8 years ago

8 years ago i was sitting in a library studying for classes during my last semester of college.
8 years ago i was watching the polls wondering what was going to happen in an election. the watching and waiting then continued for several more weeks as chads were counted, and recounted.
8 years later, i am closer to finishing residency. closer to trying to find a job.
8 years later, i am watching the polls again, wondering if the country is going to get "right" this time.

the several weeks following the ironman were rough. between being on call at county...q3 should be abolished, it really just cannot be good for the body in any fashion - and the total body destruction involved, and the physical recovery following the race, and just wanting to chill out, i did approximately no physical activity for about a month and a half. this past week i have started to get into training again. i have gone running the past 4 days in a row, not huge miles but somewhere around 3 miles a day. i feel great. i have been smiling, running with friends, getting back into the swing of things. i am looking forward to putting on the miles again. next step is to start riding my bike again, the trainer is itching to be used.

game on

314 days to go
