Oh Dear, What did I get myself into?!

I just signed up for my first 5K today.  And the original date we wanted to sign up for sold out, so we luckily were able to nab spots for 2 week before.  I am feeling a mix of excitement and nausea right now.  We signed up with my friend and her hubby, and we named our team Punky Brewsters :)  I thought it was fitting for a color run in Milwaukee.  Plus, who didn't love Punky Brewster?  I know I did, she made me not hate my freckles so much when I was little.

I have unfortunately continued my spree of sucking.  My knee wasn't quite ready when I started my run/walk over again.  I added a glucosamine supplement to my morning regimen, and let my knee rest as much as I could between my shifts this week.  Thankfully, I have seen a great improvement as a result.  I actually am craving a run right now, and would be on a treadmill if my Grey's Anatomy and Scandal Season Finale's weren't on right now.  But definitely going tomorrow for sure.  My longtime friend told me she doesn't feel right when she misses her runs now, and its become part of who she is.  She had an even worse knee injury than I did when we were in high school, so I know if she can do this, I can.  She is my inspiration in such a large way in wanting to run, because she has shown me it is possible.

I am happy yet terrified all at the same time of this 5k, but I'm so unbelievably up to the challenge. :)

I am so happy my work week is coming to an end at my nursing job.  It's been hellish, I got so behind nearly every night in my med pass.  Then last night, I had to send my first resident out by ambulance.  It happened right before my shift was supposed to end, and I was already behind in my charting.  Sure, I could have let the nurse coming on take care of everything, but I just felt bad doing that.  Plus, I needed to see it through so I won't be as flustered next time it happens.  I didn't leave until nearly midnight, and then I got an ocular migraine while I was getting some gas.  When this happens,my eye sight is affected in whichever eye that it happens to.  So I had to sit for a while until it passed, but then I had a pounding headache the rest of the way home.  Luckily, Mike took today off to be with me, so it all worked out and we got to sleep in.

I am officially done with my nutrition class!!   I finished with an A. :)  It is pretty disgusting how little effort I needed to put into this class to get an A.  So now, I just have my work and more lovely, sweet free time to spend with my hubby......and running, of course! ;)
