I’m in my mid 50s. I’m not afraid of having a heart attack. But strokes scare the hell out of me.

This is another stupid post unless you meant to point out that Biden & Kamala voters can do first-grade math and other voters can't. How many more self-owning moments do you have in you today?

He looked exactly, and I mean exactly, like Jesse Owens.

so is your "logic" that he's so fast that he's actually a time traveler?

It’s interesting that he is disclosing this now. He can be an inspiration for people who have had strokes and are trying to recover.
He has been doing a lot of track and field coverage for the BBC before and after the stroke, and he is creating a league in the US that seems like a limited version of the Diamond League.
So despite the stroke, he is still working (and I guarantee no one could tell anything was awry from his speech).
He also looks very good when it comes to his physical condition so he has put in all of the necessary work in physical therapy, etc.
Good for him. He was dealt a really shitty hand despite being in good health, and he completely fought back to how he was.
I wonder what the cause was. The Times article doesn’t say too much.

He has the greatest running style of all time. Love that upright all business look he had.
He looked like his feet were running faster than his upper body wanted to go. He was one of my favorite all-time sprinters.

Don't smoke, exercise everyday, eat/drink healthy (don't be diabetic) and take a baby aspirin everyday and you're good to go.

I was in very good health,, and even after the stroke my measurables were enviable
I didn't smoke I didn't drink I ate healthy I enjoyed desserts but I ate healthy went to the gym 4 or five times a week
And even though the doctors at the time linked my stroke to the Chinese flu I don't know if that's the why
I think they coded at that because of the federal dollars they would get because of it and I didn't have anything else that they could blame the stroke on so why not
10% of strokes they don't know why they happen and yes I don't want cancer but I would rather anything than the stroke
it's a death sentence a slow one
I say that with no self-pity because I've just accepted it
but you just start dying and you feel it
I mean we're all dying every day but we don't always feel it
