    Yup. A great thing about it is MD Anderson Cancer Center is..well...a CANCER center, so they place a lot of emphasis on obtaining and maintaining overall health.

    We have multiple nurses on staff at our research facilities for our employees and they offer advice and recommendations along with our 'fitness guru' Joi. Joi is a certified trainer and runs fitness classes throughout the week on the Smithville Campus.

    We have various fitness challenges with prizes that we can participate in(I just joined the 10,000 step challenge for April). The 'mothership' is in Houston but they do bring various blood tests for cholesterol and other things to our campuses(for free) and offer free mammograms every once in a while.

    About twice a month we get a masseuse who comes in for chair and table sessions at the Smithville Campus. Since we do have many graduate and post graduate college students working and studying here we try everything we can to keep them healthy and reduce their stress levels and appointments are available for general staff.

    Running on Dunkins tonight. I got home at 8 this morning and slept a couple hours before my race at 11. I PR'd with an average 9:30 min/mile pace :) Had a little too much fun with friends after and didn't go back to bed until 4 PM, oops

    Got to work tonight and realized I piled some papers on a couple records. Now I'm stuck starting my night with records. I guess it's OK. I got some sleep so my records might make more sense. :smile:

    That's not a good way to start the night. :-) Hope it gets better.

    Lucky duck! I have 5 hours left! But for me that's 5 hours of MFP and walking around. I'm so stoked for our work competition. I'm gonna knock this out of the PARK!

    I wish they would change our schedule to 4 10 hours shifts instead of 5 8 hour shifts.

    Only 2 hours left here!! Had to do a survey in blood bank that took basically the entire night, I've never had a shift go by so quickly. We're taking a few seconds of downtime before the morning run really gets going
