Bionic Woman

When I was little, I loved the show "The Bionic Woman." I kind of dreamed of having that kind of enhanced efficiency and strength. Although it's not the same thing, I kind of relate to the bionic woman since I have a little computer in me that helps maintain my quality of life and gives me greater strength and energy than I otherwise would have. I love my pacemaker! And I'm so grateful to live in a time with such technology that makes it possible for me to engage in activities I enjoy!

Although you won't see me lifting any cars or jumping any tall buildings, you may catch a glimpse of me getting some serious miles in on my quest to run 1200 miles this year.

My hiatus of the last two months has gotten me a bit behind schedule, but I'm still aiming high.

341 down, 859 to go.

I Did It!


Well, I did it. I went to the beach. And I even swam in the ocean. Never mind that unconsciousness was hovering on the edge of my consciousness ready to take me into dreamland, or rather, the world of nightmares. And never mind that I collapsed on the shore for a while as my racing heart tried to beat itself out of my chest. In the end, I swam. And loved it. And it was worth the aftermath.

Take that, POTS!

No Fear!!
