Hills suck

Running

3/19 - Cary March Madness Half marathon 1:49. Last year I ran it in 1:51. It is a very hilly race and I have come to the conclusion that my body was not made for hills. My pr is over 8 minutes better on flat ground. Additionally, I am clearly not at my peak, but I was better prepared for this race than last year. Last year, I didn't appreciate how many hills were at the end and didn't pace myself. This year, I realized all the people yelling "This is the last hill" were all lying.

Lunch at Tracks. The same place we went last year. Realized that weekend was the first time I met many "V-teamers" and also met RFS and his wife N. In fact we all went to dinner the night before. Good times.

Life:
3/16 - lost my first patient on the table. Details are not appropriate for a blog. But just remember that life is short. And, that there are probably very few people that had a shi$$ier day than I did on Thursday. Mind you, I've had patients die. That comes with the territory. But, I have never had one die during a procedure.
