Career? I’m still working 3 jobs, in Kirksville MO. I also volunteer medical help to runners during ultra races. Was team physician for the US World 24-hour team for 11 years and medical director for the US 24-hour championships for 15 years.
When and why did you start running? In 1983 I miserably failed my annual physical. I had been a surgeon with the 101st ABN battalion--the first DO in the Army with a commission in the Medical Corps. I made 13 jumps, etc. . We had to be very fit.
But when I got home, I let myself go until I decided to get fit again to enjoy my life,
