Thank you so much for sharing, and congratulations! I'm so glad you were able to offer that other person hope.
Last month was the six-year anniversary of my heart attack. So many of your words here resonate—the "burden" and grief of thinking about the attack and the recovery, but also the immense, immense gratitude. I'm running a half marathon next weekend, and it feels unbelievable when I really think about where I was six years ago today. To living fully! <3
Congrats, and appreciation for sharing your story. I am 24 years past a triple bypass and some tricky ER moments. It led me to running (occasionally), a lot of rollerblading (for a few years), and a renewed love affair with biking. It's the latter I've stuck with. A couple of bike-packing trips, a few Europe bike tours, a month-long West Coast biking adventure, and many road and gravel bike explorations across the NW. Now retired and with an e-bike I go farther and longer, and more often. Some don't know what they'll do when they can't drive. I wonder what I'll do when I can no longer bike.
Thanks for sharing so candidly. Your instincts are good: it's a human response to want to give someone else hope when you have something in common. (I'm pretty sure you both benefitted from that exchange.) Keep rolling!!

Half marathon - nice!! I did one last year. Trying to convince myself to do a full marathon next.
