Quick run...knee exploding...these things are related

Today was a rough day, mostly because it consisted of lectures all day long. I don't know who set up the schedule, but that was rude.

Anywho, the really talkative doctor lectured us in the morning and the more-to-the-point doctor lectured us in the afternoon and thus we were able to get out an hour early. That meant that I had about two hours between lectures and getting back to the hospital for my night shift. So, I decided to hit the gym for a half hour and just do some running. I didn't have a whole lot of time, so I decided a half hour was better than nothing. I was pretty slow. I started out at 4.7 mph, went all the way down to 4.2 mph for a bit and then went up and down as I felt necessary. I sprinted the last 30 seconds at 7.0 mph. I really like sprinting - it's nice to feel as though you can go fast.

And I just want to take a moment to congratulate myself for going to the gym rather than sitting on my ass.

But, now my knee is super painful and has exploded. It's swollen and I really should be icing it, but I just got home from the hospital and am going to head straight to bed since I have to be back at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow.

Here are some food pics since I was able to eat two meals at home today!
Grapes + toast, egg, and a slice of cheese 
Homemade flatbread pizza - so worth the calories
See you guys tomorrow. Hopefully this inflammation will go down with some liberal use of ibuprofen. Silly knees.
