Spring is finally here!

I'm going to probably eat these words... But spring seems to have settled in Dublin. Not only do I have a horrible case of spring fever (I swear Tom, if you say anything I'll kill you), but my allergies have arrived, the temperature seems to be solidly above 7, I'm itching to clean EVERYTHING in sight, and I've picked up running again.

I actually just got back from my first run. I've dabbled on and off all winter on a treadmill with a few miles here and there, but let's be honest... For a road runner, it doesn't really count until you're on the road, pounding pavement. I've set the next goal as the Flora Women's Mini-Marathon on June 1st. It's a nice 10k that I've done in the past, and it strikes me as a good get-back-to-running for spring type of event. Plus, once I sign up for that, it'll keep me running in spite of OBGYN work bearing down on me. (let's not mention exams yet please?)

I bought a new pair of running shoes just before the marathon in Oct (No, I didn't run in them, lessons to that effect were learned in the past, thankyou), so they're being broken in. And, as I found out today... I have one page left in my running log. That means it's time for a new one. It's always exciting getting a new training log (until I fall behind in my writing...)

So... Here's to the idea of a new running day! Joy!

On to cleaning, moving, getting a car, setting up electives for the summer, Step 2s, the rest of my life... AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Ahem. Happy Easter!!! Tomorrow, in addition to Easter, my parents will be celebrating the sale of our house (it's been a long time coming) and their 29th wedding aniversary! They're a great team. I love them very much. And I don't think "Congratulations" is really the right sentiment. But I'm very very happy for them.

On to the studying...
