May 26: Up the Hill
May 27: Around the Block
May 28: Up the Hill, down through Prospect Park
May 29: Prospect Park - Full Loop
Today's run felt good. The rest of the day, not so much. Pounding headache that 800mg of advil didn't quite make go away. Going to try to go to bed.

Wanted: Longer Weekend
So it's been a bit since I posted again, but I think I can figure out the last few weeks. Most weeknights it's been around the block and most weekends it's been in the Park. Today it was the lower loop. I've held tight to my post it promise - I've been running farther on the weekends - always at least the lower and sometimes the middle loop. I've also tried to do the other things I posted: clean the apartment once a week, do the dishes every night (just finished them), be thankful every day and write it down, smile at the little things...
This was a great weekend though. A date with Harish on Friday, hanging with Nikole on Saturday, Aquarium with Patricia today. I don't want to go back to work tomorrow. I'd really like to relive Friday night though. Too bad I've got 12 days of call again ahead of me.

The Short-Long Cut
So I made a promise to myself via a sticky note in the hallway:
Run farther every weekend.
May 8: All over Prospect Park
So since yesterday I ran the middle loop, I decided to run that again. But then I took a "short cut" that I thought would lead me to the lower loop but it double backed on itself (up a hill that I was trying to avoid, mind you) and brought me out way up at Grand Army Plaza. I probably ran about 2 1/2 miles consecutively, then walked for 1/2 mile, then ran for another 1/2 mile. So I did what I intended to do-ran farther-even if I didn't mean to. I ran beside another girl on the hills who pushed me to keep running a little faster than I wanted to but I was happy for the push. But then I bailed. Not really sure why when I think about it.
Maybe next weekend I'll go for the whole loop.

Middle Loop
So I went up one more loop today.
May 7: Middle loop of Prospect Park (1.9 miles)
Felt good. Headphones broke halfway through so it was a little annoying to carry my cellphone without any music (and without being on call). Think I'll continue to up my miles now that it's nice out again. Bright blue sky, green trees, lots of pollen...
Day 857.

Exciting Vacation Days
May 5: Prospect Park 1 mile
Then it was off to the DMV, to Davis Vision for new glasses, and then back to the apartment with the intention of cleaning that ended up being lounging around.
May 6: Prospect Park Lower Loop
That was after cleaning the apartment. All that's left is a pile of papers to file at my feet which may be tomorrow's task. I still need to do my grocery shopping and return some bottles and maybe get new running shoes. But maybe that'll be tomorrow. :)

VA, DC, NJ, NY
May 2: Around the block by the hotel in VA - before the conference
It's a good thing I decided to run early. Turns out LanNa was at the conference and we decided to go visit Shelly in VA Monday night. I got a hotel room in DC for Monday night and off we went - got back at 2 am.
May 3: Around the block in DC - ending at a Starbucks
Time: at least 10 minutes (3+ songs)
Then I did a little more of the conference on Tuesday, had drinks with Genevieve before leaving DC, and drove til I got tired. Ended up in Southern NJ. Got a hotel and went to sleep. Got up in the morning and started the drive home. Which worked for about a mile - til I hit a curb real damn good. Brought the car to the shop in NJ and got new tires, front end alignment, something else...all to the tune of $800. Then I finished my drive home.
May 4: Around the block in Brooklyn
So my "vacation funds" have now been spent on my car. Which means I'm in Brooklyn for the next 4 days. And one thing on the list is to make a budget. Not fun. :(

May Day
April 30: Prospect Park - with the cyclists again
Then I got in my car and drove to Baltimore to hang out with Leigh and Carin and all the small children they've produced. Mainly that Carin has produced (spontaneous triplets now all 1 year old). After a nice afternoon, it was down to DC to get settled in for the ACOG conference.
May 1: Around the block in Alexandria, VA (27th - 20th on Crystal Dr. back down S. Curtis through Crystal City) - somewhere around 1.25-1.5 miles
Too bad today was cloudy with occasionally rain showers. Wasn't feeling much like sightseeing. Got my pedicure, eyebrow and lip waxed and finally started to feel like a person again. Then came back to the hotel and took a nap. Tomorrow, it's up early to run, pack, check out, go to the conference, and then head back to NYC.
