World of Hurt
This morning I had a nice 60 min run in the dark, early coolness. It was only in the mid 50s which felt great! And I saw a beautiful sunrise.
Then I went to work. Today I had to go to the pychiatric hospital that is attached to the hospital that I work at, to see a patient. After the day I was having, let's just say, I felt like staying there! In all seriousness though, I remembered once again that mental illness is very sad. Institutionalized mental illness is even more sad. I know that they don't want my pity, but it's hard not to feel badly for their situation.
Then I came home. For some of this:
Ouch! You may or may not be able to make out the look of pure hurt on my face but it's there. And by the time I was done, my face was the color of my top. Those trainer workouts will get you every time!
Good night everyone!

trainer rides kill me! I always ditch for the outside.. then end up not finishing the actual workout. My coach loves me ;)
I love early morning runs! And it sounds like you really help people.. it must be hard to see the sadness sometimes though.

Beth,
I'm back home and just catching up on your blog. You do not look like you are in a world of hurt here, so I'm just going to have to trust that it was painful. Mostly you look like a super tuff girl! :)
Your blog entry about the neverending pasta bowl dinner was hilarious, especially the part about O eating 4 bowls of pasta total. Holy moly!
Also, I empathize with you and your not being able to get into any pools for swimming. When my local gym unexpectedly shuts or a piece of equipment is out of order, I nearly cry. Sooooo frustrating.
I hope you're well, Beth!
