You've had a goal of running a marathon.  How are you doing with that?

I’m not as far along as I had hoped, but I’m slowly getting back to training. Before law school, I ran a half-marathon, and my right knee decided not to cooperate a few miles in. I basically ran a majority of the race sideways to avoid bending the knee, and I think that did more damage than good. But I think sitting in class for the last three years has helped me recover!
