Marathon

I knew going into medical school that it is often thought of as a "marathon." Now on the inside looking out I can see just how true that is, and I hope the mentality I developed while training for actual marathons will help me through. Pacing is the key. You have to study as much as is possible, but too much too fast = burnout. So today after about 5 hours in the books I felt like I NEEDED to go for a run. My focus was waning and an easy 4 miles @30 minutes was just the thing to freshen up. Now a shower, some dinner, and a few more hours of studying before bed, then repeat tomorrow and Thursday. Test is on Friday.
