Yesterday, I was told to run to the back room and back to pick something up. I did it! And I didn't hurt when I was done, I wasn't struggling to breath. I have never done that before, Sure it was not that far, but I don't run...and I did, and it didn't feel bad at all! I don't think I could do it a lot, but that short little run felt achieving!

Normally when I run my lower jaw is hurting, my ribs feel like they are going to rip from my body, and I am struggling to breath - every breath seems strained. I have not been able to feel that great since...about 1995. So, HUZZAH!

    Hey that's great! Tiny steps......Before I lost my weight I couldn't run. I'd give myself headaches from my 'rump' bouncing up and down. My knees would feel like they were going to give way. That was just a few steps. Now a year later and 55 lbs. lighter, I'm running over 6 miles. NEVER had I run before, except in elementary school and that wasn't much (only p.e.). So, it can be done!!!! I applaud your effort!!! Keep it up!
