This morning, I woke up for an early morning run before starting my CFA review classes (i.e., Equity Analysis today).  When I headed out of the dorms, it was just a downpour; therefore, after going back to grab my windbreaker, I ran for 7.2 miles through the rain to downtown Windsor and the through the neighborhoods surrounding campus.  The fun of running through puddles and just getting drenched, took my mind off my rickety right knee.

For my non-running workout, I completed another day of 300 sit-ups.

Eek. So much studying. I like how you run more miles injured than I do healthy.

Good for you -- keeping up the running while in "super-study" mode!! Good job Rossy ... when are the exams?

Hey Rossy,

My daughter (Callie) just finished her first year at TCU. She finished her finals last week, they went well...Hope yours do too...!

What's up with right knees...that's the one that's bothering me too.

Thanks Burt, Bonnie, and Preston!

Burt, love your new profile pic and nice run with the cats/dogs!

Bonnie, before I got into running, one of my history professors informed me running was his secret to getting through his PhD program. Obviously, I took his shared wisdom to heart and I make sure to get in a daily run no matter how stressful the studies. I'm sure you would have the same advice for your students. Also, my big exam is on June 4th!

Preston, TCU is a great University and it's good to hear that her finals went well. I miss my college days so much, I feel I have to keep at it with the CFA Program which is truly unlike any exam that I have ever prepared for (so comprehensive I'm starting to feel that I have to teach it to pass it). Anyway, the right knee jinx needs to end!
