Rest day except for the 3 miles of walking to and from clinical (at the University Hospital).  Planned to go for a run in the evening, but my heels were tight everytime I stood up from sitting down.  This is either from a slight increase in running and/or from some water retention.  I ate 2 slices of pizza and 3 parmesan bread sticks on Monday night and it seems that anytime I eat what I call "vasoactive" foods :) (for me it's more than about 1500-2000mg of salt in a day or too much sugar) my injuries whine a little.  I don't know if it's all in my head, but I ate better on Tuesday and when I woke up this morning (Wednesday) nothing was tight so I went for a run.

It's getting easier!  Today's felt like last week's 9:40 or 9:50.

It felt good to get out before the world woke up and just go and enjoy a nice run to process all that has happened this week!  60 hours of work, clinical or capstone; all my classes, all my homework...no wonder why I was so exhausted every night!  James is just about as busy with his work and school...we both fell asleep early last night without even getting ready for bed or saying goodnight to each other!  Capstone is so incredible at the NICU.  It's a dream to me really!  I'm doing stuff and practicing new skills all day long.  And I'm in the high acuity room so they had me jump in right away!  Usually the students have to start in the back and work their way up, but since I've been there for 2 years, I get all the good stuff. It's a great payoff for sitting through hours of class, taking tests, doing my clinical hours at places I would never want to work...etc.  And it all starts again tonight! I don't know what I'm going to do with myself when I only have 36 hours of work each week after I graduate!
