Year in review

2011 Summary

Classes:
Gen Bio I                           ->   A
Pre-calulus                        ->   A
Anatomy&Physiology I     ->   A
Anatomy&Physiology II    ->   A
Calculus I                          ->   A
Organic Chemistry I          ->  B

Organic Chem was my 1st B since starting school again.  I overloaded myself during the Fall 2011 semester and this B grade is the result.

I will be applying to dental school this summer and I feel like my chances are very good to get into the school of my choice.  The average GPA of students in the UIC dental program is 3.55.  My GPA is 3.9, so as long as my DAT score is average, or above, I should have no problems getting into dental school.


Running:

Total miles:  906
Races:          6

Siberian Express Trail Run 7.55 Miles 1:00:45

Bunny Dash 5k  22:44  2nd in AG

Human Race 5k 25:31

Stepping Up to Wellness 10k  48:30

Run for the Hills Half Marathon  1:50:21 2nd in AG

Turkey Trot 8k  36:18 PR  (Garmin was dead)


Due to my class and work schedule, I ran 600 miles less than last year.  I hope to rectify this situation in 2012 since I have learned from my mistakes of overloading on classes.  I have embraced running at night in the last 2 months.  It has turned out to be a very convenient time of day to run.  Running at midnight after work is peaceful and there are no obligations to get home.
