Heart of the Matter (Redux)

by rumon

If you’ve been following my pen for a few years you’ll know that in addition to contributing to the print magazine I used to blog for the now defunct Triathlete Magazine (it’s been folded in the Competitor.com product, Inside Triathlon).  My Triathlete blog ran under the title, Heart of the Matter, a reference to the focal theme: my road back to health and fitness following my first heart surgery.  The idea was that I’d blog my way back to my original level of fitness, make a glorious return to high performance competition, etc.  In short, that plan went the way of its media channel and I’m now another heart procedure to the good and making a renewed journey back to health (and fitness?).

What’s the point?  Well, with the renewed effort to get fit I’m again blogging the journey, this time, as mentioned briefly in a previous entry, for my local Times Colonist newspaper.  It’s not really the kind of stuff I’m envisioning for delible ink – in fairness, the definition of that “stuff” is still a work in progress – but I’ll keep you posted here when I’ve written a new entry over there, in case you’re interested.

Apropos that, I’ve just posted a new TC10k blog, “Counting the Years, Counting the Miles,” which you can find here.

Thanks for reading.
