Rewards
As word has spread about what I am trying to accomplish, I have heard from several of my former obstetrical patients. Their messages have been wonderful gestures of support, truly unforseen rewards and I am very humbled and grateful they would take the time to contact me. I miss the practice of medicine (although I don't miss the stress, sleepless nights and threats of litigation) primarily because I miss the people. These brief but sincere messages of thanks and encouragement come from those people I had the priviledge of serving as a physician.

Today's run was 30 min, 2.54 mile workout. I realize I'm in better shape because I was ready to keep going. Let's hope I feel that way at mile 23 on Saturday.
