Abstract

It was 2 months before my wife’s 40th birthday and the planning had begun. In general, I have always tried to sequence the planning of important events with enough cushion time in between to avoid facing any conflicts and to also avoid missing out on the opportunity to celebrate life’s most precious milestones. For instance, to the best we could, we planned our daughter’s birth the month before my 6th New York City Marathon, this allowed for enough time to gracefully welcome her into the world and still train for the run and have family by my side to cheer me on the side lines. It was not atypical then for me to concomitantly plan what would be my next surgery and a surprise party for my wife in a sequence where I could still plot out training runs for my 14th New York City Marathon.
