I 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?

Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today!

MARATHON! Doooo itttttt. You can always aim for one towards the end of 2010 or something and that gives you loads of time to build up training around your schedule. It'd be an awesome achievement!

Yeeeeah.

Though, if I did do one? It'd be one of the Rock 'n' Roll marathons. It comes with built in music!

They look like awesome amounts of fun. I've only ever heard great thing about them! *encourages*

Except for that trifling detail of 26.2 miles. *fears*
