Life has been pretty busy this past week.  Mostly work, which is starting to burn me out a little bit.  I have my weekends off, which I am so thankful for.  If it weren't for weekends, I would lose my mind.  Especially this week, I have been running my butt off at work to get everything done.  It is really tough, and I feel the stress of it.  I almost cried today when I got another patient, and I already had 2 I was finishing up on.  I really wanted to call it quits for the day at that moment, but the patient ended up being really really sweet, which was a nice blessing.

I did not get my coffee this morning...that will never happen again.  

I am running the River Run in 3 weeks.  It is a 15K, or 9.3 miles for you non metric users.  I ran 7 miles last night in prep for it, and will have 2 more long runs before the race.  Other than that, I'm just running shorter distances.  Once I get past 4 miles, I am pretty much ok.  The initial part is hard.  I am looking forward to it, it is a fun race to run.  And its the only one I train for really.  One of these days, maybe this year, I am going to do a marathon.  I really need to start mapping out some routes outside to run.  Most of my training is on the treadmill because I do not have someone to run that long of a distance with me.  I was followed when I ran around my neighborhood, and it still freaks me  out a little.  Maybe I will venture out soon enough.

This weekend I am a Johnson, as I am staying with my friend, Kelly and her baby, for the weekend.  Now if only my laundry would dry, I could get over there!!
