My GCM Story: (email us yours: bit.ly/YourGCMrunningStory) — "While on my vacation I did an easy 5 mile run, then showered in preparation for going to breakfast. My wife was standing next to me and she was brushing her hair. All of a sudden I had the classic elephant in the middle of my chest. I hollered to my wife, give me an aspirin quick. She asked, did I pull something during my run? I said no, I'm having a heart attack. She was shocked beyond belief, as she fumbled for the aspirin. Eventually I was life flighted to the Florida hospital. On a gurney, we burst into an operating room where at least nine people were doing many things to me. By this time my wife arrived and had a brief talk with the head cardiologist and he said, I understand that your husband is a runner. My wife said no, he is a marathon runner. He immediately broke open a package of Plavix and popped them in his mouth. You have no idea what this does to us when a marathon runner goes down with a heart attack. He then came to me and said that my major heart artery has a 100% blockage and that they would clean it out and put a stent in. He also said that I was in such great physical shape that I suffered less than 10% damage to my heart. Eight months later I ran the Marine Corp Marathon. In January 2018 I was having struggles with my running and told my cardioligst, we knew that as early as 2010 that I had a leaking aortic valve, but the leakage was still minor. For three months they ran many tests and could not find a cause for my difficulty. During my visit he told me that in 2 days I would come to the hospital for an exploratory heart cath. When I woke I was informed that my heart's two major arteries both had 80% blockages and that they had been cleaned out and stents put in. January 4th 2019 all of a sudden without any lead up I am having difficulty even running short distances. The cardiologist starts testing all over again. This condition keeps getting worse. I can hardly walk up a flight of stairs and I can't even run a step. June 1st he tells me that my aortic vale has an approximate 68% blockage and has to be replaced. This hospital only does open heart surgery. I said that I did not what that procedure, that I wanted that experimental tavir procedure. He said that only eleven hospitals in the U.S. are doing them. Spectrim Health in Grand Rapids,MI. is the closests but they may not accept you because you are not a high risk patient. They interviewed me and choose to accept me as part of there ongoing program. July 23rd I had my procedure and stayed the mandatory overnight visit. The next morning I was cleared to start up my running program. 44days later I ran the Haven to Holland half marathon. I was 1st in my age group. I was born and raised in Toledo and a Toledo Roadrunner member since 1980. In 2012 my wife and I were flown to LA and then onto Hollywood to make a television commercial for Bayer Aspirin. The commercial ran all of 2012 in North and South America. My friends, relatives and acquaintances now call me the Bayer Aspirin marathon man. I am looking forward to the Glass City Marathon as I will have an opportunity to qualify for my 5th Boston Marathon. Thank you." — Gary L. // Gary finished marathon #52 at GCM last weekend; didn't qualify for Boston this time, but he'll try again. #RunGlassCity
“Such a phenomenal experience, I am 22 years old. As this was my fourth full marathon, it was still just my second in-person full marathon! It has been my goal for years to achieve a Boston Qualifying time...and I DID IT !!! 3:28:21. I could not have done it without your well organized event, or the support of my family, also known as "Team Bekah♥︎”. Thanks again!” —Bekah S. #runglasscity // email us your story here: bit.ly/YourGCMrunningStory![]()
