Today I actually managed to run a mile. Yes it was indoors around and around the basket ball court at the gym but still, it is the first time in over 20 years that I have managed to run that far. Better yet, I could have done more. Also yesterday I did two sets of 25 leg thrusts at 240 pounds followed by 50 sit ups on a decline bench against a 40 pound resistance band.
probably not much for most of you to shout about, but believe me, for me, it is highly significant. Of course after I have had to take recovery time for the mastectomy it will be back to square one again, but at least this time, perhpas I won't have quite so far to climb out of the hole.

Awesome!!
You'll be right back at it, you'll see. You've proven that you can do it and that's half the battle. Plus we all have faith in you and that counts for something, right?
Great job
