I ran down the block

I can't believe it. DS and I took the dogs for a walk this morning and I told him I wanted to run from the end of one block down to the other end. So we did. I made it the whole way! I was a bit out of breath but I barely broke a sweat. Oh my goodness! I am going to have to do that again soon. MichiGirl

Wow, that's awesome Michigirl. Keep it up and the dogs won't be able to keep pace with you. Lori

That is wonderful Michigirl.....

MichiGirl~ Isn't that exciing???? I have started running too. I am loving it. I feel so good afterwards, not to mention what it does for my self esteem. Those dogs probably didn't know what was going on, keep them on their toes, or paws for that matter. Keep on keepin on girl!! Jeanna

Wow! I only wish I could run. I feel so very good now that I can walk - not limp or struggle - down the block. I love that I can walk up and down the steps without creeping. My arthritis is actually feeling much better without the 100 (almost) pounds extra. Congrats...keep running.

Way to go, Michi Girl. I know just how you feel. I've been walking on my treadmill since about 4 weeks post-op. I've always wanted to be able to run. Yesterday, I did, for the first time. I walked about 20 minutes then slowly cranked up the speed and started running. I only ran for about 3 minutes but I ran!!!! It felt so great. Can't wait to do it again.
