After we ran our 5K our goal was done. I hoped I wouldn't slack up, and so far so good. It always nice to have a goal. I want to stay in shape, but that isn't very definable. Still this week I managed to get myself to the gym quite often (and once where I really didn't want to go).
Today I ran 4 miles and feel quite great. My knees aren't sore and my body doesn't feel tired. It is nice to go this distance, but it can get pretty boring on a treadmill. I was watching a dumb movie with Jennifer Garner where her fiance dies and she falls in love with his best friend. Definitely a girly movie and not my type, but it was the best on (sorry to anyone out there that likes this movie). Toward the end of my run I just stared at the numbers. That's why outside is so much better. It is starting to get more cold here, but still no snow (which means I could still rake the leaves). I theoretically could run outside, but I can't get myself to do it.
With running, I am still a slow runner but I can go for longer periods of time. I am trying to decide if I should try to get faster or just keep going for distance and the speed will improve as I do. Not sure what one is the right one. hmmm.
This week and last week I've been battling a cold. I think it might finally be over. What a relief. When I go into patients room and cough and have a runny nose, it doesn't seem right. Also, it's tiring. Speaking of work, it's been quite a busy week. This was my first official week to start rounding at the hospital for the newborns. It was kinda fun but I had to wake up early. I got to do some circumcisions, and that is always great for me (I'm not being sarcastic). Even in the clinic it has been crazy. I think everyone now has the colds, ear infections, asthma flares, etc. I guess that is good business for me, right?
This week I also officially started making Christmas gifts. I am very excited about how they are turning out. Wish I could post a picture, but that would ruin it for some. I will just say that my sewing machine is NOT getting rusty. Last year I had to buy a new sewing machine and I really love the one I bought. I am starting to notice some small problems, but hopefully it will not affect things too much. The best part of my machine is the one touch threader. It makes life so much easier. I have a philosophy about sewing. It is not really about the actual sewing, but all the other things and how you trouble shoot. Every project inevitably has a problem, and it is how you fix that problem that makes you a seamstress. Case in point. I made Henry some corduroy pants that were to big in the waist. Had to do several alterations on the waist but it worked out.
Well my battery is low so I better end it.
