When I started school I was told by the dean of the school that ‘law school is a marathon, not a sprint.’ I took that statement to heart and am now finishing my last year with a marathon, proving that you can push your mind and body to the limit.
— Michael Millus, a third-year student at Brooklyn Law School, in comments given after completing the New York City Marathon this past weekend. “I started running two years ago to unwind and get my mind off the pressure and stress that comes from law school,” Millus said. Prior to running the NYC Marathon, he’d run three half-marathons, and he clocked in with a time of 3 hours, 45 minutes, 33 seconds for his first marathon. Congratulations!
