While the pain is fresh and the glory is sweet, I decided to write this article about my experience running the marathon and how in my opinion, it correlates metaphorically of how I started and my diurnal responsibility as a Surgical Technologist.
Less than a month ago; on March 19, I ran my 3rd marathon. It is becoming a yearly affair for me and my wife to ran the Los Angeles Marathon that we always look forward for the next year. It started 3 years ago when my wife signed me up for my first marathon (she did her first the year prior) one month before the event.
I do ran every now and then but I have never taken such proposition like this at such a short notice. It was like a baptism with fire, so, I picked up and put on my running shoes and start conditioning my mind, body and spirit right away.

This along with learning the basics of aseptic techniques and human anatomy and physiology are the few proficiency you need to muster and process within the first few
