last month. And then, I'll try to get ahead. So many things I'd like to do this year. So many things!
Oh, and I've got 33 days left in the year. I think I'm going to keep running. If I don't, I'll never work out.

Happy Thanksgiving!
It's been a busy week. I kicked it off on Sunday with the start of a week long delivery spree - Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Keeps me busy.
Nov 24: Ran at the hospital because I had a laboring patient; Ran Wilson to Haynes to B street
Nov 25: Ran around the block
Nov 26: Ran the golf course to the lake
And all the babies I've delivered are BOYS!
Here's for hoping that the laboring patients stay home today and I get to have a restful Thanksgiving Day!

Christmas Lights?!?
I hate Christmas lights before Thanksgiving. One holiday at a time, people! But there was a house ablazin' on my run tonight...
Nov 23: Around the Block
Feeling: Cold, don't want to run.
Songs: Let it Rock, Panic at the Disco
Well, we're getting down to only a month to go. It was cold tonight, much different than the last few runs. And I'm looking forward to a good old fashioned nap. :) Bedtime for me!

It's a BOY!
Did my run this morning, right after getting a page that one of my patients would be heading in with ruptured membranes.
Nov 22: Golf Course
Feeling: Nice day, body felt okay, weather's good, sun is shining!
And then I went to the hospital ~ and delivered a baby boy named Parker. The first boy after 3 girls, who are easily some of the cutest little kids I've even seen. Nicest couple, easiest delivery, just a wonderful day.
Now, I'm going to bed because I've got another wonderful patient to deliver tomorrow that I can't wait to see how big her baby is!

What's with the Weather?
So a few posts ago I wrote how I thought I'd have to retire my baseball cap. Guess I spoke too soon.
Nov 20: Around the block - clockwise
Nov 21: Around the block - counter-clockwise
Mixed it up a little today. Ran at dusk and ran in just my NYC Marathon shirt, vest, tights and baseball cap. Watched little kids riding around earlier today on their bikes in t-shirts. Guess winter hasn't quite found its way to eastern Montana yet and I'm okay with that!
40 days to go in the year!

42 Days to Go!
Nov 18: Around the Block
Nov 19: Around the Block
Today I wore my new neck scarf from Under Armor, bought at Murdocks with my gift certificate on Tuesday. Kept my neck and chin warm. Cheeks a little cold. Still have to figure out how to wear it as a half neck/face warmer. Next time, I guess.
Time for bed.

Birthday Weekend and more
Nov 15: Golf Course run at 9 am
Nov 16: Around the Block at 5 pm
Nov 17: Around the Block at 6:30 pm
After the run on the 15th, we left for South Dakota to see Mt. Rushmore. Hit up Rapid City, which allowed for some real shopping, and then back home the afternoon of my birthday. All in all, a pretty good birthday. Chris left early in the morning on the 17th and I came home last night with full intention to sleep all the way through the night ~ until I got a text message at 3 am that my godson, Lucas Ryan Cook, was born. :)
So I'm going to try the go to bed early thing today.

Giving Up the Cap
The baseball cap, that is. It's now finally consistently hitting temperatures that my ears are getting cold at, despite running during the day in the sun. Granted, it was early when I ran today, but I think it's time. 47 days remaining in the year. I've been running for 318 straight days. And I think I'm going to continue this into next year.
Nov 14: Golf Course
Songs: Let's Get it Started, Dirty Pop
Feeling: Pretty good - cold ears though.
Chris Page comes to visit today...he'll be here at 2:45. Should be a fun weekend!

Just Another Run
Nov 11: Around the block 4th-6th
Time of Day: 6:45 pm
I came home early and was planning to call it an early night, but Peter called and wanted to grab dinner before he left town. Then we ran into Rauh so we ended up having a larger dinner party than expected. But it was nice. I like that I'm liked in the community...it makes for some good old fashioned fun.

New Shoes!
So yesterday, my long-awaited new shoes arrived. I ordered the DS Trainer 14 from Road Runner Sports. They're supposed to be the update of the Trainers I had that I ran NYC in. So I've now got 2 runs under my belt in them.
Nov 6: Around the Block
Feeling: Weather's nice, feeling fast
Nov 7: Golf Course
Time: 10:01
Feeling: Eh. Knee hurts a little, calf cramp last night.
Not feeling anything "amazing" in these shoes. Still probably have to break them in.

A Nice Dinner
Tonight, I went out with Peter, Shantell, and Danielle from Billings Clinic. It was a really nice dinner and it's nice to talk to people, especially when I'm really all by myself out here. It's interesting and fun and I really do like it out here. The things I've managed to get involved with have been spectacular and I'm really enjoying myself.
And so I had to rest my stomach again after too much to eat before running.
November 5: Around the block
Songs: Panic at the Disco, Devil Went Down to Georgia
Feeling: Pretty fast for as full as I was...probably under 7 based on song length
Ok, time to go to bed.

Day 307
Just another mile to run. :)
Nov 3: Around the block, 4th-6th
Songs: Hot and Cold, Disturbia
Feeling: Alright, little cramp in my side, need to eat better.
Ok, here's the sad thing. I'm pretty sure that I've said I need to eat better for the last 11 months. At least I can keep running my mile. :)

Ran during the bottom of the 8th and is now watching Jeter at the plate.
Nov 2: Around the block, 4-6th
Songs: Misunderstood, Let's Dance
Felt okay, especially considering my big dinner at the Rib and Chop.
Ok, here goes YANKEES!!!

Starting Month 11
November 1: Golf Course to Sandpile and Back
Distance: 1 mile
Time: not today
Weather: 46, cloudy, feels like 41
Music: Akon/Eminem, Single Ladies, Mizunderstood
Feeling: Slightly overdressed ~ wore my NYC marathon shirt and my vest - probably didn't need the vest. Also, forgot my inhaler again. Probably should be on a controller at this point.
Today's the NYC Marathon. I remember where I was 3 years ago, huddled on Staten Island. Who knows, maybe I'll be there again next year? Can't wait to go home again.
