I just re-started this 1 exercise after a major health scare and it’s thrilling

I can barely walk today, and I’m so happy about it.

I mean, ideally, I would be able to walk today without limping around like an old man.

But considering where I was two years ago, I’ll count this as a W.

You see, a little less than 2 years ago, I went for what I thought would be a routine, unremarkable run through my neighborhood.

I got home after doing a shade under 5K and started walking up the stairs to get changed. Suddenly, a wave of dizziness washed over me, causing me to grey out momentarily and fall forward.

Fortunately, I managed to catch myself before I did a faceplant on the steps, but I was definitely shaken.

What the hell was happening to me?

Headed to the Spartan Race three months after I quit alcohol for the first time in 2019. This was the best I ever felt physically, and with booze gone, I shaved more than 30 minutes off my time. Little did I know a pandemic and a major health scare would throw me off course for close to 3 years. (Author’s photo).

Scary symptoms begin to pile up

That was in May of 2021, and as the spring turned into summer, things got progressively worse.

Not only was my dizziness returning with alarming frequency, but I also started getting numbness all over my body. Not numbness to the touch, but internal numbness.

If you’ve had it, you’ll understand.
