Sixth Replacement Anniversary

[kodi]

I'm a little ashamed that I haven't posted here in quite a while. I do check in on a regular basis however and will do my best to start following again.
This past Friday, Oct 5, was the 6th anniversary of my aortic valve replacement. I celebrated by running my 57th marathon in my favorite marathon in St. George, UT on Saturday. It was my 14th time there. My time was a slow 5:58:43 but I'm very happy that I finished vertically and was far from the last runners. I'm at the top of my age group (70-74) and finished 32 out of 38. I'll take it!

Kodi, great to hear from you. Congrats on another marathon down and certainly the anniversary, of course. Your story was such an asset to me five years ago when I was coming out of surgery.

Congratulations.

Whoa, that is amazing, even for a person who hasn't had a valve replacement! Congratulations! I hope you will continue to post. It gives us newbies some real idea of what is possible.
