I'm updating this as we drive through a tiny little village and I have 2 bars of 3G for a moment, but I'll share all the lovely details when I get home Monday. In the mean time, here is a picture of ice cream.

Don't worry, I'm still doing my 5k daily!
We're camping in northern-ish Michigan at the moment and cell service is almost non-existent. But I am doing and tracking my 5ks and workouts!

5k a day -- Day 13
Gonna be a short post today. In less than 12 hours I'll be knee-deep in the last hurdle between me and being a doctor.
Got to my hotel today (I find it important to have a quiet, controlled, cleaned-for-you environment before these things) and studied a bit. Then headed down to their gym for my 5k. They have two treadmills, one elliptical, and and a stationary bike. The first treadmill was taken by some lady walking, so I hopped on the other treadmill. It was out of order. So I hopped on the treadmill. Not only was it adjusted for a very tall person, but the resistance was broken on it. So, stationary bike it was.
I felt guilty knowing I was biking and not walking/running the 5k, and I knew I'd be done a lot faster than usual, so I bumped the resistance up to 10 and made sure I'd be working hard for the whole time. I have to say, my legs and butt definitely felt it, even more than when doing my squats.
iPhone apps are not handling the iOS 10 beta well, so I'm in the process of rolling back to iOS 9 for now . . . unfortunately, until that's done, MayMyRun is still no-go.
