That sounds wonderful. Maybe when I recover completely from my knee replacement surgery I can look into this. Good luck!!

I'm surprised that I'm able to do it - overweight and all. I'm slow, but getting better. Saturday I walked a 5K in 56 minutes and today I walked it in 52. That's only 4 minutes faster, but 5.6 minutes better is 10%.
My goal is to be able to really run a 5K race in October.

Good for you!
I used to walk everywhere but since my surgery I get tired very quickly...
Oh well, one of these days...
