The Thinker of Thinks
I am a 20-something medical student who grew up south of the Mason-Dixon and is now living in the best city in the world, NYC. While I’ve spent a significant amount of my 20s in libraries or other places conducive to studying, I’ve maintained several outside interests including tennis, running, reading, and becoming a nail polish aficionado. Growing up, I was an avid tennis player. More recently, I’ve channeled my competitive instincts into running, which is mostly what this blog is about.
[then and now]
I am reticent in starting this blog, but I like reading other blogs so I thought maybe people would enjoy reading the random goings on inside my head. Maybe. Maybe not. You decide. Comment. Let me know.
Hey Medstudent runner…I got a msg about your blog post and enjoyed your blog…and, small world, I wrote running with the buffaloes and work in medicine at Mt Sinai…saw you walked from 102nd so maybe you are in school here??
Anyway good luck with studying, writing and running – a full plate!

Hi Chris!
Well, I guess I will have to read your book now that you commented! I’m actually down at NYU SoM. I ran a race Saturday that started and ended at 102nd which is why I was up there (thankfully the race cut off Harlem and Snake Hills.) What do you do at Sinai? That is too cool. Thanks for reading/commenting! I’ll let you know how I like the book.
Sincerely,
Meggie
Hi Meggie,
I came across your blog through These Happy Miles. That’s so exciting that you’re going into ob/gyn! I am in the ob-gyn field also (education, actually). There’s a huge meeting in NYC this weekend (10/28-30) and there are med student opportunities if you are interested in finding out more. The registration fee is nominal.
I can’t remember how I stumbled across your blog, but I know I was looking at another running blog. Then I read this and it all caught my attention. Your goals sound awesome and I’m sure you’ll do great! OB/GYN in NYC would be a dream job, makes me think of Sex and the City haha. Keep up the running, too! Great blog
Well, thank you! Funny thing is, I’ve hardly ever watched Sex and the City. I didn’t have HBO in High School and I don’t like watching reruns and stuff bc they’re out of order and I don’t know the story lines! I have watched a few and so many of my friends are obsessed (and tell me that I am just like Charlotte). I should probably start watching…
