So sort of a NSV for me, but in a way, much more than that... You have to understand, I'm a disabled vet and in the past have been told I'd never be able to walk again without assistance (cane & leg brace). Well, not only am I walking unassisted now, but I actually was able to jog for almost 10 minutes today! Sure, my pace was slower than a herd of turtles, but for me this is nothing short of a miracle!

    Wow, that's fantastic!
    I'm so happy to be able to run, and I have no disability to stop me - I can only imagine how great you are feeling having overcome those barriers.

    Keep up the great work :smile:
