Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Fantastic! Congratulations on an awesome race, what a great athlete you are. It was great to meet you in Worcester and talk about SBI. I wish you the very very best and am looking forward to your post-procedure post, ETA 48 hours after surgery I am sure.

Wow, that's amazing.  Good for you.  I ran a half-marathon once and THAT was a long distance.  I am impressed.  I think your fitness level will really help you post surgery.  I think mine did, but I might just be guessing.
Best,
