Running the New York Marathon has been on my bucket list for years. So it was pretty exciting to be amongst the 50,000 starters at this year’s event, made even more special with my daughter Tayla lining up next to me for what would be her first ever marathon.
I had heard it was like going to a street party, running through the five New York boroughs of Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Manhattan. Biggest marathon in the world. Thousands of fans lining the streets with cheering, bands, signs. Finishing in Central Park. What could be better?

On 22 March 2022 I had an L4 & L5 Discectomy. My first question after Surgery to my Surgeon was “When can I run again?”
He said that “NO one had ever asked that question. Mostly they ask about pain, movement, work etc. Nine out of ten individuals will not run again. Not that they can’t but mentally are afraid”.
