Three Months Down

Of fellowship, that is. This was just month 21 of running.

Sept 27: Up to 11th after work
Sept 28: Up to 16th and down around bank after work
Sept 29: Prospect Park at 6 pm after work
Sept 30: Up to 11th at 4 am after a long night of work related stuff

Tomorrow, if I make it through the day, I'm off for the weekend. I'm going to bed early tonight (like in 15 minutes early) and then probably do the same tomorrow. I can't wait to sleep...

Another One Bites the Dust

I guess it was just a matter of time before I bit it. You can't run on a trail, listen to music, and let your mind wander without one of those damn tree roots jumping up to get you.

Sept 26: Prospect Park 1 mile

So I took a tumble about 3/4 into my run. Scraped my right leg, palms of both hands, and maybe tweaked the right side of my neck. Nothing too bad, but maybe I'll stick to the streets from now on.

Lo-o-o-n-g Week

It's a good thing I ran in the morning on Wed. My flight got delayed with thunderstorms and I didn't get into NYC til 2 am.

Sept 23: Up to 11th then down to get pizza
Sept 24: Prospect Park 1 mile
Sept 25: Prospect Park 1 mile

I think I got a total of 10 hours of sleep in my bed this week. That was, until last night when I think I went to sleep around 9 and woke up this morning around 9. Finally feel a little rested. Hard to start my day though ~ putzed around for a bit, finally got my run in, and now am showering and heading to round. Should be done with that hopefully by 1 or 2 and then I've got to do some correcting and writing of abstracts. I'd like to say I'm looking forward to next weekend being off, but I think I'll be doing lots of work...

Happiest Place on Earth

I might actually need to go on a Disney vacation soon. I'm here in Florida, staying at the hotel before robot training today. I forgot what it's like to be around nice people who are happy. It's been almost half my lifetime since I've been to Disney (I think I was 16) and haven't really had a good reason to come back. Maybe while I'm in pursuit of happiness...

Sept 21: Ran around Pop Century Resort after my flight got in (11 pm)
Time: 10:15

Sept 22: Ran around Pop Century Resort early in the morning (6 am)
Time: 10:18

Crossing Midnight...Sorta,

This weekend was Lucas' Christening ~ and I finally became a godmother.

I left for PA early on Saturday and returned home late Sunday (almost 10 pm). I decided to go out and run, then finish my speech for tomorrow, then run again early Monday morning if I was still up so I could "sleep in" til 5 am tomorrow.

Sept 18: 2 miles with Leigh in PA - Lucas was in the stroller. It was actually fun and a whole lot easier than I thought to push a kid!
Sept 19: Up to 11th and back at 10 pm
Sept 20: Up to 16th and down, around bank and back at 1 am

So it was almost like crossing midnight.

Now I've got to wind down, sleep a little, look over my speech one more time, and head to the hospital. Definitely excited about tomorrow night though. Can't wait to see people again!

A Long Week

But a happy weekend off upcoming.

Sept 13: Up to 11th and back
Sept 14: Up to 16th and around the block
Sept 15: Over the bridge on the other side
Sept 16: Prospect Park at Dusk after the tornado
Sept 17: Up to 11th and back

The next few days are going to be busy - off to PA in the morning, then LI Monday night, Florida Tuesday night to Wednesday night. But I'm going to make the best of it because there are so many great things about it - hanging with Drew, Leigh and Scott this weekend, hanging with Michael on Monday and trying to make it fun in Florida.

But now, it's bedtime.

Fall is Here

At least, the weather outside is acting very fall-like.

Sept 12: Prospect Park 1 mile

Been up since 6:30 but still really puttering around the house, reading a lesiure book that is again making me contemplate my screwed up relationships. Gotta round, be productive at work and then do some reading. :)

September 11, 2010

It's a day that will always bring back memories of 2001, knowing exactly where you were and what you were doing. I remember being with my roommates after being told in lecture that the planes had hit. I remember watching TV and not knowing if we were going to war - but knowing full well that this was the defining event of my lifetime. People remember where they were when Kennedy got shot, when World War II started or ended...my generation will remember 9/11.

Sept 10: Prospect Park
Sept 11: Prospect Park

And this morning, I did what I've been intending to do for a while now. I chopped my hair. :)

More Tired

I don't think I've ever gone on a run and come home more tired than when I started (versus more awake and slightly envigorated). That was, until tonight.

Sept 7: Up to 11th and back
Sept 8: Around the block to Prospect and 1/2 the loop
Sept 8: Up to 11th and back

And now, I have to put my cases to date in the SGO database. And then crash. Work tomorrow, all day, and then REALLY crash. But of course, I'm stuck on this weekend now...when I should have been on last weekend.

I think I need a vacation...

Labor Day

As I mentioned before, Labor Day work weekend got all kinds of screwed up. I was on call Sat night, Sun night, and today. Tana was on Friday night, rounded Sat and Sun. Which is really annoying and screwy. And totally killed my mojo for working all weekend. The beautiful weather played a role in that too, though.

Sept 5: Prospect Park 1 mile
Sept 6: Prospect Park 1 mile

Yesterday I tried ~ I really tried. After my run, went up to B&N, tried to put cases into the SGO database until it crashed. Then came down to the Park and tried to write my Candlelight Ceremony speech. Not much luck there. Wandered around for a bit, couldn't bring myself to actually do work in Connecticut Muffin. Went to the movies to see Eat, Pray, Love for inspiration. Not inspiring. Actually, not a great movie overall. Then came home, still uninspired, and read a leisure book.

Today, I got up, ran, went into work where I had to round and then do all the chemo orders for the week. Checked some labs, looked over some stuff, and then couldn't bear to be there any longer. Came home, played around on the laptop for a bit, made myself a smoothie and some popcorn, and now should do work.

Except I don't feel like it. So I guess I'm going to give myself til 5 pm and then head up to Connecticut Muffin where I will hopefully be more motivated than I am now.

Who wants to labor on Labor Day anyway?

What Hurricane?

So, Hurricane Earl was supposed to come in last night. Yesterday evening, the clouds were thick, dark, and looming. But it doesn't seem like anything happened because I woke up to a sunny beautiful day outside.

Sept 2: Prospect Park 1 mile
Sept 3: Prospect Park 1 mile
Sept 4: Prospect Park Lower Loop (1.75 miles)

So this was supposed to be my weekend on call. But yesterday, in some sort of crazy mess, it was determined that I had at least the night off. And then, when Tana called me a few minutes ago, I was told I didn't have to work til Monday.

Now, normally, this would be exciting. However, I have plans for the weekend of the 18th (Lucas' christening) and now this means that my next two weekends off are not weekends off at all, because I will have to work one of them. Never mind that I was mentally prepared to work these two weekends in a row to have two weekends off in a row. So now I'm covering Tana tonight because she made plans given this was supposed to be her weekend off and I'm taking call starting tomorrow afternoon. What a crazy fucked up mess.

I Like Passing People

It makes my run so much more fun when I can pass people. Especially people that appear to be going fast...and then I get to run by them. Sure, I get passed by some pretty wicked fast people, but I do a good amount of passing too. Course, that may be because I only run 1 mile.

Aug 31: Prospect Park
Sept 1: Prospect Park

20 months down. 609 days. Starting Month 21.
