I finished the Trifecta. It hurt. :) I don't know my exact finish times, but I know that I ran the one mile race (which is the last of the races) in nine and some change. And that was after two other races totaling 9.3 miles. Nine minute miles may be slow to some people, but it makes me feel like a rock star.
More soon, gotta write a paper now...

Riverbank Run 2008
Tuesday, April 22, 2008
It's a two shirt weekend.
I have the Relay for Life Friday night, then the Riverbank Run on Saturday. I'm not sure where I'm going to stash all of my tees...
Last year I ran the 10k at the Riverbank Run. It was my first road race - the one that got me hooked. This year I am doing the same event as Luis, the Trifecta. At the Riverbank they have three races - a 10k, a 5k, and a one mile fun run. The Trifecta is when you run them all.
Awesome.
(For those not familiar with kilometers - a 10k is 6.2 miles; 5k is 3.1.)
On Sunday MSNA is holding a Kiss the Pig party. We have a voting box set up in our student lounge, and our professors graciously agreed to let us vote on which of them should kiss a pig. MSNA did this fundraiser a couple of years ago, and it went over well. I decided we should do it again this spring, mostly because it sounded like fun. :)
This will be the last event I coordinate as president of MSNA. I'm a little sad to see the end, but I'll be glad to be free of one of my obligations. I anticipate more free time after this week...
Okay, it's late and 5:00 comes pretty danged early... off to bed!

Tomorrow...
...is my last day of clinicals for the semester. Hallelujah!
I'm in the emergency department this week. It kind of rocks. Not particularly what I want to do once I graduate, but it's a great learning experience.

Refreshed.
After two good nights' sleep, I'm finally starting to feel less frantic. It's been a crazy week month semester, but I'm finally feeling caught up. Mostly. Except for these two papers I still have to write, and the group project we're presenting this week, and...
(well, almost caught up.)
Only three more weeks of classes, and then finals. And then graduation. I'm not actually done with school, but the College of Nursing only graduates people in the spring - we have to choose whether we'd like to walk a semester before we're finished, or five months after we're finished. It seems silly to do either. To do it before seems sort of anticlimactic, but wait five months after and I doubt I'll care at all. However, I've been in college forever, and I think the whole cap and gown thing will bring it to a nice close for me. So long as I remember to come back in the fall...
I'd love to stay and chat, but it's 60° and sunny outside. My running shoes are calling to me...

Here, then gone.
Erica and David left this morning - I can't believe thirteen weeks have come and gone. After their first week in town, it felt to Luis and me as though they'd always been here. I've known them for so long now... I have lots of great friends in Montana, but there's something particularly special about old good friends.
They ended up living in our apartment complex - convenient while they were here, but a little sad now. I imagine it'll take me a week or two to stop looking for her car as I walk out to get my mail.
Sad to see them go, but it was wonderful while it lasted. :)
