I got to stop for a short beach run on my way home from seeing my dad for his birthday.

Congrats and enjoy
Sounds great! Congratulations on your first Valversary!!
Happy Anniversary!
John - Who is your cardiologist at UW? I am moving my parent urgently into other care - and shopping for name options... Thanks
Congrats !
J Alexander, Dr. Christoper Burke was my surgeon. He's the best in the area for Rosses. He does other heart surgeries as well.
Thanks John and do you see a rank and file cardiologist at UW too? Whom is so?
My cardiologist is Dr Oscar Briseno with Skagit Regional. I live in Island County and driving north into Skagit is a lot easier for me than driving south into King County.
Right now, I do my testing at UW on my surgeon's schedule and have it sent to my cardiologist.... Read more.
Thanks!

I will make my goal of running a 5k distance by my 6-month anniversary on Saturday. I would have done it today but my run was 0.15 miles too short.

Awesome ❤️
Congratulations John!! You are an inspiration ❤️
Congrats, good achievement, I try to do more or less, but in quick walking ,lol.
That is still amazing to go that far. Great job, you WILL make it this weekend.
Thanks, everyone. I met my goal by running 4.2 miles in 63 minutes on a -3% incline.
Running declines is a little easier on the heart and a little tougher on joints and quads.
