"That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run..."

I woke up this morning with a powerful urge to run, so i ran. 

I donned my pajamas (sweatpants and an old Jesus T-shirt I had won in a raffle a long time ago...) and ran alongside the Los Angeles river ... no thinking, no worries, no distractions, no depressing thoughts... just running. Somewhere around mile #4 it dawned on me--- this is something I've been missing greatly.
 
This blog is bound to change from a log of my experiences through medical school and residency into a log of running in Los Angeles. There are beaches, mountains, rivers, and plenty of trails in this great city. 

Lets explore.
