Saturday Run

HEy to all you bloggers.....if there are any.....where are ya'll.....come on get back to it.....!!!!
Today's run..was good.....glad it was early...got home...watering flowers...and considering planting a few.....not sure i can talk myself into it...............the other consideration is going to the swimming pool and vegging..........which sounds pretty nice....

hope your memorial day is great...i have to work tomorrow....hope the babies will know it is a holiday instead of coming in with the rain................not in the mood for tons of work......1 or 2 will be fine.......no emergencies.......probably just jinxed myself...........ohhhh welllllll..............

back to running...well..not hurting when we left...but now my left knee...is aching...going to take some advil.....and do one of the above.....or just go take a nap..............hmmmm...that really sounds like the best thing to do...................c u next week at the race...patti g.

Thursday

Anybody want to drive from j'son to vicksburg and run at 5 am every morning......?....i needed a partner yesterday and today....ran the same time...but i think it is because i just get warmed up and then i have to stop....didn't get going to til 5:30.....made it around in the same time....but it seemed harder.......it will be good to run the long run i think....so i know that i can still do it.....
that probably sounds stupid...but sometimes it is so easy....and then like today and yesterday...NOT.......going to work....hope your day is good....patti g.

on the road

HEY to all you bloggers.....back on the road...not a long run...up at 5:15...3miles....slow and easy...plan to try to bike a little somewhere during the day..24 hrs. of call...and praying i don't get called in...altho' the schedule is full...and the docs...feel the need to slam us on Tuesdays....It makes for a nutty day.....
oh well..back to running..tight today.....and achy...but the time went by..5:1...and wishing i could do the 3 more..but the kids need to get going...think i am going to have to start getting up earlier so I can run a good 50 min...instead fo the 35....or 40....

need to buy some more jelly beans for my reward.....
hope you all have a good day....patti g.

Tuesday cont'd

WHAT a day..!!!....crazy at the hospital.....no time for much....2 pts. sent to j'son....3 pts on pitocin...inducing ...and no one changing til 7....got home at 7:45....ran 2 miles......then stopped, by a friend from work who wanted to talk...so the total for the day was 5.5 miles...wanted to get the whole 6 in...cause i am thinking tomorrow will have to be my rest day.....i am totally tired...!!!........

i am sitting here eating my hand full of jelly beans....pretty good.....and wondering if i can drag myself up in the morning.....it is a shame my kids have to go to school............i feel like just letting them miss...but no......can't do that.....so off i go now to my own bed.........hope you all have a nice day ....plg

Tuesday....

Up and at 'em this morning....me and the gray fog....all alone out there.....it was soooo nice....cool and just right....I still did not run as well.....but much better than yesterday...couldn't do all that I wanted to do...12 hrs today...and I know it will be a busy day already....have my pt. and someone to orient.......

back to running...may try to go tonight..cause it makes me feel so much better if i am not too tired.....15 yr old has to tryout for the cross country team today...it is such a good team....he has not been running enough....hoping he will do ok....he is 15 and thinks he can just go out there and do it....and he probably will...don't want him to hurt himself tho'.....

off to the trenches....no rain..no big weather changes...so maybe it will not be too hectic in labor and delivery......have a good one...patti g.
