Because I Got High...

Last night I had the best run of my life! I definitely had a "runner's HIGH," hence the blog title. I went to the gym to run on the treadmill (which I despise) but I felt great as I began running. I was planning on running 5 miles, but instead I ran 9 miles in 77 minutes. Which is very fast for me. Usually I run a 10 minute mile, but last night I felt like I had an out-of-body experience and ran at about 8.5 minute miles. Amazing! I am sure I looked crazy being on the tread for that long, but it was awesome. I wore some new bright orange shorts (thanks to Kailey seeing them on sale at Old Navy), so I am sure that made the difference in my running:) Anyway, I felt like a was on crack, but hey, this has never happened before, so I am going to enjoy this feeling as long as I can. Also, I usually do not listen to music when I run, but last night I got the I-Pod from the car and decided I needed it for the treadmill. The rendition of music I listened too was made up of only a few because I get addicted to listening to specific songs while running. I think I only listened to like 4-5 songs over the course of 77 minutes. I know, I am crazy but...'N-n-now what don't kill me, can only make me stronger', 'I got a feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night, tonight's gonna be a good, good night', 'Baby you can have whatever you like, I said you can have whatever you like, yeah'... just a small sampling. Well, I just thought I would share my special feeling after running but I am sure you all think I am a bit strange now more than ever. Oh well, just being honest.

Company Party

Last night, Denver Physical Therapy had the Company Celebration a.k.a. Christmas Party in January. Dave and I had a great time which is to be expected with my work. We all love to laugh and have a good time. We had dinner, drinks and Improv Comedy! Dave joined in on a skit where he was an Icelander named Ren. What is funny is that he wore that plaid suit jacket to the party and it fit perfectly into the skit.

Deal of 2010!

I just had to post this deal of the year (at least so far)... On New Year's Day, I went shopping with all the women in Dave's family/extended family. I was not too pumped to go, but after we got there, I got a shopper's high! I got this comforter set for $10 from Dillard's, yes, $10. It was originally over $300, but I think it was mismarked and I took advantage. I was pretty excited since I have not really bought anything for our bed because it is expensive and I had not found anything I could commit too, but for $10 I think I can commit. Here are the photos of the bedding. I really like it and it includes some accent colors which I love!!




On another note, Dave has started his surgery rotation at Rose Hospital. He has 8 weeks of general surgery then he has his last rotation of his third year which is OB/GYN. The start of his rotation has been extremely time consuming but over all he has enjoyed it. He scrubs in for all the surgeries and has been able to get his hands in there as well. I do not like him to tell me too many details, just in case I pass out :), but he has been able to assist the surgeons. I am surprised ho much they let him do, but it is great to start learning hands on. Right now, Dave is thinking more about Emergency Medicine (EM) as his specialty and will be in contact with a doctor that is at Wilford Hall in San Antonio. He gained this contact through a EM doctor he currently works with and he is excited to talk to an Air Force doctor that has gone through the residency program in San Antonio and also has been a practicing EM doc with the Air Force. I will keep you posted with any interesting information.

I have been keeping busy with work. We have to re-verify insurance for 2010, so this is very time consuming but it makes the days fly by. These next few weeks should be interesting with Dave being gone a lot, but I am looking forward to time to myself and hopefully visiting family.
