Updates:

Its sort of been a while since I've posted anything. Just a quick summary of the past month or so.

I took EM written boards November 12th. I'm glad its over.

I spent Thanksgiving at home in Charlotte with my family!

Liz came down Nov 23-25th and we hung out, compared war stories and did lots of mountain biking. We accomplished my goal of riding all the FATs trails in one day :) Somewhere in the ball park of 37 miles.

The next weekend I headed up to Winston-Salem and did the mistletoe half marathon. Nothing about my performance was impressive - but it was the furthest by 6 miles I've ever run in my life - and I sort of never trained for it - so I was just happy I managed to run the whole way.

The weather has been mild, which has allowed me to continue to get in some good mtn biking. Rich and I have gone night riding twice this week at FATs. The trails are even more fun in the dark.

Work in the ED over the past month has been busy. Plenty of critical patients - and plenty of the flu to keep me and the residents very busy!

Today (Thursday) I went to an ultrasound course for the critical care docs. Its awesome to work in a place where you can learn so much!

My upcoming projects include: MedWARs on April 20th and the 6th Annual Southeastern Student Wilderness Medicine Conference on April 13-14.
This spring it looks like a Wilderness EMS director course, WMS conference in Park City, Med support for racing the planet in Chile, and the completion of the WMS DiMM course at Rainier!

I've also got some research projects cooking...
