Runner, MD

I'm a doctor who works in a Chicago hospital by day (and night). I run around the city, countryside, and other places when I'm not working.

In an interview with Rolling Stone in March 2025, Mr. Weir spoke about death. “I’ll say this: I look forward to dying. I tend to think of death as the last and best reward for a life well-lived. That’s it,” Mr. Weir said. “I’ve still got a lot on my plate, and I won’t be ready to go for a while.” “If I find myself being proud of something, I try to find the challenges that are associated with that, because I don’t trust pride,” Mr. Weir added. “I try not to allow myself to go there. Being prideful is not going to get you much of anywhere, as far as I can see.”

Somewhere along the line “I still love checking in on my experiments in the lab on weekend nights” became “I still love checking in on my experiments in MY lab on weekend nights”. Pinch me! (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjzDq-trzrS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Views from my long run. I’ve been on the road more than I’ve been home for the past few weeks (still not done 😑) so it felt good to see some Midwestern leaves! 🍁 https://www.instagram.com/p/CjzDZmrrnS5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
