Today was running day. I ran 20 miles in 3 hours.  I was quite impressed at my effort especially since this is only my 3rd run this month(I've been lazy/biking).  I was hurting by the end but it could have been worse. I also recovered surprisingly well afterward.  This is looking good for my upcoming races.
This afternoon I had a belated party for Rosh Hashanah.  I made cake and had apples and honey and a friend brought bagels&lox and donuts.  I was initially quite worried about my cake because of the sweetness and dryness that it had yesterday, however this cake sets very well and was absolutely delicious today.

 Everyone went back for seconds.  It was a good afternoon of watching AFL, eating and playing games. So happy to have friends for the holidays even if only one of them is Jewish.  I finished up and submitted 2 of my projects today.  Only several more to go. 2 due Friday,  1 due Monday, 1 due the following Monday, and a few others with flexible dates coming up as well. Working hard. I start my aged care placement tomorrow, can't say that I'm looking forward to it but at least I'm working with one of my friends.
