Too Much Thinking

I need to do less of that...

Nov 29: Around the block

Almost 23 months!

The Weekend

So far, not too bad. Yesterday I ran, rounded, went to brunch, read for 3 hours at Connecticut Muffin, came home, went through some piles of crap in the apartment, ordered Freshdirect for a late delivery tonight and slept fairly well.

Today, I woke up with my to-do list already made. So far, it's been breakfast, coffee, internet, run. Shortly it will be shower and hospital.

Nov 27: Prospect Park 1 mile
Nov 28: Prospect Park lower loop (1.75 I think)

So I am going to try to run more. Not sure exactly what, if any, races I'm going to be doing coming up but I might as well start running more. It's easy enough to do.

Thanksgiving

How much has happened in a year...

Nov 24: Around the block
Nov 25: Prospect Park 1 mile

Probably should have run when the weather was still nice out. Now it's rainy and dreary and I'm trying to muster the energy to go to Patricia's for dinner.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Methodist Days

I love escaping to Methodist from Downstate. It's wonderful. And even better - today, I actually felt like a fellow. I gave a lecture to the Methodist residents and then did the robot with Gorelick - and he let me sit at the console!

All in all, two late but very good days!

Nov 22: Up the hill to 11th (or right before - to the closed section about 4/5th of the way up)
Nov 23: Up the hill to 11th (yeah, same as above)

Tomorrow, we're at KCH. Ugh. But then it's Thanksgiving!

The End of Vacation

All good things must come to an end. Though I haven't completely decided if this was a good or a bad vacation, it was relaxing, it was definitely deserved. I also haven't decided if I really want to go back to work tomorrow.

Nov 21: Prospect Park 1 mile

Now, I really need to do something about this procrastination...though I guess technically I'm still on vacation...

Ahhh...

My body is sore from windsurfing. Way, way, way sore.

Nov 20: Prospect Park 1 mile

Now I'm waiting for the sweat to dry so I can shower, dress, and drive to CT to see the family. :)

Day(s) at the Beach

Friday was pre-vacation so we high-tailed it out when the day was done at 5 pm.

Nov 12: Prospect Park 1 mile - VACATION BEGINS!

Off to dinner and drinks with Nikole after. Then up early in the morning to drive to PA with a return trip planned that night to pack for the beach...

Nov 13: Around the block after Lucas' birthday party

Then it was time for a plane and some sun, surf, sand and liquor in the Dominican Republic. The resort was eh but I finally unwound by Tuesday/Wednesday, which is really what vacation was about.

Nov 14: Golf course at dusk
Nov 15: Golf course at dusk
Nov 16: Beach run in the morning
Nov 17: Beach run at dusk
Nov 18: Beach run at dusk
Nov 19: Beach run in the morning

I'm back in Brooklyn now and I'm unwinding some more. Back to CT tomorrow to see the fam and celebrate my birthday there. Going to enjoy these last 56 hours of vacation...

Veteran's Day

A day off midweek is nice. A Thursday off which means no County Clinic or educational time is even nicer, because it means I didn't need to prepare for Tumor Board or anything like that.

Nov 10: Up the hill to 11th
Nov 11: Prospect Park 1 mile

It also meant I could sleep in (except I was getting calls all night) and run during daylight hours. It means that I should finish cleaning my apartment, finish my laundry so I can pack for vacation. Because tomorrow night it's dinner with Nikole, Saturday it's PA for Lucas' birthday, and Sunday I'm on a jet plane!!!

Bad Day

Yep, I've had them. This one was definitely one of the bad ones.

Nov 8: Around the block
Nov 9: Around the block

70 or so hours until vacation. God knows I need it.

Daylight Saving & NYC Marathon

Got an extra hour of sleep last night. That was nice.

Got up this morning to do my run at 8 am (which was previously 9 am) and it was COLD out! Time for hats and gloves my friends! Guess fall gave way to winter already...

Nov 7: Prospect Park 1 mile

Now I'm off to 4th & 9th in Brooklyn to cheer on TNT for the NYC Marathon! Go TEAM!

More Like Fall

Ran around noon today - beautiful day to run. Crisp air, clear day. Sky that beautiful blue, leaves falling off the trees, lots of people out and about.

What I don't want to do is round today.

Nov 5: Around the block/up the hill
Nov 6: Prospect Park 1 mile

And It's Winter!

Man, has the temperature dropped in the last few days! I swear I was running in warm weather clothes up til now. I've pulled out the ski hat, my blue NB running shirt and my thicker tights. It's not Montana-cold, but there's that bite to the air that I missed when I was out West.
