From India, Chow started working in the textile industry and then moved into the IT industry as a software programmer, where he has worked for almost 25 years. In 2002, Chow decided to lose weight and started working out. He quit smoking and hit the gym regularly and lost 60 pounds. From 2010 to 2017, Chow ran six marathons and five half marathons.
In June of 2012, Chow had two coronary artery stents placed, but continued his everyday life. His goal for 2017 was to run the Chicago Marathon on October 8th, but suffered a stroke on September 27th and had to have a Coronary Artery bypass surgery in May and one Coronary Artery Stent placed in August.
For more than 18 months, Chow has been recovering from his stroke. He heard about ATF through Baylor Rehab which pushed him to join. Once he came to visit, he said he was stuck.
Chow’s goal for the nine weeks at ATF is to prepare to run at least one long run in the upcoming years.
