Huge NSV - Post COVID cardio goal met

I know you all will get what a huge success this is.
I had COVID in October 2023. I did several months of physical therapy before my doc and PT thought I could start light cardio on my own. When I started, I would get winded just walking from the car to the gym. It's been 6 months, and I've had a huge breakthrough in the past 3 days.
This week, I've been able to work out vigorously for an hour at a time, and my heart rate recovers by the end of my 15 minute cool down. No issues with asthma, and no freaky heart palpations.
Y'all. I am so excited and proud of myself. I wanted to give up so many times, but I didn't.
