Looking for help peeps..

Well Ya'll;
sorry a new phrase I learned at the Hurtz Review Course this week, helps for all RN Board applicants. The instructor was from Texas, was real cool, and a very smart woman. However, all she said was 'Ya'll'. This was a 'Ya'll', we were considered a 'Ya'll', organ systems, dates, times, and locations all seemed to turn into 'Ya'll. So, I paid $350 to walk away knowing how to use the word 'Ya'll'.

Actually I was attempting humor, she was an incredibly gifted Nurse Practitioner. I loved the was she simplified everything and had a very simple approach to things. She works in private practice and Teaches one week a month. She is married, has 2 teenage children and lives VERY comfortably. SOOOOOO. We got to talking. As to what areas she thinks "I need to be heading into". For me to "get to where I want to be" type of lifestyle. She recommended a couple of different options. One sounds interesting, so I am asking for some assistance from all my peeps. If you know of anyone involved in the Neuro/Trauma ICU Unit at UCLA Medical Center, or of anything similar; would you please ask them if I could contact them? It sounds very interesting, but a heck of a commute. Would love to know if it is worth it. But one year New Grad Program seems a bit long. It would be very appreciated.

On the second note I did not get done nearly as much as I wanted but had a blast playing "dad". I get to know her schedule and we play a lot. It is cool when they start to know 'who' is 'who'. She is not able to start her day without giving "daddy a smile". We went to coffee and read the paper. Sat morning however I was able to meet up with Tribuy's Team for a ride. I got ahead of one of the groups that was going to 'chill' cause they were running the Half Marathon in HB this weekend. And got on the wheel of a age-grouper from Carlsbad who just ran a 1:28 Half Marathon out for a "spin". Holy MOFO. Let's just say that for the record that I did kill my legs at the workout on Tuesday before, and was still hurting every time I got my ass on the roller. (In-case you don't know about the roller......... see a PT and bring a mouth piece cause it hurts, like hell..) Now I wanted to go out hard but maybe at half way. These boys bomb'd right away, and started adding more at every hill. What I didn't know was the plan. SO out of Dana Point we start down the trail south, to the Marine Base. We killed every hill, and drafted one another and even attacked a little to push the tempo. HAD A BLAST! I was not nearly the fastest, but had one guy say that my momentum on one hill was that of a "freight train". I laughed.
We got to the Marine Base and I knew that the Marine Crops does not F around. And I didn' t bring my ID. (I DIDN"T KNOW!!!! I SWARE!) The two guys that I had raced wanted me in the next few miles. I had to turn around.
Aside from having to ride by myself home, and without an IPod! I had a good amount of legs left. I did feel them getting tired the last 4 miles. But then again it was all uphill, and I have not done the route before. But plan on doing again, and again cause my legs today are dust. I had to drop my 10 mile run that I was going to use for an active recovery day. Nope. Rest.
So I am satisfied because if what I am doing seems tough, and it is. And if I am sore, that means that I am pushing myself. I plan on doing it again and know this is only going to make me faster. I see some weight being dropped in several areas and have began to do some homework on Electrolytes. Of which I don't take any..... may be one reason I became sick at my last IM. At the Run Shop I was talking to Scott, the Owner, about what happened on the marathon portion and he recommended that I try increasing my Electrolytes and explained a little. I purchased some 'NUUN" ? or something like it, and took one yesterday after my ride. So I am going to try to implement it this month and see what happens. As for now Me Wife just got back with a {Paper} and Starbucks, gotta bounce.
Lat "Ya'll"......... [{see}]
