Thank you, thank you, thank you, my dear running buddies, for making me feel better after that last post! You guys are seriously the best!! :-)
Tonight I went back to school for the first time in nearly 10 years. It's still hard to believe that it has been so long since I graduated (May 1998 to be exact). I am taking one biology class this semester to get my feet wet again. It's a good thing, because it looks like it might be slightly more difficult than I expected. We have to do a semester project and present it to the class in December. The last biology class I took (pretty sure it was either 1994 or 1995) didn't require any kind of project, so I was a little surprised to learn of this tonight. Well, I am ready to tackle whatever this teacher (note for Lynn: her name is Jen Westenberg, if you're reading this) throws at me.
Anyway, Mondays are my "short" night, with only an hour of lecture. Wednesdays will be the test, as I will have an hour of lecture, a 1/2 hour break, and then nearly three hours of lab. I hope the labs will be interesting enough that the time will fly by, because I have had boring labs before (Sierra College, chemistry, fall 1993, before I went away to university. Ugh) and they suck. This teacher seems pretty cool though, so I bet it will be OK.
She did assign some reading, so I completed it while riding the stationary bike tonight. Consequently, my pace suffered. That's OK. Two birds, one stone.
Today's stats:
Bike:
Time: 40 minutes
Distance: 10.2 miles

Holy cow, I don't know how you read something you had to pay attention to while on the bike. Between the riding and the sweating, I don't think I could do it.
My hat is off to you! That's a lot of school and dedication to it! I have enough problem completing a 8wk online class, with lots of reading, easy tests, and easy assignments. Sounds like you're excited about it!!
Great job on your biking!! Are you doing it on a trainer/indoor cycle or outside? When I get back, I really need to up the mileage on the bike...
Hmmmm. I wonder if I could read while riding the bike outside? Nah, better not try it :-) You are all over this fun stuff aren't ya? Running, back to school, great family. You rock!!!
I don't think I could read anything that would take any real brain power on the bike either. Sounds like things are getting super busy at your house!
Hey, I am so psyched for you going back to school. I went back and got my doctorate after graduating college in 1990 - had two babies, moved, took a new job, and had to do rotations. My advice, one day at a time, and just put your dues in and get through it. You will be so proud at the end and it will have flown by!!
Dr. Bell :) I don't use that very often but seemed appropriate. YOU GO GIRL!!
Congrats Michelle!!! You are doing so well! Is there anything you can't do?!?
