Just Around the Corner

According to the temperatures we’ve experienced here in Dayton, summer is just around the corner.  Several 80 degree days in April is just unheard of!  (but of course we’ll take it)  Third year is also just around the corner.  Right now we’re in Reproduction, which should be very interesting when we have the optional session next week on pregnancy termination.  I’m especially interested to see how some of our more liberal teachers respond to the conservative views on the issue held by myself and other classmates.  I finish classes in three weeks, take my term exam a week after that, and then boards in June.  I can’t wait to see how high anxiety gets then.  We pay (in time and money) so much to take and prepare for this exam – it’s the culmination of your pre-clinical years and the first major step towards a medical license.  Everything is going well.  We spent Easter over at the Barbaro’s, and it was a beautiful sunny day – we spent the day playing outside and getting some sun.  In our spare time, we’ve been taking Doc to the local dog park or going for hikes at the different metro-parks.

Also just around the corner is the Cleveland Marathon on May 16 – one month away.  My friend Jason (college housemate) and I will be running the marathon that day, while Megan (college/high school friend… also married to another college housemate    ) is running the half-marathon.  The Achilles problems haven’t been back to visit me, but shin-splints have.  I probably won’t be able to run what I was planning to (I cut my training back), but I believe I’ll still PR.  On other running notes, my aunt in the great state of Georgia has decided to get involved in fitness and running!  She’s running the Norcross Corners to Crossing 10K tomorrow!  Everyone should cheer her on tomorrow in your thoughts!  It’s great to hear about other people taking a vested interest in their fitness and I can’t wait to hear about her experience.

Until next time…

Out on a hike.
