My patients are very cool!

The ringtone on my phone is Jason Mraz "I'm Yours" Everytime it goes off, patients tell me how much they like the song. Even folks who have never heard it before. Here is a live, acoustic performance of the song.

The weather!!!!!

10 miles in snow and ice yesterday. I am trying to run at a faster pace. The ice did not help.

This weather is ridiculous!

Ever see Rocky IV when Rocky was training by running in high snow? That's what it was like on Sunday. I didn't enjoy it! 6 miles today. I don't know where I am going to find a good place to run.

New camera now available

In addition to our retinal camera, I know have an anterior segment camera to aid in patient care. With this camera, I can take photos AND VIDEOS of contact lenses on the eye, corneal injury/disease, cataracts, eyelid abnormalities and it can also take videos of the retina.

Just another way to offer the finest eyecare available.

Weather seems to be improving.

Took the this morning to Starbucks for a puppy latte and the roads got really bad while we were out. I ran for miles on the treadmill yesterday. Today, I need to run 8 miles. No way I can do that inside. Should be fun running in the snow. At least, the temperature is in the 30s.

No way I am running outside today.

Suppose to run for 1 hour. Looks like I am hitting the elliptical.

Today, only 3 miles

I had to use the treadmill. Too cold out. I swam laps after running for good measure. Last marathon I stopped swimming. I am going to keep swimming during training. Hopefully, I will have a bit more energy when I hit mile 16 this time.

Training starts for the Pittsburgh Marathon!

Wow! What awful weather to start! I haven't run since the turkey trot. Today's run was a problem. Wife had the Garmin GPS which gives me the pace/time/distance. I had to use my cell phone as a stopwatch. Didn't work. I ran the first two miles entirely too fast.

Today was 2 miles at goal pace, 2 miles at tempo, 2 miles at goal pace. Even with the timing fiasco, it was a good run.
