I’ve run 14 marathons (Boston once), 2 ultras and a sprint triathalon. What great fun! I’m recovering from anterior radical prostatectomy and radiation last year. (Prostate cancer and a bit more.) Remarkably, my surgeon is also a marathon kind of guy…
The pay-off? I’m back to running ~12+ miles a week, spinning 2 hours a week (and ramping up). So, I’m thinking – GEE – an Ironman triathalon just might be the ticket.
The other pay-off? The self-discipline and focus getting ready for all this fun helped me learn much more about myself and others than watching TV. (I equate the tricks I learned on time management and problem solution techniques to a mini-PhD on life-management.)
