makes for a not fun run in the morning.
On 24 today, which meant get up and run pre-call at 5:30. Not that I slept much, because the wind battered the rain against my window every 5-10 minutes, waking me up.
March 30: Around the apartment complex
Feeling: Wet. Cold. Wet.
Ok, shower and start my day.

Just a Little Rain
...or maybe 2-5 inches. Whatever.
I had planned to run inside at the gym. But my schedule got changed again and instead, I covered L&D this afternoon. So I had to run when I came home.
March 29: Around the Apartment Complex
Weather: Raining.
Feeling: Alright...except when I stepped in puddles.
Then, for the first time in the over a month of living in this apartment, I cooked myself dinner. Just made some pasta, but still, the first time I cooked. Not that it'll happen anytime soon - on call tomorrow, Wed is Journal Club...
Oh, on call tomorrow. Gotta get up to run. Time to go to bed then.

Lazy Sunday
Today, I decided not to go back to CT. Figured I'll be there this coming weekend for Easter and then after that for the doctor's appts and Terry's birthday so I might as well take a day to myself. And though there are things I should be doing (like taxes, bills, IRB) I've decided to do nothing. Well, I'm having dinner with Chris. But that's still nothing. I've gotta eat, right?
March 27: Around the apartment complex post call
March 28: Around the apartment complex mid afternoon when I finally got out of bed
Feeling: Did some pickups. Felt ok. Not great, not horrible.
I am enjoying my day. Surfing the net, picked up Cosmopolitan magazine to read, just laying around. Tomorrow I'll be academic and get the rest of the stuff done. Today is about me.
And that could be because of my horoscope today..."Oh boy, here we go. That innocent little flirtation you were starting to enjoy? Forget about enjoying it. A certain someone who absolutely adores you will make it abundantly clear that this isn't what they quite had in mind when you two talked about it. Of course, you're a big fan of monogamy, so it's not like you were thinking about acting on this - but fun is fun. At least, it was..."
Hmmm...maybe it's best I haven't said what I was planning on. More food for thought.

My 200th Post
Just thought that was a neat little stat. It's also my 450th day running a mile every day.
Last night was a night out with the AICU nurses, a few surgery residents, and the urology crew. Heather and I spent the night sending texts to Michael to try to get him to come out...and then she's surprised in the morning when he texts her back! I'm a little worried about what might happen if the three of us do get drunk together....
March 26: Around the apartment complex
Feeling: Surprising well given the amount I drank last night.
Ahh....life is good.

Ahhh, sleep...
Yesterday, post call, I finally got a great deal of sleep. I've been overdue for that for the last week.
March 23: Precall - around the apartment complex
March 24: Post call, post gym - around the apartment complex
Then I went to bed around 4:30 pm and did not get out of bed until 8:30 this morning.
That was wonderful.
March 25: Around the apartment complex, pre-continuity clinic
Now I'm off to get some food and some coffee and then go to the office for the afternoon. There's a happy hour tonight at Tara's with some of the OR crew, so I'll head over there afterwards.

Another Week
Another week (or at least 5 days) down.
March 18: Around the Apartment Complex late at night after Vanessa's
March 19: Around the Apartment Complex early in the morning pre-call
March 20: Lima St Run post-call
March 21: Lima St Run on my parents 40th anniversary
March 22: Around the Apartment Complex after academic day
So, since my friend Kristen has started streaking this year, and she says that today is day 81. Which makes it day 446 for me.
I got the Spring Edition of the USRSA in the mail at my parents this weekend. Seems I'm #232 on the Active Streak Registry. Today, someone asked when I thought I'd stop running. My answer was "when I can't anymore."
I don't see that happening any time soon.
Time for bed. Will be up early tomorrow to run pre-call.

No Comment
I have no comment about what happened last night.
Actually, I have lots of comments, this just isn't the place to post it.
Suffice it to say, I did my run this morning after a bottle of wine and about a half-hour of sleep.
March 17: Treadmill run
Time: Didn't even look
Distance: 1.04 miles
Again, wow. I still have to digest all of this...

Another SGO Down
Well, I'm done with the conference. I leave tomorrow at 9 am, so no sessions for me.
Didn't want to run in the morning when I was a little more congested, so I ran after sessions at 5:30.
March 16: Around SF
Distance: 1.25 miles or more
Feeling: Pretty good, despite the hacking I do in my hotel room.
Alright, time to shower and meet up with MP for some drinking.

California Dreaming
SGO.
Last year, I was "on display" at this conference. This year, I get to be just who I am.
March 13: Ran around outside by the hotel (1.25 miles)
March 14: Ran around outside by the hotel (1.25 miles)
March 15: Ran on the treadmill (8:03 running, another 1:30 walking for cool down)
Still have a knot in my left calf from the cramp I got after the flight. Also have no voice, which is similar to last year at SGO. Guess that means I just get to listen.
Have got to hang out with Drew every night so far, which has been wonderful. Just the simple pleasure of my best friend. :)

Starting back at the Brook
It's funny - I've had a number of people come up to me and ask "who's this new attending Stevens?" To which I've replied "me!"
I'll admit, I'm having more fun at the Brook than I expected to. So far, been to the main OR 5 times and done 2 hysts on L&D. I'll say my surgical skills will be kept sharp.
And I have been running ~ though I may not be able to exactly tell you when/where. Let me get the calendar and give it a shot.
Feb 20: CT run
Feb 21: CT run
Feb 22: Ran at Bally's - 12 laps - under 8 minutes
Feb 23: Ran 1 1/2 loops of apartment complex prior to call
Feb 24: Ran 1 1/2 loops of apartment complex prior to crashing around 9 pm
Feb 25: Ran apt complex
Feb 26: Back in CT, around the block there
Feb 27: CT run - then drove to NY at night
Feb 28: Ran apt complex prior to call
March 1: Ran apt complex after workout with Tristan (it was nice out)
March 2: CT run - Dad's doctors appts
March 3: CT run
March 4: CT run then back to NY
March 5: Ran after work - almost forgot because Nik was in labor!
March 6: Ran in the morning then traveled to NJ
March 7: Ran apt complex before call
March 8: Ran at Ballys before workout with Tristan- 7:28
March 9: Ran on the Ferry on the way back to CT
March 10: CT run after walking 3 miles with dad
March 11: Ran apt complex after continuity clinic
March 12: Ran apt complex before running errands
YToday I leave for SGO. So my next few runs will be in SF.
