Jan. 7th, 2009 11:11 amI keep flirting with the idea of a marathon.
Which is ridiculous, I fully admit, considering 5K usually beats me into the ground because I can't ever convince myself that training runs at either 5:30am or 8pm are good ideas. Even if they are.
But I like the idea (and, pretty much, only the idea) of having run a marathon. It is impressive and big and everyone knows what the hell you mean by 'I ran a marathon', which can't be said for other things like 'I can play Mozart' or 'I can put in a triple-lumen catheter' or 'I can name all the bits of a particular bone'.
Sigh.
If I only had a will? Alas.
Though, watching 'Biggest Loser' is the hugest diet reinforcement tool going, I think. Old dude, you're adormidable, but it is all kinds of scary that you just about keeled over after five minutes of not-quite-exercise. I don't want to be there, ever.
In other news, my brain is bleeding from the beating it is getting in ICU rounds. Is brutal. And. Things. Clearly I am failing in coherent. And they're probably restarting now, so I should go and do that.
Edit: Evidently no rotation in ICU/Emergency is complete without feeling like an absolute idiot. Fun times. On the good side, I took a 20 minute walk outside at lunch go me?
