Great News!!

Steve went for his annual pulmonary appointment. He has asthma. Last year at this time his pulmonary function test indicated he had lungs of an 80 year old. After 5 months of exercising, the same test said he has lungs of his age! He gained (or lost) however you want to look at it, 30 years!!!!!

5 months and Counting

We are still at it, together. Working out 4-5 days per week. For a gift to ourselves bought time with a personal trainer (Wyatt Knapper). We work out with him one to two days per week. Now that is working out!! He pushes us to the max. He changes the routines each time. I have not "run" this century....He had us do sprints in the gym! Sometimes its weight machines. Sometimes its hand weights or medicine balls or floor work. We just never know.  This past week he gave us an assignment after our work out. We are to jog 4 miles by our next session...just 7 days to get it done! We are working at it. Its not easy. Nancy Burney has helped me with what I consider a monumental task--jogging period. She has joined me. At this writing I have 1.5 miles logged. So far, I have not resorted to trying to do it on the treadmill. We have jogged in the gym, on the indoor track in Bettendorf, or today outside on the track!

This week we will weigh and measure. Persons continue to notice...."You look fantastic!"
