Personal:
I am 38 y/o andjust finishing up medical school. It is difficult to keep up with rigorous training schedules and med school...but I find it is one of the only ways for me to get some time to clear my head.
I dedicate all of my races to an elementary school in Zambia that my parents are helping to build. For this year, I found a corporate donor (via ebay) that is donating $9000 to the school. In exchange, I have offered to wear pajamas bearing their slogan while I train and race! (I know...its pretty crazy...but its all for a great cause) More info about me and my running can be found at MilesForMacha.com

Don't know my pace because I stopped to help a 68 year old man after a head on bike collisions. Had to wait for the ambulance to come for him.
He is ok...but its always best not to take any chances, so I insisted he go to the hospital.
Oh my goodness! A little bit of early on-the-job training for you? Hope the guy is ok. But you still got some good miles in. I admire your ability to fit running into that kind of schedule. I a sure you will be a better doctor for it! Good luck with your training and the fundraising.
