Yo,

So my celebration today is that I died a year ago. Not for long, 15-20 minutes the first go round and then a couple more efforts to take me out after that. Some great officers performed CPR in 20* weather for 15 minutes while waiting on EMS to arrive. Got kicked out of the first hospital as they couldn't deal with whatever I was going through, ended up in ICU, on ice and in a coma for a few days and then I wake up. Apparently I was very worried my legs were broken and I wasn't going to be able to run the next day...Oh Life.

Great CPR really hurts...A lot.hahahah

I got back on my bike about two weeks later, slowly, but got it started again. First run was short, slow and painful AF, about 4 weeks after. First swim was also short, slow and painful AF, about 8 weeks after.

It's been a hell of a ride. Kiss your loved ones and thank your support teams.

Oh yeah, 60 minutes on the trainer, fastest clip since August.

Be GREAT today BT.

Glad you’re still around, Steve. You have a great perspective on life. Happy one year anniversary of giving death the middle finger!

I try to have the conversation about CPR with our frail elderly patients and caregivers. It’s not like you see on TV. Most of the time it involves broken ribs or sternum, and lots of bruising. We try to make sure family understands this before opting out of a DNR.

4.1 mile run outside in the dark this PM. I have an old headlamp that was serviceable, but I could use a new one if running in the dark is to
become a norm.

Happy hump day everyone!
