"Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter - tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . . And then one fine morning - So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." A newly minted doctor in Chicago.

LH: What’s the best writing advice you’ve ever received? GS: It was from my teacher Tobias Wollf: “Don’t lose the magic.” What this means to me now is, the first job of an artist is to delight the audience and she might not get to choose how she does that—it has to do with who she is. That’s basically the writer’s life work, to find out how he or she is delightful on the page.

Part of it, she explained, relates to her sons. “I do this for them; they see drive, they see commitment,” she said. “It’s showing that you can do whatever you’d like to do or love to do, and as long as you’re working hard, you’ll be happy.”

I don’t post much about my training on Tumblr any longer (it’s now all on Strava and is going better than ever, including my high school XC days), but this quote hit home for me. The hardest part of my training as a physician is over, and my son will never see the 30+ hour shifts, the chronic sleep deprivation, the crushing debt, or the sacrifices that his parents made during their 20s and early 30s as we slowly moved up the economic ladder.
On the other hand, he will (hopefully) benefit from the stability of my career during his early childhood and will have opportunities that I did not. I do hope that my running and training provide him with an example and help him understand the mindset that leads to success in our careers, training, and lives. Until then, stride on!
