Half-marathon and beginning rotations

Kit and I ran a half-marathon (13.1 miles) in Camas this morning. It wasn't too big of an event--only a couple of hundred people, as opposed to some of the other races I've done, with 10,000+ runners. Not too bad, although it did rain for the first six miles or so, and there was a massively huge hill at mile 12 (I walked up it--I'm a wimp, and was a tired one at that). In the end, I came in at 2:02, which is about nine minutes slower than my best, and Kit came in at 2:23. Not bad for a first half.
He was less than thrilled with me, as I'm sure you can tell.

How I'm able to smile after this is beyond me.

Anyway, that was pretty much all I've done the last few days. The parents went to Spokane for LeMaster and Daniels 100th year anniversary, and Alex left for Seattle on the 23rd (to get ready for the Olympics), so I had the house to myself until Kit showed up Saturday morning. I did a lot of reading, and that's about it.

Well, all lazy vacations come to an end, unfortunately. After dinner tonight I headed up to Tacoma (University Place, technically), where I'm staying with Ann and Norm for the month while doing a rotation in preventive medicine at Madigan. I in-process at 7:30 tomorrow, which means I need to leave here by 6:30 so I can be sure to get to Ft. Lewis, get through the gate, drive to Madigan, park, and get to the medical education office by 7:30. Fun, fun.
