Intern(s)

A few months back I agreed to accept a student/intern. On Monday, my intern arrived. I have these Zac Braff (JD on Scrubs) inspired visual episodes of what people imagine when they hear 'intern'. It's not the scenario of Meredith and Christina (Grey's Anatomy) walking in to find their interns operating on cadavers, nor is it JD hiding from his interns in the supplies closet or giving pet names like "Snopp Dogg intern".

It is weird to think that I was in the same boat just 3 years ago. It's even more weird to think they allow ME to have an intern.....I am supposed to know something? I am supposed to help her develop her skills? yikes. She will be with me for 12 weeks, and I am thinking it's going to be a long 3 months. First....marathon training(running in March). Seconds....studying for my test (in March) Third....having an intern.....until March! Seriously, by the time March is over I will be SO ready to zone out.

Good news is that I had my first speedwork day of my new training program. I had to run 2, 1 mile intervals at a 7:22 pace with 1/2 mile rest in between for a total of 6 miles. Luckily I had my incredible training partner on his bike cheering me and pushing me to accomplish this. It felt really good. I am also happy that I get to run again tomorrow :) I sure miss my running when I take 2 days a week to cross train.

On the studying front.....it's great that I can use the time on the trainer 2 days per morning to study. I am making fair progress and it also helps that I can "pimp" the student and actually know what I am talking about :)

Hope the week is treating you all well.....it's been a long one for me.....but alas the end will signal one week closer to April!
