I just walked a tad over a mile! This might not seem a lot for most people, but it's a small miracle for me! My back didn't hurt and I was able to keep up a decent pace of 2.3 mph while pulling my oxygen tank along. Just six months ago, I couldn't walk more than ten minutes without my back killing me and it was at a turtle's pace.

A month ago I walked a half-mile in about the same time it took me to walk a mile today! I finally feel like I won't be a turtle for the rest of my life!

    That is so awesome. You are on track and you're going to be running that mile one day.

    Running seems so foreign of an idea! But at my last pulmonologist visit he told me that with the improvements I have made and if I keep it up I could run marathons in the future!

    I started and stopped and started and stopped all summer but finally seem to have hit my rhythm. You can do it!

    GREAT JOB!!!!

    It really feels great! I never thought I would run again but I'm beginning to see that it can happen!

    Just lots of enthusiasm! :flowerforyou:
