1st implant anniversary today.
In that year I have run the London marathon 3:37 (pb by 22 minutes) and 3 half marathons the most recent being Cardiff in 1:33:37 which at 64 seems ok.

That's the self praise bit but the reason for posting is to say thank you to those members who gave me guidance during those difficult first few weeks and months.

Without your guidance and encouragement I would not have challenged the hospital who were saying 6-8 weeks with no running. Which would almost certainly have scuppered my plans to run London and probably resulted in depression to which, without running I remain prone.

Nor would I have gone back to them and asked and eventually insisted that they turn off the "motion control" which had me breathless and my HB racing when I walked the dog to the top of the street.

Perhaps more importantly was the support it gave my partner when I announced my plans to restart running.

Many many thanks and good wishes to all
