Back to Exercise (sort of)

[Guest guest]

Well, having been felled by pneumonia, I've done no exercise at all

since early November.

Nothing, nada. (Although the first night I had pneumonia, I went down to

the kitchen to

get a cup of juice and by the time I got back upstaris, it felt like I

had run 5 miles).

This morning I decided it was time to try a little exercise. I did 15

minutes on the

treadmill at 3 MPH (3/4 of a mile). Now, I'm coming from a place were I was

running at 5 MPH, 2-3 miles a day --- yet, this seemed like a big

accomplishment.

It bordered on too much, though, as its' taken me a while to fully catch my

breath - I've been warned not too push too hard, because pneumonia can

easily relapse - so, I'll maybe try this type of thing only every other

day for

the time being - but I'm glad I did something!!!!!!
