Movin' & Groovin'

It seems my blog posts are getting more and more sporadic as time goes by.  As life would have it, I am officially in week 9 of my 12 week fieldwork experience.  There has been a lot of cool stuff going on.  Mostly, I am proud of the fact that I am training and working hard for my first marathon in November.  It's going to be pretty amazing in the way that something brutal and physically painful can be.

This past weekend I ran more miles in two days than in some previous months.  Saturday I ran a whopping 16.2 miles.  Yes, that's right - 16.  I am so proud of myself.  A year and a half ago I was almost 100 pounds heavier and could barely run a mile.  Now I'm running more than I've ever dreamed.  I absolutely love running and am so blessed to enjoy something so healthy for me.  So Sunday, I ran 9 miles and then Monday I ran 4.5 miles.

It was a brutal weekend.  I took Tuesday off and finally my legs have recovered.  Just in time for me 8.2 mile run this morning.  If you couldn't tell, my life literally revolves around the miles I have to run.  But I like it that way.

On another note, I am absolutely loving acute care and am hoping to get a job in that setting when I graduate.  In fact, right now there is an open position in Richmond where I ultimately want to get a job.  I'm hoping to talk more with my manager about it and see what positions will be open in the long run.

Lastly, I have been having so much fun since KIMMY came back from Maine.  I didn't realize how sad and lonely I was when she left for her summer break.  Though, I'm glad she had time off to relax and spend time with family, I am selfishly pleased that she's back in Richmond.  We've been doing a lot of fun things.

Love it. That's all for now.  Hopefully, I'll be back soon.
