One Run, One Meal, One Day

Vacation Time

Off for 5 nights in Vegas for my father in law’s 65th birthday.  This will be the first time I visit Vegas and I won’t have a student’s budget.  Reservations have been made for 1 of my dream restaurants and at least 2 more will be visited.

Headaches and hangryness

In the acute care environment one thing I’ve learned is that you really do need to be flexible. When a code happens its usually at what could be perceived as the most in opportune time. When a code is sandwiched between two mandatory bed meetings one which happens during prime morning coffee time and the other at high noon it’s highly unlikely eating is going to get bumped to low priority.

When 530am is the last time I ate and Im finally walk away from working at 1430. I’m going to be hungry. So hungry in fact that I’m hangry and then I get a headache which in turn magnifies the hanger. So now I am sitting waiting for my husband. Also know as my ride home and he got delayed by an hour so I’m writing this grumpy whiny post.

The plan was a 1700 gym class but its likely to be changes to a run

Tomorrow morning

We race our own 8km.  Back on the racing horse after a 365 day race absence.  Then we ride along the marathon course to cheer on all those we have run along side.  Including my mama who is harbouring dreams of a 3:50 marathon.  5 minutes sub her BQ.  She is an amazing mom, athlete and women.  So I will be there cheering her on in her quest.  

No matter how many times.

You fall off the horse, it’s about how many times you can dust yourself off and get back on.

I’m slowly getting my running mojo back and with that I’m also getting my crosstraining and eating all the good things mojo back. I needed a clean break mentally from before so I have resumed myfitnesspal with a new username. Friend me at fitnhealthyRN should you please.

Today on my coffee break or supper break since lunch is almost over ill be working on a training plan for the next month. I’m working a full time line at the hospital for about 5 weeks and its mon-fri 7-3. No nights! So hopefully I can set the habits now before I go back to casual land and work all over the place.

Believe in Blue!

Born and raised in the land of the blue and green, even when they were in the hideous black, yellow and orange “v” jerseys.  This may not be the team that took us to the Stanley Cup playoffs a couple of years ago, but one day it will be our time.  

Hey…if the Leafs can finally make the playoffs again.  The Canucks can certainly win the Stanley Cup!
