Hump day?  Already?  Ok.  I’ll roll with it.  Wait I just realized that it’s Tuesday….

I’ve so far ran 5 miles.  Accomplished day already.

I’m waking up on my own minutes before 5 am now.  What have I done to myself??  I rolled out of bed, turned off my set alarm, and sliced 2 slices of extreme cinnamon and smeared cookie butter on each.  I sat down on my living room floor and checked the radar.  No clouds coming my way! 

And then in typical fashion I got dressed, forgot my deodorant, and set out to run. 

Mile 3 was a tiny struggled as you can tell.  I was still finding my groove at that point.  I finished drenched in sweat. 

Sweat is the perfect agent for eyeliner removal.

I’m indifferent about my results.  I’m primarily pleased that I’m just getting myself out of bed on and shoes on.

Long day at work yesterday!  I made up a to-do list beyond my scheduled patients.  I had a few open slots and no-shows, so I had extra time to get my “other work” done.  Other work included PowerPoint medical student case study, 9 meal rounds, and 1 test tray!  I may have had to stay at work for an extra 45 minutes, but I completed 3 huge projects.  I also scored delicious fruit and granola from the test tray.

I snuck the granola back with me.

The day was great despite not bringing my clean (read: white!) lab coat back to work.  When I went over to cardiac rehab I had to throw my chapstick, calculator, pen, highlighter, badge, etc into…a hairnet!  I didn’t have any pockets, so I made it work!  I tried to tuck everything into a drawer upon arrival but one of the nurses caught on to me quickly.  She started cracking up while taking a patient’s blood pressure and said, “Is that what I think it is?!”  She thought it was a surgical cap.  Same thing.  She nabbed it on the way out and had the other girls check it out.  I have no shame with my make-shift pencil case.

5:45 O’clock

Luckily Aaron had work to do after work, so I was able to take a 20 minute breather after getting home.  I was exhausted.  What’s new?

I began on dinner by chopping vegetables.  I found the squash to have a brown ring around the peel. 

Normal?  I tossed it. 

Once my dinner guest showed up, I suggested we drink a kolsch since they are best fresh.

We split this while I focused primarily on water.

I forged on with potatoes, romaine, and salmon after the minor squash set back.  Per usual, Aaron covered the fish.  He went for a chili-lime flavor.  I went with it.

The side salad was topped with a balsamic-olive oil dressing that I whipped up, goat cheese, and walnuts.  Dinner was eaten while watching the Olympics.  Missy Franklin brought tears to my eyes.  And then minutes later before 9 pm, my eyes were glued shut.  Typical.
