I can Walk & TALK

Most of the time when I walk on my lunch break I do so by myself and listen to my Ipod. Well - today a co-worker walked with me. Keep in mind we haven't walked together since late Spring. The last times that we walked - I'd make one or two laps - couldn't carry on conversation because I was out of breath and would have to sit out a lap or so because my legs were killing me.

Today I set the pace - we both talked our heads off and when she was ready to come back in I challenged for another lap - and we did it.

This is a major WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Way to go!  Keep up the good work :)

thank You - I can't imagine not keeping it up at this point.

Isn't it amazing - I know what you mean... I couldn't walk from the parking lot to the time clock at the hospital without feeling so short of breath and heaven help me if one of my co-workers showed up at the same time... I couldn't keep up or talk to them, too...
Now I make and swipe my card and never slow up until I reach my department.   Heehee  Isn't it great???

Major WOW

Congratulations! What a wonderful way to spend your lunch break.

Soon, you'll be running laps around your walking buddy.
