I USED to run before the pacemaker....it is truly the ONLY thing I miss about my life pre-illness! I had already had one heart surgery when I ran my first 10k....My family was all waiting for me at the finish line, and I remember SO clearly seeing my daddy screaming his head off for me. It was one of the proudest moments in my life.....There is nothing as fulfilling as completing a race....knowing you trained your body to do something so BIG! Congrats to you, and I am SO PROUD of you!!!!! Will you think of me the next time you are running in a race??? Kick it in high time for the last 100 yards!
