“christmas wrappings” by the waitresses.
7. What do you prefer to drink in the morning?
coffee, of course.

16. Current worry right now?
that the presentation i am leading today will be too short, too boring, or unsatisfactory in some other way.
17. Current hate(s)right now?
honestly, i sort of hate the rotation i’m on. don’t get me wrong, i LOVE the hours, but i don’t feel like i’m really learning enough (or being useful enough) to be spending all day in clinic.
18. Favorite place to be?
in bed.
19. How did you bring in the New Year?
in miami with turducken and the usual panacea of resolutions

i hate when they ask things like this. who writes these things, anyway?

an extremely cute 10 year old cleft palate patient that was full of hi-jinks

i broke my thumb in 10th grade doing a back handspring into a table. that was radiographically the most impressive, but i was probably more upset about 2007’s achilles tendonitis or 2008’s mysterious hip problems, both of which caused me to miss marathons i had worked hard to train for. OUCH.

workout: 8.6 miles total (i switched friday’s speed run with yesterday’s hill run). on the TM at 0.5%:
– 3 miles @ MP (8:41/mi)
– 4 x 800m @ cruise interval pace (7:53/mi), 2 minutes jogging between each
– 3 miles @ tempo (8:19/mi).
i’m not going to lie — the last mile or so was rough! but i pulled through.
doin’ time: sorry, no new pix today. it was leftovers night!
reading: something about having this presentation looming over me has sapped my motivation to do anything else. at all.

2 things that I thought when reading this post:
1. You are strong-25 ‘man’ pushups!
I hope the presentation goes great!
hi sarah. you know i read your blog faithfully but missed the boat on the comment fest. fyi you are not my loudest friend, by a long shot!
d10: thank you!
inmytummy: i’m not that loud (although volume definitely escalates with a little wine). but i think i just have friends who tend to be quiet!
kim: thanks! i’m really not that strong. somehow pushups just aren’t so hard for mr!
jennyN: thanks darling!
aron: to be fair, i don’t usually do all 25 in a row — just 12 and then 13 🙂 as for the tv, i still get my fill of trash via the computer! but i think it makes me consciously choose to watch the trash rather than just do it ‘cuz it’s easy and available!
jess and cindy: see above reply 🙂 don’t worry, i still get my ANTM — via download!
da: genetic or environmental? hard to say . . .
atilla: yes i luuuv the reese’s. especially on vanilla TCBY!
vickie: yeah, but you have WAY louder friends than i do. and you’re hyper, but not that loud. except for sometimes 🙂
Were you a gymnast or was the handspring random?
Also, I read your follow-up post. I have a TV, but we actually have an antenna. It’s so … retro. And, I cannot do 2 man pushups. How did you learn?
