So far today has been off to a GREAT start.
I think I’m still kickin’ from my awesome 5 mile run yesterday. I did it in 43:45. Which isn’t real fast, but for my first REAL run since NWM, I think it was great. And I didn’t get too slow during the marathon training. So I’m satisfied. I”m going to try to get it down to an 8 min/mile in the next few weeks – I miss speed!!
I had the usual, oats, pb, soy yogurt & stevia.
With a bananer. (sorry I ate it WAy too fast)
And then I set off to studying.
These are becoming my two BFFs:

With a micro test on Friday, and a not-so-hot result from the last test, I will be lost in these texts as well as my class reader for the next few days.
But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Because Friday, post exam means: Food Buzz Festival 2010 in San Francisco!!! I can’t wait to go! I have three awesome roomies: Julia, Melissa & Casey!
It should be an amazing, fun & food-centric weekend! I honestly can’t WAIT for this break – or to meet all the food bloggers and food representatives! Should be incredible!
What do you do when you really need to concentrate? How do you keep from getting distracted? I ask this because I constantly find myself distracted and concentrating on things I shouldn’t be when I really need to study. Like right now…I’m blogging, and I should be studying :) Whoops! So clearly, I need tips & advice!!

Hmm concentration is a toughy. I think your best bet is, (gasp) close the computer. I keep wanting to check blogs, email, what have you. I think it the mothership of distraction.
Cant wait to see you in a few days!
that is what i’m going to try to do now that #fitblog is over. wish me luck. see you friday!! yay food buzz!
I usually have a place that I can go to that I’m not as distracted. Like if I go to the library or the grad office, I don’t want people to see me scoping out blogs, shopping online, or tweeting. So I stick to what I’m really there to do. Maybe you can find a place that works the same way for you. Good luck, us PhD students need to stick together (it’s a looonnnggg road!)
unfortunately my grad office has 7 other people.. 😦 i’m contemplating disconnecting my internets for a bit or hitting up a coffee shop…but you’re right, i need to be in public so i don’t ‘get distracted’ 🙂
and are you coming to fb fest?!
