Thank you!
I take my hat off (if I had one) to those great adventurers! I am fully aware my 30 km are nothing special, but I'm happy I can do this now. A year ago even 10 km would have been a stretch.

I got my first recent stroke roughly one year back while driving to one of our offices on the other side of the country for a meeting.
I had something similar 10-15 year ago, usually when working in the garden. It vanished and we thought it was an allergy. Now I'm not sure it was...

Anyway, I had a pressing pain on my chess but it was the middle of nowhere. I was in the slow lane (go figure!) and ready to pull over and hit the hazards if I would start feeling worse for it, but it was unchanging for 3 minutes and then suddenly disappeared in seconds.
I went to the meeting and drove home in the afternoon without trouble.

The next day at work it happened 4 times in a row with 10 minute intervals or so. I went to the doctor who started a ping-pong game with the cardiologist using me as the ball. At last an angiograph revealed the blockage and a stent was inserted that ended the attacks and colored the skin around the artery in my lower right arm in rainbow style for no less than 3 months. It was so pleasant that I vowed to do anything to prevent ever needing another stent.

So here I am, putting one foot ahead of the other and reversing it time and again.

The app with my Mi Band 4 step counter says I've taken 38012 steps today and adds 'Ahead of 100% of users'... You bet
