What you are about to read is the most personal thing I have ever written and shared with others. ✍🏽

In this blog post, you will find an excerpt from chapter 07.43 from my (perhaps forthcoming) book, which has the working title "Under Attack," which describes down to the smallest detail what happened that morning five years ago when a large blood clot hit me in the heart. 💔

It may sound strange or controversial, but the blood clot has been one of the best life experiences.

Your body can withstand and perform much more than you think is possible.

It is so important to stop once in a while and remind yourself how much has happened on your journey.

I often get asked the question above because people have a hard time believing that it is possible to run every day on a plant-based diet. 🌱

The new reality hit me for my first encounter in the heart disease outpatient clinic.

So what do I need when I run every day?
