Inspiration ALL AROUND...!

After watching the limited coverage of the Boston Marathon (at least at my household) I always come away with the urge to run...

Does anyone feel that way...?

Specially after this year where the USA finally had the winner runner on a thrilling race. 

11 seconds was the winning margin... I can't hardly eat 2 Samoa Cookies on that span of time...

Speaking of induced inspiration...

The accomplishments that some of the blood clot survivors I know about continue to blow me away...

One individual just ran in the Boston Marathon and beat hear previous Personal Best by more than 7 minutes which was pre-blood clot incident... Blood Clot Survivor!

One individual just recently completed a 100 Mile Trail run... Blood Clot Survivor!

Same individual will be racing the San Francisco Marathon TWICE... Again Blood Clot Survivor!

Another individual just completed the New Orleans 70.3 Triathlon... Blood Clot Survivor!

Same individual will be participating in the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon... Again Blood Survivor!

One individual ONLY prefers "longish" marathons... This guy so far this year has competed several 50K plus trails races... Blood Clot Survivor!

And these are only some of the samplings of the constant stream of inspiring accomplishments I see from individuals who WILL NOT let their clotting incident bring them down.

There are no excuses to get out and continue to stand up for this cause. 

CLOT BUSTER #STOPTHECLOT polka-dots are spreading and will be represented at a race near you...

You too can take part on the STOPTHECLOT expansion by getting your very own polka-dots and wear them whenever possible!

The first shipment of this fine technical shirts arrived today and they are ready to be taken for a run, stroll, walk, or to sleep if so desired...

Get up and get going!

Let's make this day and every day count.

Thanks for reading,

The Clot Buster

  1. Hey, I just found your blog.
    I am lou Klein .. A mop Tri guy that just got diagnosed with PE.
    Worst chest pain and severe shortness of breath.

    It only took me a day and a half to realize what was going on. Dr. said I was lucky.
    I am just biding my time until the Coumadin becomes therapeutic .. These lovanox shots are killing me.
    I was scheduled for 5 races this year.
