My other love

No running for me today...instead I cycled my 6 year old on the tag-along to school...whilst she sat back and enjoyed her music on her MP3...

Start my set of night shifts tonight...always hate the thought of working 12.5hours through the night, but have to say it is doing the best thing in the world. As a midwife I get to be awake in the wee hours as a new life enters the world (under varying conditions obviously). You get to see life at its very basic level...you can look on in awe, you can count your blessings in sorrow, but best of all you can come away feeling like a you've made a difference every single shift!

Started a new diet in Feb....cutting right down on my alcohol consumption and eating sensibly...trying to ignore the junk food at work....have managed to dump a few pounds already. I'm not fat...but as far as my running goes, I think my body would appreciate a 10lb loss before I try running around a mountain for 26.2 miles!
