Cut & Run is a blog devoted to my goal of running a marathon in all 50 states, which I completed on November 16, 2014. As a practicing orthopaedic surgeon, I have to balance the demands of a busy practice with the training necessary to reach my goals. Some days, quite literally, all I do is cut and run. In this blog, I would like to share training, health, and life lessons learned from 25 years of marathons and medicine.
