Thanks!  I get bored knitting scarves, so I'm trying other projects.  I've done a hat, too, and now I'm making a baby blanket for a friend.  I enjoy hats. They go very quickly and I think they'll make good presents. 

NEW 5K PR BY 30 SEC! 24:27

I never thought I would pull off a PR of this magnitude on a training run. Especially in wind, rain, and 20+ mph winds... 2/3rds of the run was in either a headwind or a crosswind. At one point, I was pulling a 7:15 mile pace into the headwind. Crazy, totally crazy. But I always seem to run well in the rain... and this is the first time I've stayed under 8:00/mi pace for ANY kind of run, like um, ever.

What's even more stunning is I did this the day AFTER running 10 miles and riding 20 on the drainer.

Hi Nibbs,

I give in...I am sick...cough, cough, sneeze, cough, hack some more... yes, I had to work today too because calling out sick on the weekend means you're going to be called in to the manager's office.  I was sicker than at least 70% of the people who came through with their "flu symptoms" as chief complaint.  And I was alone in triage with all these people who are essentially too stupid to live--no tech, no second RN.  The charge person was an angel though. She knew I felt lousy and had people with open rooms pulling pts out of the waiting room to keep the flow going...(this is one of the few charge people I actually have respect for)

Congratulations! What an awesome time to get your confidence up!

Yeah, you would THINK we could call out on a weekend, but it's like being in school and reporting to the principal's office for talking in class or something if you do.  SO not worth the aggravation.  I had hoped I could leave but there was no one to pull into triage for me without closing down beds and I didn't want to be the cause of an on call person having to come in
