I totally wore myself out, I think. Tuesday I went to a fitness session for rugby in which we just ran sprints (it really wasn't too bad, but my thighs were SO sore from Sunday's practice, and during the last sprint, they turned to jelly) and then went immediately to the school fields for Ultimate, in which I ran the entire game because there were ( Read more... )

I'm feeling so goddamned content right now. I'm taking a break from perusing some entries from 2010 and seeing how far I've come (and how much has stayed constant) in five years. I also just woke up from a fantastic nap after eating a pretty decent-sized cookie cake. Because apparently I have a huge desire to get diabetes.

Bootcamp continues to ( Read more... )

 I FINALLY got all caught up during my drive to practice on Monday (and got to hear the preface of the last two episodes: so NOW that I'm ALL caught up and waiting for new episodes, THEY'RE TAKING A BREAK?!?) and, holy shit. I have to admit, I was hesitant to get back into it because I forgot how good it was and thought music was a more interesting ( Read more... )

OMG. So third year of med school took me COMPLETELY out of the loop because apparently James Spader had been in a series filmed last year that I had NOT heard about until earlier this week. I looked it up and it looked...meh. But it had James Spader in it, so I gave it a shot and HOMG. The Blacklist was EXCELLENT. Fantastic characters/cast all ( Read more... )

OMG. Rugby. It's been over THREE YEARS since I last played seriously. And HOMG. I missed it SO MUCH. I'm loving the two practices we've had and the 3 hr round trip is SO WORTH IT. The team is great and super talented and nice as hell. I'm also not nearly as rusty as I feared I'd be. My ball-handling skills are definitely decent. My tackling needs ( Read more... )

...I'm writing this, because this morning was absolutely mortifying. I haven't exactly had all my marbles accounted for lately (for many reasons, the most prominent of which is probably all these exams) but today. Just wow. At one point, I literally thought I was on the other team during a scrimmage. After that, I started stall-counting someone who ( Read more... )

It's been almost a month since I've last posted and, of course, so much has happened in that time: my godfather went insane and then missing, I was approached by a total stranger in a bar and asked to dance (and my reflexive assholery took over), I practically joined another intramural Ultimate team (and have way more fun playing with them then my ( Read more... )

I pretty much took the week of Spring Break off after straining a muscle in my foot after impromptu hiking in Arkansas. It's amazing what 6-ish days of not working out will do to you. I was dying after only 5 miles on rollerblades Sunday and could barely do 1 lap around campus (though I did beat my best mile time by a second). Then, yesterday we ( Read more... )

We played the club team in Ultimate on Tuesday and...we actually won. This a feat once considered impossible, but with the combination of some of the most talented players, the fact that they had literally just finished a previous tough game and were exhausted, and that they played 3 girls on the field to our two, we managed to do so. It was quite ( Read more... )

I think it's getting longer and longer between posts.

I blame Tumblr. I spent pretty much all of Thanksgiving being either absurdly busy with home stuff (and absolutely NO school associated things, which was awesome and something my brain really needed) or browsing Tumblr's "fitspo" tag and various "fitblrs". And it got me a bit inspired. Yes. I'm ( Read more... )
