And he considered his greatest contributions in life to be the 40 year career he had as a neurologist. Quite an accomplished man.

I was happy to get anywhere close to 5:00 back in my track days. Sub 4:00 is just insane, despite how many times it's happened since.

5:29 was the best I did as a non-track non-cross country guy.
