My job keeps me away from my family more than I would like, so I feel guilty leaving them to go on a long training run on the weekends. I'm lucky to have a wife who understands my compulsion. She knows that running makes me a better person--a better husband, dad, surgeon, and friend.
When my son is old enough to understand what it means to run a marathon in all 50 states, I hope he will be proud of me. I also hope that he learns to dream big, set lofty goals, and to work hard to make his dreams a reality.
