Do the locomotion with me

I've gained some momentum and, although I am terrified, I'm committed to this bad boy. The end of last week was rough. Although Friday was technically a rest day, I was feeling good and was going to get at least a short run in, but was also going to attempt a longer run. I had a friend coming to stay for the weekend and wanted to try to complete my long run before she came. Unfortunately I had the bright idea of eating a giant bowl of pasta and tuna before running. Despite waiting over an hour before setting out, 25 minutes in to the run I definitely thought I'd see that tuna again. So my attempted long run turned into a short, extra run.
Saturday was going to be attempt #2 at a long run. However, a very fun Friday night left me dragging on Saturday morning. No run on Saturday.
By Sunday I had my act together. Got my long run in. To prevent abandoning my guest, I ran on the treadmill in the gym while she worked out as well. So this 5 miles was maybe a little easier than the 5 miles outside my home with hills to climb, dogs to avoid, and random obstacles to jump over. Yet it was still a victory for me. I ran continuously for 56 minutes, which is a personal record for me.


School has been very hectic. The cardiovascular block we had just beat me down. I didn't like the material, the way it was presented or the organization of that part of the course. It wasn't that I couldn't learn the material, it was that I REALLY didn't want to. Then, after dealing with some personal issues over the long weekend, had only a few days to cramp for another test. Now we come to one of the hardest sections of the course. The kidney is complicated, but our professor, the "Renal Wrangler", makes it 123189732 times more complicated. He expects everyone to be logical. I can do that, but he equates logic with physics and calculus. I can't do that. Thus I embark on a 5 day study marathon. I am very far behind due to my friend visiting this past weekend.
I overslept today. I do not go to lecture, so I'm not technically missing out on anything but time. I will let me breakfast hit bottom, run, then head to the library until about 5pm. I have a practice patient interview tonight, and then home to do laundry or study or whatever the spirit moves me to do.
