Polgara Scrubs Up

[Polgara19]

 

 

I've been rewatching Scrubs, and just enjoying myself immensely.  So, to indulge my love for the silly gif's, here we go!  Scrubs theme challenge!

 

I will be doing a 5 week challenge, starting today, and my biggest focus will be on my very first Sprint Triathlon taking place at the end of official week 2, June 25th!  

 

Interns

Survive the triathlon (Bonus - time 1:50)

 

At the beginning of the series, J.D., Turk, and Elliot are interns - learning the ropes, going through hazing, trying to fit in and survive.  I will be channelling the interns to survive and thrive in the new triathlon environment!

 

Hopefully not me at my triathlon!

 

Residents

Follow the training plan for the triathlon

 

As the series progresses, the residents survive endless paperwork, doing all the groundwork for their superiors, and endless routine.  This is going to be me for the next three weeks.  Overarching goal is to swim, run, and bike 2X/week.  This is unrealistic though, so I will aim to do 5 workouts/week over a range of activities.  I will be following a plan I modified based on one I can't find anymore online...

 

 

Nurses

Stretching and foam rolling

 

Nurses take care of people behind the scenes, responsible for the care and comfort of patients.  I need to take care of my body in order to survive the triathlon, so will be stretching after every workout and foam rolling 3X/week.

 

Nurses are the best!

 

Janitor

Clean and maintain my home

 

While the Janitor in Scrubs doesn't actually clean the hospital very much, I will hopefully do a better job than him.  

I will clean the bathrooms 1X/week

 

 

 

Well let's do this!

 

[Tanktimus the Encourager]

Scrubs won! I'm following.

[starpuck]

Following!

(Will post and read after Stanley Cup game is over.)

[sozzielou]

Hooray Scrubs won the theme! Looking forward to seeing your progress.

 

 

Subbed :-)

Week 0 Day 1

 

Went for a run in the morning, dragged, but got it done.

 

 Dragged my carcass out of bed this morning and ran.  Finished Season 1 of Zombies Run this morning, and now I just want to run more to find out what happens!  I have to finish Radio Mode and the New Canton Races first though!  Of course, since it was the finale and a cliff hanger, the app crashed once, and I accidentally paused the app somehow.  Luckily I had run keeper on as well so I know how far I went.  Dang!  So exciting!

 

Ran 3.62km in 26:21. (less exciting...)

(Copied from previous challenge)

 

Finishing Season 1!

 

Week 0 Day 2

 

Not sure what I will get done today.  It's not very hot, so maybe can get something done tonight, but feeling guilty leaving the husband with the kids so much recently...

 

 

 

And for @Starpuck, the Scrubs counterpoint to the +5 helm of sexterity!

 

 

[Rurik Harrgath]

Great work on getting out of bed this morning to conquer that run!  Zombies, Run! only gets better with time, so keep chipping away at those chapters. 

[Polgara19]

Week 0 Day 2

 

Just did a run.  After 8pm.  Are you all impressed?

 

After I put the kids to bed, I went out and did what I think is  tempo run.  I ran fast, but not very far.  I did 3.38km in 20:19.  Was hard, but am happy I went out and did it!  Hopefully a couple of these fast runs will help my triathlon time!

 

 

Then, we started watching a hilarious documentary on Netflix about the Barkley Marathons - unbelievable...

 

Finally, remembered that Scrubs had a triathlon episode.... how perfect!!!  Look forward to gifs from that as week approach the end of week 2!

I'm impressed! Following along and learning about "Scrubs".

[SaltyDragon]

This is gonna be awesome. And you're off to a great start already!

[starpuck]

I am super impressed.   The ONLY thing I leave the house after 8pm for, is hockey.   Because that's often the only time slot we adults can get.     Very nice work there!

I hear you on the time slot - we play at 9:30pm (ouch).  Kind of miss playing through the summer, jealous that you have hockey still...

 

Week 0 Day 3

 

After dropping kiddies off at school this morning, I went to the pool.  It was a width swim, so I'm not entirely sure how far I swam, but I swam for about 20 mins.  Then, after a shower, I took the long way home on the bike.  The total was 1km there, 7.97km home.  However, right as I left the pool, there was a killer hill.  I mean, I had to stop at the top of the hill because I was feeling lightheaded.  That's how bad a hill it was.

