This last run was something I never thought I’d get to again, to cut a long story short I’ve had 11 cardiac stents, a number of heart attacks including arrests and a quad CABG. I was first diagnosed in my late 30 and my career was over in an instant. It’s been a long trial over many years but at last I can run again. So emotional was I that I broke down and cried when I got home. Thank you all on here because reading your posts has been incredibly motivating. Happy Solstice to you all. I know it’s a day late sorry.

Congratulations on overcoming the adversity.
Keep running keep smiling.

Wow - what a motivational and inspiring post. I get why you chose that nickname Keep-it-ticking
As IannodaTruffe says keep it slow and steady, but I'm sure you know your body and can judge how not to overdo it.
Merry Christmas

Thank you for the kind words but there are plenty of people more inspirational I believe.

Good luck with the rest of your journey.
