Bad bad day at work yesterday. First a drowned 3 year old followed by a futile resuscitation. Pumped that kid full of just about every drug in my arsenal on the way to the hospital. Less than 5 hours later took a pulseless, apneic 3 week old out of its screaming mother's arms and attempted yet another futile resuscitation. Neither kid made it. Two pediatric codes in one shift is rather unusual. Didn't sleep much last night, finally got up. Ankles need a break from camber on the dirt roads and my foot doesn't like asphalt so went to the rubberized track at the high school. Ended up doing a little speed just to break up the monotony. Ran 4.5 slow, then a 91 second 400, 400 recovery, 90 second 400, 400 recovery, 34 second 200, 200 recovery, must be tired now 36 second 200, jogged a few miles, 88 second 400, this one felt much easier than the other two, jogged a mile to cool down. Then slipped off my shoes and socks and did a quarter mile barefoot on the astroturf. Felt pretty good.
