What to do when you don’t get through.
Human beings don’t like to fail. Doctors are terrible at it. It’s hard, especially when that failure is linked to your self-esteem, professional image, and livelihood.

This year’s challenge is the Melbourne 1/2 Marathon, which ends running into the MCG. I was inspired by this mantra about running long distance: “Running
