Today's Accomplishment is...

I was going to ramble a bit about Susan Komen and Planned Parenthood, but that was quickly turned around.


Now what?

Oh yea. I ran a 15k today (about 9miles)
I PLACED 2nd!

Wahoo. Was not expecting that. It was great. All of this work now feels validated. 1 month into the New Year and I've already met a goal of placing in a race. Sweet. Now I can smooth sail the rest of the time.

I did however cause a bit of an issue at the Awards Ceremony.
Sadly, this want not the first time this has happened...




It's nice to get this sort of validation. From my thesis work I'm learning the importance of instant feedback to my generation (Millennials FTW!) Now, society is not exactly set up for instant gratification or feedback (unless you've been sucked into facebook et al.)
This is exactly why I try not to get too involved in social media. Life does not happen instantly. It takes a long time to become good at something, or learn most things of value.
Running is like that.
It took me 1hour and 34 minutes, but it felt really good.

If only it could be faster...

My how we've grown

For once it's not sideways...
I've been laying on the floor for about 30minutes re-reading some of my old blogs. Interesting to see where life has taken me in a year.

I've still got half a year on this
EMR business and by the time thats over I'll have my MSN in education.

Who knows what I'll be doing professionally.

I've got a half-marathon in 4 weeks and plans for a triathlon in 9months.

I think I'll make a concentrated effort at a well researched post tomorrow.

Probably something about Womens Heart Health. (National "wear something red day")

Be ready for it.

CME

For the those lucky people who don't have to know what CME is, it is Continuing Medical Education. I listen to some podcasts that give me the option for free CME, Medscape sends me free CME quizzes, and I can go through my works' web portal for free CME but I really feel that I should get CMEs simply by sitting on my couch while these beautiful people I live with study.
Really, every nurse should live with med-students. One really gets a good idea of the hell they go through. The HESI was nothing.
Keep on keeping on doctors.

However, I'm still going to call you a 1 am if you forgot to write orders.

Testing

Testing the blogger app, because... Maybe we're doing this thing again.
