Last Day of Vacation...


What an eventful weekend. 3 days of lunch at the International Food Fest, 4th July Parade, Fireworks, and a run today interrupted by Clydesdale horses. Yes, while I was out for a run today, I heard “hey, look at the Clydesdales”, and no, she wasn’t joking. The Budweiser horses were out for an afternoon strole. I then turned around, ran home (all up hill, no joke), grabbed my camera, and ran back to catch them on their way back to where they started (picture). Perhaps I should just run with camera in hand because you never know what you are going to run into while in Marquette!

But, tonight summer vacation comes to an end. Tomorrow, I start my tenure as a Sports Medicine Fellow working for the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) at Marquette, home of the one and only USOEC (United States Olympic Education Committee). Surprisingly, I’m not nervous...which is odd…yes, very odd. Usually, well, nerves tend to send me for a loop the night before big things (moving to East Lansing, waiting to be accepted into the MSU program, sitting for the NATABOC, moving to Wisconsin...)…and please, tell me what is bigger than working for the Olympics, let alone during the year of the Olympics! Oh well. Perhaps it is because I still feel like I'm on vacation...almost surreal. Yes, I should be in bed right now, but I’m not tired and House is on.