 

 

Didn't do much else today.

 

A bit worried about a pain low down on the left of my abdomen, so keeping an eye on that.  On the left though, so not appendicitis - which is good I suppose...

 

When J.D. had appendicitis!

[DJtrippyT]

go get that triathalon!

[obax]

Getting out for a run that late in the evening is something I almost never accomplish, so congrats to that!!! I've never seen Scrubs, so the gifs don't make much sense, but they're amusing so far!

You're not kidding, that really is the long way home!

I'm shocked and appalled by all the people who have never seen Scrubs!  You must rectify this.  Especially since the best thing about Scrubs is the music and the dialogue - gifs just don't cut it!  Get thee to Netflix!

Indeed!  I just cut across to the usual running route and worked my way back home!

 

Week 0 Day 4

 

3.8 million things to do today (interviewing, working, dinner, retirement party organizing) so of course my weird abdominal pain has continued to get fractionally worse overnight and as it's been nearly a week, I'm going to have to try to get squeezed in at my GP's.  I keep flip flopping back and forth between being really worried and not so worried.  Things I have been worried about: kidney stones (my mother suffered horribly with these) but I think the pain is too low, ovulation pain (but I've never had it before and a week!), some sort of intestinal tract infection (do those happen?), some sort of lady part infection, kidney infection, and of course, cancer.  Suspect I'll be sent home with not much since I don't have any other infection symptoms (general crappies, fever, etc).  

 

Something I'm not worried about:

 

Ah well... at least I'm not Mr Korman 

[starpuck]

Haha, the gifs I've seen through the years do in fact suggest Scrubs is amazing.    But, with my list of anime to watch (and constantly finding new ones) AND the fact I've not yet seen any Dr Who (nerd cred loss there is huge), I have to do some of these other shows first.    Just woo us with gifs.

 

Hope your abdominal thing gets sorted out and fixed!    Keeping fingers crossed it's something common and simple to deal with.

 

Hang in there on your crazy busy week!

[Charlie_Quinn]

Great theme! I really need to rewatch Scrubs too. Isn't there an episode where JD tries to do a Triathlon for his 30th birthday? 

 

I hope you feel better soon.

[Polgara19]

Dr appt booked for late this afternoon. Hoping for something simple!

Holding thumbs

[Polgara19]

Went to the doctor. Very thorough exam, blood draw, and ultrasound order. Was no 'kitten treatment'!

Long story short, still not sure what's causing the pain, but still looking!

Hmm, on my phone so can't get the gif to load properly... Will have to fix later!

 

ETA: looking at it on the laptop shows the previous post fine, so... carry on!

 

 

[deftona]

I love Scrubs so naturally I am following!

Week 0 Day 5

 

Had my ultrasound this morning.  Extra fun.

 

Cold gel in aaaaaaaalll sorts of places...

 

Then as it was a pd day, had both kiddos home.  Been a busy day, and now that we've had dinner, I'm relaxing with a cup of tea before tackling bedtime.  Of course, it's more of a "drink tea while listening to the screaming caused by tidying", but... hey ho!

 

 

I'm hoping to go for a bike/swim this evening, so will update later!

Is that the kind of tidying where they start playing with stuff they see, instead of putting it away? Or the kind of tidying where they want to play with whatever brother/sibling discovers while "putting toys away"? Or both, or others included? Know those kind of tidying up nights *sigh - sits down next to you with a mug of coffee - cheers!*

Hope you got that bike swim in.

Sigh.  Unfortunately it's the screaming over whatever the sibling is doing as well as plain old cleaning refusal.  The mess is always "too big".  Of course, reminders through the day to not make so big a mess, or to not walk away from something since the mess will seem "bigger" later is met with disdain and/or screaming.  

 

Parenthood: the screaming.

 

 

Last night I did eventually make it out for a bike and swim.  However, I didn't make it nearly as early as I'd intended, so I only biked for 7km.  Then, I swam 550m.

 

However, I did not do well on my Nurses goal, and didn't really stretch at all.  Oops.

 

Today, I would ideally like to do the entire 20km bike and 5km run, however, it might get postponed till tomorrow due to hot and humid weather that should be better tomorrow.  Instead I will be spending the day dealing with co-op board things and other super fun tediousness.
