Riders with asthma?

[mmelindas]

Join the club - I am cycling for my health. I also have asthma, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, morbid obesity, and a dozen other things...I know if I don't exercise and lose this weight, I AM A DEAD WOMAN!!

My genetics also suck and that's even more reason to keep on trying to get my b_tt off the couch and get moving. It's too easy to slow down, stay put and die...but not worth it to give up!!


Back in 1989, I broke my right leg in three places, dislocated the knee and put it through the heel of my right foot, broke all the foot heel bones. ..and was told I'd never dance, wear high heels or walk normally....WRONG!!! The leg and foot that bother me now, are NOT the one I badly injured, it's the other one that had to help out the injured leg for a year...but I do wear heels, and do everything the docs told me I couldn't do!!

Cycling is a life-saver for so many of us who have medical problems -- we are the "medical wrecks on wheels" who bike for life! I may not be going strong right now (sprained my right knee) but as soon as it's healed, I'm on my new bike and going strong later on!!

I may be old, fat and out of shape but this lady's gonna get her b_tt in gear and lose that weight and get healthy or die trying!

Rock on ladies!!
