Welcome. With that schedule, I suggest sitting in the back row of all your classes and sleeping (not that I did that of course.)

thanks everyone for the replies and welcoming me in. I liked the suggestion of sleeping in the back of class...however I am determined to make a difference in this world in the health field and to do that I need to stay awake. Needless to say I have learned to like coffee, somewhat. The campus bookstore has it for free, makes it that much better!
Kylille- good luck in IMLou. Its going to be a hot one. Why they have it in Aug is beyond me, the humidity is horrible. But the course will be awesome. You will do great!
Ok, time for me to get to the pool, I am on spring break this week, so I refuse to get up at 4a :D

Thanks! And yeah... the humidity will be tough. Heat I can train for a bit (it was 96 here this weekend) but humidity is a whole other beast :)

Yay for spring break! Welcome back to the world of training and making other people think you're insane. I pretty much know where you're coming from: 3rd year law school, 25 hours a week interning, plus training (13:10 this week). Whoever said it was all about balance never had any fun.

Welcome. Great to have you aboard.
Training is a nice release from all the classwork,
just don't burn yourself out.

The city of the Kentucky Derby, KFC, the world's largest importer of whiskey, and most important...home of the first IM Louisville!
Actually, I don't live in the city, but its the closest city around and I work and go to school and train in Louisville. I am a first year graduate student, working on my Master's in Public Health. Its an intensive two year program and then another 3 years to get either a DrPH or a PhD. Basically this program takes up all my time. I am in school or studying 40 hours (or more, depending on the material) a week. I have a job through the school as a researcher on an asthma project. I am on the student government board (Treasurer) and organize a running club at the school for Public health, nursing, dentists, and medical students.
When I am not doing all that, I am training about 12 hours a week (working on increasing the time). I have completed sprints and olympic distances and was hoping to go for a HIM this year, but an injury (chrondromalacia of the patella) has side lined me since November. I have been released and started back to training for the past 2 weeks. Its been a slow so far, but I'm getting there. I rise and shine at 4am to get to the pool by 5 before classes, which after eight hours of being in class and then coming home to get in another workout and study for awhile, leaves me pretty exhausted by 9p. But its all worth it, I LOVE working out, gives me a chance to relax.
So that is me in a nutshell. Good to be here!
